I saw a white one in Bristol the other day, a 3dr. Looked awesome! And I don't normally like white cars that much!

Ahhh. Okay. I had no idea.

Any negatives found yet by owners, even if extremely minor? Just looking to get a balanced picture before collection. Previous VW cars have been Tiguan, GTI Mk5 and Mk6 and a Scirocco and I have liked them all so hoping Polo will continue that theme.

Having now lived with mine for 6 weeks there are some minor niggles, all of which seem to focus on the glove box.
First, the MDI cable is in the wrong place and therefore difficult to swap iPod and USB connectors. It is a stretch to reach and there isn't enough room for your fingers to grip the release catch on the cable.

Secondly. VW are so tight not to fit a light in the glovebox or a lock. For £18k I expect this to be standard fit.

That's about it. Oh the aftermarket Bluetooth kit is very cheap looking but it does work well.

Garfy, thanks for the info reference niggles, I did think the Bluetooth looked cheap but from experience of the Bury kit in a Tiguan, it is reliable and functions well with most phones. I have three weeks to wait before de-fleet of demo so I am looking forward to being an owner fairly soon

Picked mine up today : )

'Options' were candy white, anthracite wheels, multi-function steering wheel:

Looks sweet in white, loving the anthracite wheels.

Cheers. I wasn't sure if I'd made the right choice with the wheels but from the Configurator I thought the anthracite ones might have more 'depth'. They look alright I think : )

By the way, the steering wheel is a nice surprise, it feels great.
