if they got no product they don't really give a fuck if they loose a few as they were never able to get enough to satisfy demand

Correct

PEople who went in an wanted a car with no options got them rather quickly from the first batch.

If you order xenons, audio upgrade, leather then you had to wait.

That's why I told my mate who was considering a Polo GTI to go with a Golf GTI, you can get them easier and they will negotiate on price enough that they are Polo GTI price anyway.

Same story with the base models, I was gonna get a 77TSI for the mrs to drive around but the pricing is so ridiculously tight that I ended up with a 103TDI Golf for only 2k more.

You can negotiate $40k down to near $28k?

A Polo GTI is a lot more than $28k drive away! Their list prices are bullshit.

A 77TSI with just a comfort pack and sports pack was tipping the $30k mark.

They offered me a Golf GTI for $38k when I bought the Diesel, would've bought it except I needed an auto

A list price is a list price, if it's got aircon & cruise control then all other options are wankery anyway. And onroads for a $27790 3dr Polo GTI can't cost more than for a heavier larger-engined $41490 3dr Golf GTI mit the same slushbox - apart from discount & negotiation. Knocking anything near 1/3 or $14k off even a Falcodore would be an epic effort!

Price difference between a 5 door Polo GTI and 3 door Golf GTI is a minimum of $7k.

And they won't negotiatevmuch on either. Agree that the Golf is a much better car, though.

[Captiva Fan]

$29990 for a 5dr Polo and $38990 for manual 3dr Golf is a lot closer, but again, the onroads for the Golf can't be any less so to get any closer than that $9k difference you're getting a discount; very surprised if you can get anywhere near even half of that.

I guess with onroads the percentage-difference is a bit smaller?

Thread revival
Got a call from the local VW dealer on friday saying that he has a white 5 door Polo Gti (sunroof, premium sound and comfort pack) coming at the end next month. I grabbed it.

The nopics should be a little happier now.

So I got the Polo GTi this evening.
So far so good. Traction control gets a bit of work out when hammering it.
The sunroof is pretty cool too.

10 days in with the Gti. Still pretty happy it.
Went for a little blast through the hills and its nice and fun (RESON8 driving was more exciting than my effort). Doesn't feel rocketship fast in a straight line, but more than enough poke for city driving (which is what the Mrs will use it for mostly)
Averaging around the 8L/100 for the first tank.
Only issue is a small rattle from the wind deflector (when the sunroof is closed). Will get it sorted at the first service. Also ordered the premium Satnav/bluetooth module from ebay (got to love VW's modular approach to upgrades!)

Some of the guys on Vw Watercooled bat off like these things are the best cars ever made. So far I would say they are good value for what they are. Not too much point of pics or a thread on this thing. Its a stocky VW. Looks the same as in the sales brochure.

LOL very true.

I was a nice car to drive felt very solid for such a small car. I like how the power delivery isn't completely linear the supercharger gave plenty of low down torque but you could still feel the turbo kick in and start pulling. Also has pretty sweet induction/engine noise.
Dsg makes it a nice daily but for weekend car a manual would be more fun.

Will be good to take it for another spin once you do some induction and exhaust mods plus more boost
