How long did you keep your polo?

Post by alexperkins »

Well, I thought I'd ask the question, as everyone seems to be selling up (including myself!)

So, how long did you keep your polo or perhaps polos? until you changed it for a bigger and better one :P

Thanks :)

I'll be keeping mine probably another 2 years, at least one year, maybe forever, and have had it 15 months now

Had my original 1.0E 6N2 for just under 2.5 years.

Then swapped it for the GTi which I've now had for over 2.5 years, and I'm starting to think it might be time for a change.
