Right. So will the Polo 9N2 be the GTI with the current look or with the new face-lift design?

Any ideas on power? Or price? I'm jus bit confused by this new Polo face and GTI business.

And what is a VW Fox?

Where is Milton Keynes? Somewhere famous? 'cos its really familiar but I can't remember what/where it is.

You have a 9n.

The facelifted car will come with the designation 9n2.

The GTI will come out after the facelift.

The GTI will be a 9n2.

Milton Keynes is where the Volkswagen UK Group Head Quarters is located.

And the Fox is the Lupo's replacement.

Had a test drive today and I have to say that i;m not that impressed.

To me it doesn't seem that much quicker than the Golf 130 and for the money you don't get anything extra over the Sport Polo.

I've put down a (refundable) deposit on a Bora Highline 130 though

The trouble is i'm not sure whether to buy it or keep mine for a few more years!

Can anyone help me with my decision?

hahaha, just been looking at the same car for the last week. Found out its gonna still cost me Â£16500 with my options though

(Xenons, 6CD, Pearl Effect Paint, Sports Suspension.)

Its still a bargain really at that price, but the only reason I won't be going for one is because the depreciation on a Bora is quite collasal and I can't afford that lose!

I think the Ibiza Cupra PD160 is what i'll be going for

OK it's not a deisel and neil doesn't like the lok of em, but you can get it for under Â£15000 .

This is what you want.

The CTR would be a bit too common for me if I were to buy a hot hatch. I'm not really a fan of high revving engines either, I love the torque of a diesel

Oh, and I can get a Cupra TDi for near enough Â£14000 dead

(though it still has Barry/Lexus lights like the facelifted CTR

)

Cupra TDi is group 15 insurance, if you can afford that then go for it. It a quality engine with good perforance. Im temped to get one once i've cleared my 2 years ncb. I can get it for cheaper tho

Well the Bora is not what I went for in the end, I think i'll stick with what I got for the time being and keep and look out and try and sell all my bits off the car in the mean time!
