AndyW Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thought I would stop spamming your other halfs new job thread as I'm sure theres a few people who'll be curious about this, me included.Could you list the standard spec + prices (which we sort of know already really, but worth putting down) and then, most importantly, options + prices.Thank you in advance!

Crusoe Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 pretty sure we covered this already, price was just under £15k (£14800 or something basic) plus £1k for metalic and xenons, climate and cd was standard i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, do I have to explain everything. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Don't make me come on msn and abuse you.Do something constructive, I'm going to see if these GTi's are out anywhere yet, weren't they being released in Aus right now? Anyone know any Aus VW forums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) here you go bruce seats look quite coolhttp://www.volkswagen.com.au/2004/Passenge...el=gti&Car=polothey get some quite cool looking alloys too if you look in the accessories section, looks like xenons aren't an option there are all though.

AndyW Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Bonza.Good flash site on the vw.au site, HERE.Colours you can have, Flash Red, Black Magic, Candy White, Reflex Silver and Shadow Blue. Only options appear to be heated leather (with red stitching no less) and Met paint. As you said, no mention of Xenons, Sat nav, or other toys.Love those R-Line alloys, and the Exor STP ones. Lovely.

Crusoe Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 all five stud though Andy so have to get a polo first. I'd take a white one with the black and red check interior and no extras and haggle down to £14K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I have to say, with climate being standard, theres very little else I'd want and so it doesn't seem like such a bad deal. Xenons would be nice, but if they aren't even an option then no point worrying about em.I'd fit OEM VW sat nav later. Surprised theres no bigger wheel option though.

Crusoe Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 the larger 18s off the golf in the same style would be nice lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 It still is not that quick for the 1.8T engine when you think about it (8.2sec to 60)..........but being a turbo it makes it more tunable.But I guess it could not be any quicker due to competing then with the Golf GTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 real world figures shoudl be mid 7s for 0-60, remember the figures for vw are at 40deg which doesn't help the turbo motor and half a tank of fuel and 2 passengers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thank you Jen! So thats about £18,515 for a car to my tastes. Hmmm, suddenly, £24,000 for a similar spec Golf GTi doesn't sound so bad. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thats why I'm taking a fancy to the R32. Its fully loaded. Only thing the dealer reckoned he'd have as an extra was cruise control to stop himself speeding all the time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yep, R32 is a great spec, only thing I'd add would be sat nav and maybe DSG, which is of course how it can quickly get costly!I'm pretty sure though, I'd rather have a boggo Golf GTi than a fully loaded Polo GTi, and I'm sure most buyers will feel the same.

LoopyLing Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I saw a GT TDi polo (slightly older shape) with 6 speed tother daywhy's the Polo Gti only 5 speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 As far as i'm aware it's drivetrain issues, it's the same reason that they won't be available with DSG it doesn't fit with the drivetrain. Neither the 1.8T Ibiza FR or the 1.8T Ibiza Cupra have a 6-speed box they're both fitted with 5-speeds so it's the same reason as that.

Tigz™ Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) I think I may have just changed my mind about the car in one split second. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />300hp and 410NmFor the new VW Polo 9N3 the VW & AUDI performance tuning company B&B (www.bb-automobiltechnik.de) is able to fall back on over ten years experience in tuning the Polo’s 1.8 Turbo engine, an engine found in many VW & AUDI models which B&B have successfully been enhancing.At the entry level engine power is increased to 195 hp for the price of EUR 998,-. This is achieved by a change in the electronics whereby boost is slightly increased and the electronic injection maps are readjusted. In the following stages engine power is heaved to 210, 245, and 260 hp and finally incredible 300 hp and 410 Nm at the last, EVO R stage. To achieve these performance levels our B&B technicians exchange the standard 1.8L motor against a completely modified engine with new B&B special pistons, connecting rods, a special cylinder head and a large turbocharger. Extensive changes to the charge air cooling and and the injection system are also undertaken. To further reduce exhaust gas temperature and back pressure a special exhaust system has been developed for the Race-Polo with a large downpipe and a high-performance racing catalyst. Oil temperature is always kept at an optimal state through the installation of a thermostat-controlled Slim-Line oil cooler. Our extremely powerful Polo GTI blasts from 0-100km/h in 5.8 seconds and speed limitation doesn’t set in until 254km/h. To secure optimal safety at these extreme speed levels B&B has developed height adjustable coilover suspension sets in different variations and high-performance brake systems, which keep the Polo safe and on track. Exclusive wheels in 17†and 18†dimensions as well as an eye-catching, muscular body-styling kit round off and complete the exterior look of this small albeit massively powerful Polo GTI. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> Edited February 1, 2006 by Tigz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
