What have other people said about your car

[JoeGTI]

Plenty of positive comments, but also a few corkers such as these...

"Is that the new Polo? My sister got one of those"

"Did you get white to make it less attractive to thieves?" (I think this was an intended compliment!)

"why no back doors?"

"what's it like on petrol?" (it's a GTD)

"what's with the funny pattern on the seats?"

"you paid how much for a golf?!!!"

And a few more that don't come to mind right now!

I had the car out election campaigning in a rural ward, and I drove up to this big posh country house and paused to put a leaflet in the US-style mailbox.  The Man of the House, who was doing something in his driveway, strolled over, looked at the car and the sticker on the windscreen and said, "are all you SNP people rich?"

i get loads of good comments for my car

only negative was from the wifes dad the day i got it. pulled up said 'its the wrong colour' then didn't even come over to have a proper look. nice.


when i first got it a few different neighbours i had never even spoke to walked over or drove past to look at it and talk about it. one neighbour just bought a new polo just before i got this so she was well impressed.


they do look good and everyone seems to like them. the wheels definitely get the most comments followed by the white paint.

I admire mkvikens GTI as its always gleaming, spotless clean like its just been pro detailed inside and out. So I can understand people comenting on it.
White was always reps cars and looked down on in previous generations so I understand his coments. My father would have said the same if I had got white. Or in my case if mine was red.

  cheers Geoff - i washed it yesterday and got it dried despite the torrential rain, took it out today to fit my sway bar in the glorious sun shine and goes what... took for a 5 min test drive and it lashed it down! so car needs cleaning again



on topic he only likes/buys black cars so he thought white was the work of the devil. plus i think your right - older people see white as being a basic colour or a bit 1980's essex maybe?

My old man said, how much MPG do you get and my mrs said she wasnt that bothered until I let her drive it home from a mates house last night (yes I let her) and she has now said I better watch where I leave my keys as she is going to nick it. haha.

The bloke next door said 'Someone is doing well' the moment he saw it and my sister said 'Slow down!!!!'

So far no one else has commented.

The most common on I hear is .. "did you respray your car black?"

to which I usually reply "that was a mk6.... oh never mind". 

[gizzywizzy]

Most comments are about the Monza Shadows everyone round here seems to love them 

[andykram]

I agree Gizzy - loads of positive comments but mostly about the "bling" wheels.

Having said that the Mk2 gets more than the Mk6.

A kid a school said "sir, that is a sick whip" 
I assume it was a compliment, as he followed up with "my brother will defo buy it off you when you sell it"
