UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

The road I drive on to work and back has fog enough times in the year that I value fog lights on the front, though I'm guessing the brightness of the DRL's may be sufficient.

It does confuse me a little as to why they are removed when the Xenon's are fitted, and the Sight & Light Pack seems to imply separate DRL's are installed but not quite sure on this one yet.

Waiting for the online configurator to be updated to the new Polo spec. as the brochure isn't quite enough

Hi all,

New to the forum and Polo ownership (soon). I've have an order for the facelift Polo due July/August. I've gone for the following:

1.2TSI (90) SE 5 Door
Nimbus Grey
Mirrorlink
Front Passenger Airbag deactivation
Front armrest
Lights & Sight Pack
Cruise & Park Park
Front Fog lights with Cornering Function

Initially had tinted glass but removed as it's not important to me. I would defo would of had the folding mirrors if they had kerb view but it's has been confirm as a missing feature.

The car is a run about so isn't our primary car. But I'm pretty excited as I think the Polo really looks grown up and shouts quality and ages well compared to its peers.

Let me know if you have any questions as I've been through the specs for a few weeks now.

Did you order direct from the dealer or did you try a website like drivethedeal or orangewheels?
I'm curious to know if these websites are genuine, any thoughts people?

DriveTheDeal are real sites, if they were not dealers would not match against them. I've used DTD before so I'm confident.

I basically used DTD for a quote and then called up dealers and told them my exact spec, and they had to beat the DTD price, some dealers will give you a lot cr@p about it's too much discount to give, which is their loss, if your struggling, PM me and I'll let you know the dealer that has matched DTD (based in West Midlands).

On another note, I've decided to add tinted windows back onto my order.

VW's website is awful for updating.

No new polo and no golfs (models of the golf changed spec last Monday).

I agree.

I'm waiting to order, but can't commit until I clarify a few things through the online configurator. I spoke to VW UK and even they said to just keep an eye on it, it will be very soon, they are just waiting for some finer details to be confirmed..?

I'm not sure what they meant be that though, as the order book is technically 'open', and the price listings and brochures have been released..

Well the website has been updated, however there is an error on the Polo page haha! Anyone else get this or is it just me?

Ahh yes

The website has encountered an unexpected error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please try again in a few minutes.

Promising though, fingers crossed for today

Last night I noticed if you select 'I want a new car' and selected polo, it showed the new facelift; when you clicked on the picture it was the pre-facelift model!

Site is live!!!!!

Don't link the facelift. Makes it look like an Up!

Lol

Well I've been through and spec'd the following, which has now been sent to the best offer Dealer on carwow:

Polo BlueGT in Silk Blue metallic
Anthracite wheels
Standard Blue Speed seats
Light & Sight pack
Carpet mats
Ensurance
Service Plan
Parking sensors, front and rear
Front Mudflaps
Rear Mudflaps
Door Sill Trim - Steel (3 Door)

Nice spec, really like the looks of the BlueGT, but missus said no, it's an overkill for a school run car. She's prob right.

Mine will hopefully replace a 12 year old Vauxhall Astra 1.6 16v LPG which I have owned since new It is about to clock 210,000 miles and had a full professional engine rebuild at 156,000 miles (but didn't need it!).

The Polo BlueGT is the best compromise of performance and economy that I can find I'll be covering approx. 10,000 miles per annum now.

what are peoples thoughts on Urano Grey? Its hard to tell from the online configurator..
