Probably the Worlds greatest Polo resource

Most likely a 62KWh Leaf.
Very happy to hear that you enjoying your new ride, that DSG is awesome. Just wish the centre console arm rest had adjustable heigths
Probably not for you, but on HUKDs right now, there's a post for 110kW(150ps)/40kWh battery Leaf Tekna lease for a net £217pm over 36 months.Andy Beats wrote: Wed Jun 02, 2021 1:06 pmMost likely a 62KWh Leaf.
Don't need the range compared with the 40KWh, but 210bhp as opposed to 150bhp appeals.
The GTI is surprisingly good on those long journeys.monkeyhanger wrote: Thu Jun 03, 2021 11:31 am The Polo performed admirably on my once a fortnight commute this morning - 32miles, 80mph almost all the way down and 44mpg. Amazing - presumably the GPF is completely empty as it's done 2 x 64 mile round trips in a row and not been used in between. Last journey tomorrow, to Prestige Performance Yorkshire in Selby.
It is when the GPF is clear - I usually get 39mpg for tgat journey. Had 46mpg Newcastle to York before,, doing 80mph. Stuck to 70 on the way back and got 53mpg.S_94 wrote: Thu Jun 03, 2021 12:11 pmThe GTI is surprisingly good on those long journeys.monkeyhanger wrote: Thu Jun 03, 2021 11:31 am The Polo performed admirably on my once a fortnight commute this morning - 32miles, 80mph almost all the way down and 44mpg.

I went to London last weekend, 360 mile round trip with 4 people in the car. Averaged 46mpg. Cost roughly £56 in fuel all together.
Right spec, Tekna is the only one worth bothering with.monkeyhanger wrote: Thu Jun 03, 2021 12:05 pm

Jeez, that's not a trip I'd fancy making in the Gti, way too noisyS_94 wrote: Thu Jun 03, 2021 12:11 pm

Compared to an EV or a Range Rover Evoque it’s likely to be noisier, but IMO not excessively so. I don’t find my GTI+ excessively noisy and wouldn’t have an issue using it for a 360 round trip. I did some longer runs in my previous GTI, including an airport run which was a 300 - 320 mile round trip and didn’t find it noisy or tiring.Andy Beats wrote: Thu Jun 03, 2021 12:43 pmJeez, that's not a trip I'd fancy making in the Gti, way too noisyS_94 wrote: Thu Jun 03, 2021 12:11 pm

Yeah in all fairness it was a bit noisy but when you've got music on and chatting it's not something that you notice.SRGTD wrote: Thu Jun 03, 2021 1:09 pmCompared to an EV or a Range Rover Evoque it’s likely to be noisier, but IMO not excessively so.

It's all relative, of course, but I do find it a noisy wee car - especially on tyre roar.SRGTD wrote: Thu Jun 03, 2021 1:09 pm

Jealous of the MPG.monkeyhanger wrote: Fri Jun 04, 2021 9:58 am 110 miles to drop off this morning, doing 80mph almost all the way and it averaged 47.3mpg!
Am I doing something wrong as I get about 35mpg on the motorwaymonkeyhanger wrote: Thu Jun 03, 2021 11:31 am The Polo performed admirably on my once a fortnight commute this morning - 32miles, 80mph almost all the way down and 44mpg.
