Re: What did you and your Polo do today?
Picked the A4 up today. Wow - it is huge inside and out. Despite being the S-line on lowered springs and 19" wheels, the ride is softer than the Polo. I had been worried that it would be too harsh for the girls in the back - my mate's A3 S-line on 18" wheels was brutal as a rear passenger.
Power delivery is completely different - huge initial shove but less on the higher end.
On the way to the dealership, I gave the Polo a good workout to see what I'd be missing, and to deliver the car on vapours!
I suppose I'll have variety now, on the rare occasion I get to drive the Polo. The wife loves the A4 as a passenger but says its too big for her to drive.
Looks same fitment for flappy paddles, so I'll be fitting mine from the Polo onto the A4.

New car looks mint, need to get yourself a flat bottom wheel from an RS4 / 5 - very chunky. Quattro will come in handy in the winter though, good choice, congrats.... MJ

Looks good! I love the Avant Style, they don’t sell them here anymore in South Africa!
SUVs have taken over, all though the Avant has more space then some SUVs!

Re: What did you and your Polo do today?
Did you take a big knock on the GTI trade in?
2019 Polo GTI i was offered ridiculous trade in values.
I will keep mine longer.

Nope, it was around what I expected. Bought it for about £21800 (after £2800 discount), p/xed for £15000. That was a fairish price.green justin wrote: ↑Sat Jun 20, 2020 10:38 am Did you take a big knock on the GTI trade in?

Re: What did you and your Polo do today?
They’re Not original vw part, I got them for just under £20 however the price of shipping went up from £7 to £10.14 not sure why, the struts before shipping price is £11.56 they took about 2 months to arrive lol. I don’t know if you heard of an online shop called www.diversionautomotive.com , they do aftermarket parts for Mostly VWAG cars & a few other makes, the exact same strut kit is on there for £39.99

I got them from AliExpress https://a.aliexpress.com/_d6IMKEG
Yeah they’re fairly easy to install if you got tools need a couple 12mm spanners and torx bit set cant remember the exact size, took me about 10/15 min
