I love it. I had a Polo SE 95 which I traded in after a year and it feels like a much better car quality wise. It feels like a completely different car in my opinion. It’s my first auto too so I think it’ll take some getting use to as my left foot is confused now!

My initial thoughts, ( the drive home from the dealer , about 25 miles) were not as positive as yours ! Tyre noise , feel every bump , checked the tyre pressures this morning, they were all 10 psi too hard . Set a them to recommend figures the car is transformed. I was really worried for an hour!!!

Good to know the dealer did a thorough job when they did the PDI. I wonder what else they may have missed?

Yes I thought the same regarding the PDI , they are Michelin Primacy, my previous car was a mk 7 golf with 18 wheels , so I was expecting the Polo on 17 to be ok . I did panic driving home , but all ok now the front tyres were set at 46 psi the rears 44 !!!

I think you will find that the label for tyre pressure found on the driver side door sill states those PSI or somewhere close to that.

It has been discussed before that they have been set so high to improve MPG but the general consensus between forum members is that they are too high and are better set around the 35-38 mark

Picking my plus up Thursday , dealer told me my figures are far better than I signed for 8 months ago ☺

Got the interest rate drop and £1000 extra deposit today picking up my polo GTI plus on Saturday. It shaved around £50 off a month very happy bunny
