BigMon Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Popped into the stealer today to get some bits for my Loop.Whilst I was there, I asked about the Polo GTI I'd seen previously. He told me they'd sold it almost instantly and there was a 2 month wait until they got another one!! Interesting factoid for AndyW (if you don't already know it) is they're apparently limiting production to 2K a year.I then wandered through to the secondhand car section. Drooled over the new Golf GTI (grey leather seats style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" /> ) and then saw a W reg V6 4Motion for £9K.Went to have a look and oh dear, what a terrible interior. My eye was instantly drawn to the appalling faux wood panelling around the dash and on the gear stick. It really made it look like an old fart's car.Not sure if this is normal for the 4Motion, but it was truly hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Nice factoid (so I'm not the only one who sometimes listens to Steve Wright on R2) there, no I didn't know that. I did know they are selling well though, considering (until the Polo) that the Mk5 GTI has been its cheapest hot hatch for a far while, its easy to see why its shifting, even at the price.And yeah, most of the 4Motion's I've seen have had the top spec wood option. Rubbish isn't it. Its a shame, cos in R32 trim the Mk4 Interior is lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I kinda like the wood trim, lol style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Photon Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yup, it comes as standard. My brother has a 4Motion with a black leather interior and the wood just looks totally out of place and aftermarket in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBR Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Wood trim=Standard trim for V6 4motion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Talking of Mk4's, the R32's are holding their price quite well...most are still £17-18k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yeah, they have annoyingly bottomed out. In the past I've seen ones go as cheap as 15k, but since the Mk5 was launched it seems values have gotten solid again and there no bargains about!

MattyB Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Personally I'd save a couple of K's and have a 147GTA anyway style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 How much is a new Polo GTi on the continent compared to the UK price Andy? Apologies if this has already been covered in one of Bikerz 10 threads about the car! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if this has already been covered in one of Bikerz 10 threads about the car! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />I tried to find out a couple of weeks back, and nobody had a clue in my local dealer. I checked out the brochures and they hadn't been updated to cover the GTI model, unlike the UK, where they certainly have been updated.That said, yesterday we passed a VW dealer outside Cannes and I think I spotted a red one out the corner of my eye.And btw, the current Polo GTI thread is HERE and started by me, I think Bikerz has lost interest in it now. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
