I too was looking at Polo's this weekend! My wive is going to buy an SE Design, I couldn't interest her in the Blue GT or GTI - she doesn't care about the extra power, although liked the look of the Blue GT in the showroom.

Can confirm - the Blue GT had the same steering wheel as my GTD, was a strange feeling sitting behind it in a polo

Also noticed the screens do look nice, and I think the Polo is a cracking car for the money.

We are going for a 5dr 1.2 TSI DSG, she only does about 5000 miles a year so should serve her very well. I'm looking forward to my our first DSG too.

I'm going through the DTD/Carwow charade again now... annoyingly it can be about 6 months for a Polo at the moment!? A bit off topic, but if anyone has managed to get DTD prices on new cars in stock please let me know - prices seem to take a big hike up if you aren't prepared to wait 6 months. DTD discount is 17% on Polo's!

I also sat in a CC, very nice place to be - the leather seats and cabin seem to envelope you.

One thing I am unsure about - is the cruise control in the Polo GTI active (radar controlled) ACC as per Gof?

yes it is.

Actually radar cruise control is an option, standard cruise is what's fitted as standard to certain models, and it doesn't even appear to be an option on the GTi, just the Blue GT downwards ?

Wow! 6 months for a Polo? I was hoping it would be a lot less than that, especially on a GTI which isn't expected to have anywhere near the uptake as a Golf GTI. Don't know if the missus could be arsed to wait that long when she could have a Mini Cooper in an instant.

I know, I couldn't believe it  . The GTI could be different though, maybe they make those in in Wolfsburg? Our polo comes from South Africa, which was another surprise - makes watching the shipping a little less fun!

DTD phoned me and said late July but other garages are saying 24/26 weeks, so I'm wondering if the DTD dealer are being optimistic.

Mini is another option for us too, her current car has started playing up so it may come down to if she can wait that long (if I can't find a good price on a car already in the country.)

AFAIK (unless it has changed), 5 door Polo's are built (as you say) in South Africa, and 3 Door Polo's in Spain at Pamplona.
