5 years & 35,000 km of pleasant ownership with a Volkswagen Polo GTI

She hasn't needed anything other than routine service, except for the 3 nasty punctures due to massive potholes and a rear right ABS sensor.

BHPian anandpadhye recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Time flies...it was 5 years ago this day that she came home!

And what a fun she has been.

She hasn't done as many cross country trips as she should have (blame it on the 3) but she has been my running buddy. I take her to all my practice runs and marathons in the nearby hills, she loves the ghats just as much as I do.

Some photos from a recent hill run, normally I park her at the base and run up and down, this time, I parked her at the top and ran down and up.

Sometime during this drive, ODO crossed 35k mark.

Still on original battery and brake pads/disks.

She hasn't needed anything other than routine service, except for the 3 nasty punctures due to massive potholes that led to a relatively early tyre change @17k mark (one of the original tyres was intact, I retained it as a spare) and rear right ABS sensor failure just 2 weeks ago which was replaced at the service center.

Cheers!
