Been down to my local dealer today to test driver the Polo GTI, and was quite impressed with it. Previously in November I test drove the Golf GTI and was pretty keen to do a deal, however there were no deals to be had. The dealership was no prepared to drop a penny, even offered to leave a deposit if they would add metalic paint, but they wouldn't budge.
However today (6 months on) things have changed considerably, the salesman started off by telling me he sold a Polo GTI the other week and they matched an internet price, and deals are also now available on the Golf ,although less discount than on the Polo.
