I got one of these, in red, for my partners son. Cracking little first car and he loves it. Amazed how nicely built the interior is and all the options it has. Costs pennies to own and run too.Some better photos of the car. But it does badly need a wash already, AGAIN!!
Is it the new Polo GTI though?
There can be only one.
It is a really decent little car and a bit of a return to form for the brand. If I were to pick faults it would be the rear leg room, which if you have a tall driver is somewhat limited. It also has some tricky displays which could be obscured by the steering wheel, but it wasn't a problem for me and wasn't a problem for the driver of the car today. Also, the non GT model I sat in at the dealership didn't have a seat height adjustment for the passenger seat (the GT does) and it felt far to high to sit in there, I mean crazy high. I am 6 foot tall but long bodied so felt it more than some might.
Interior quality is a step up and really to drive it is very very quiet and feels much bigger than it is, so a lot like a Polo does.

Its been a couple months since I bought it, but I needed to replace my 2005 Fabia as it was falling apart. Its not much but its a good fun car. 2012 Mini JCW, handles like a little road legal go kart.
Enjoy! Hopefully the engine won't lunch itself :xIts been a couple months since I bought it, but I needed to replace my 2005 Fabia as it was falling apart. Its not much but its a good fun car. 2012 Mini JCW, handles like a little road legal go kart.

Well hopefully not, managed to get one with full MINI service history, its on 70k miles with a chain done at 52k. Also made sure to get one with an N18 engine to minimise the risk of things happening

Forgot to post this..
My 2019 Model 3 lease was due to end last month so started looking around earlier this year for a replacement. Had a look at both the C30 and the Model Y as needed a 'proper' boot for the new dog. Loved the C30 but for the same price, it felt much smaller especially in the back. Day to day this wouldn't be an issue but on trips having 3 teenagers/adults in the rear would be a squeeze.
So placed an order for a Performance Y in middle of February expecting it to take a few months to arrive. 2 weeks later I had upgraded and had to return the 3 sooner!
Not much different from my 3 apart from a few quality of life upgrades. Loving it so far but there are so many around now

I am thinking of a Y to replace the Peugeot e2008. Mostly because it can dual hat as my wifes main car but also do a good distance (the Pug can but it isn't super comfy for longer journeys).Forgot to post this..

I hadn't realised though, it is quite a bit wider and longer than the e2008. Does it feel "bigger" in a bad way compared to the 3?
Soldato
Kind of. It certainly feels taller which I find nicer than the 3 but width and length wise it feels about the same although it is actually slightly wider I think?
I'd probably go for just the dual motor if I was to order it again but would always want the latest spec (Ryzen, black trim, etc)
Pretty sure the facelift Y is coming early next year so the price of these may drop also?

Probably last drive of the year, washed it and she’s back in the garage for a while. Also put the badge on the front bumper..
Yeah it's actually quite a beast. I don't know if they changed design but I remember it being a lot more squished when it first came out which let me to think it'd be quite a small foot print.
I mean it's four inches wider than my e43!
