Aah!! The wait is over! After ordering my new car in July (yep, thanks to the strikes, my car was delayed by 3 months - now is a good time to note that normal production of a vehicle is 1 week!), I finally took delivery of him on Friday. Wow! is really the only reaction I had. Since I had never test driven him or even seen a 2010 Cross Polo in real life, well, besides the time one zoomed past mi on Main Road, it was almost like getting a suprise package. Don't think I was going into this blind either, I did drive the old 1.9 TDI for a month so I knew exactly what I could expect from the newer version.
It took a while to sign all the papers, since, not only did I finance him, I got every warranty, guarantee and policy under the sun. I can officially say that I should have some worry free driving for 5 whole years!! It sort of added to the excitement though. Once I was done there, I waited while my super efficient sales manager (she truly was excellent during the whole process from the beginning) finished with another customer and took some pictures of my new addition (they even put a bow on him, how sweet!). Then it was my turn. I received the low down on every button, nob and light in my new car (his name is Spanky by the way). Seriously this car can do everything, well, except help mi pass my exams. It has all the usual things that a car comes with these days (that my previous car didn't). In addition to that it has cruise control, heated side mirrors, all round electric windows, which I can control from my side (sorry for anyone travelling with mi) and my personal favourite, the best cup holders I have seen in a car ever. While I know most people do not place much emphasis on cupholders, I need them to be functional. Some cars have rickety ones that come out of the dash (and interfere with radio usage) others are too small or too shallow. Mine are just right for mi, they are deep and sized perfectly for my purposes. And, on top of all the 'bells and whistles' there are some awesome storage compartments to hold anything I need to bring on my future journeys!
Honestly, I can certainly recommend this car, not only for girls but I think the guys will like the sporty looks and styling too. And, of course, 77Kw is nothing to sniff at for a 1.6.
