    Yes. I'd like to hear about any issues with the MCAs too as I have been considering them again

    yeah butt ugly and the rake of the windscreen puts the pillar (A pillar?) right in front of your line of sight on any sort of bend forcing you to have to physically look around it.

    Mate you can see from the responses on this forum that if you do go with a Polo your going to get a tonne of help/support too.

    Louis had a bad run with his. The struts (all 4) were way over pressured. Springs were correct rating, same as Gavin's but the car was rock hard. Changing the rebound made zero difference. MCA had the car back a few times, apparently checked all specs and apparently were the same as Gavin's, but it drove awful.

    Other mates with them have had some niggles/knocks and issues and MCA have been quick to address and provide support. Though that has required taking the car to get sorted. I know a few guys with MCA, most have been fine, but a few have had to go back more than once.

    Louis and I run H&R coilovers. pending exchange rate and import GST, you're looking at $1500-$1800 imported. Sourcing locally over $3k.


    To the original poster, there's also Honda Integra Type S...
    Track Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII
    Daily: 2010 VW Jetta Highline
    Gone but not forgotten: 08 Polo GTI

    I used to have an integra type s, very different type of fun, nowhere near as fast as a stage 2 Pog though.
