Why has it been delayed? I wanted mine on command but the seller told us I had to wait until end of March because of new regulations (so VW needs to make some changes). But I ended up buying one already in the stock (not a GTI, a comfortline) that I received in one week.

The problem with buying this car is the options you get (or should I say don't get) depending on what's rolling off the production line. Vw SA make afew with these options and then make some with those options and it's pretty dam hard to get what you actually want. While the Vw SA site shows you what options you can choose (so you think ok I will have it with that but not this) you will be surprised as to how little choice you have. I held off buying mine for 4 months cause no car rolling off the production line had what I wanted or did not want. Eventually one rolled off in late November which finally had the leather seat pack (and not the all cloth ones which are basically lifted from the polo beats). It had 95% of all the options except for some reason one of the cheapest options (the folding electronic door mirrors which are only a R895 option) was not fitted lol. But it's a good car, it's basically a ever so slightly detuned golf Gti mk6 underneath a polo body shell.

Pako Wame Yeah on the burn-in period of engine. But it depends how u want your car, drive it hard and it will go hard. Drive it slow and it gets slower. If you want it to last as long as possible though, you take abit extra care on the burn-in period on a new car. You need to check with your dealer how long that period is for your specific car.

@shawntaylor95096 жыл бұрын
Not sure about the theory regarding drive-it-slow it becomes slow. The rule I go by is with any car(especially turbo-charged): I don't rev the engine extremely hard when the engine's oil temperature has not reached operating temperature. If not doing so, you can cause premature wear on the internal parts of the engine, as well as the turbo charger. Just a fun fact - doing a quick search, turbo's operate in a range of 280 000 RPM's. In terms of answering your question directly - my knowledge is limited in terms of engine design. What I do know is the fact that the rings and the pistons (and maybe other components that I'm not aware of) go through a process called seating if I'm not mistaken? Stand to be corrected - the short explanation: the rings and pistons "carve" into the block. Much like the process of a bullet exiting the chamber of a pistol, giving it an unique "signature". You'll often hear a lot of people say they feel their new vehicle's engine is "stiff" and heavier on fuel. That's most probably due to the explanation I gave above. Disclaimer: keyboard warriors my statement(s) above is not based on years of scientific research and stand to be corrected.
