An update after nearly 2 years!!

Not that I was not on this forum or was just too busy to post an update. Whoever said "Time flies" probably didn't mention the word Supersonic. By the time I decided to update my ownership thread, nearly 2years fizzed by.

My GT TDI turns 4 this July, and incidentally turned up this number on the ODO:

I have realized that the Polo GT TDI/TSI were indeed very special cars. The build, the usable features, the aftermarket modification capabilities and just the design is timeless. For sure, I will hang on to this machine as long as "Legally" possible.
