engine, they fly 
shame its not the 1.9tdi polo though with the 150
The 150 engine is the GTI engine that is a turbocharged 1.8 petrol engine
The 1.9 diesel in a polo is 100bhp or 130bhp

I learnt in one of them. Well, it was a Fabia VRS but same engine.
I am the instructor!
Hence the name "Boyrac3r" Lol!
It's just the 80bhp model, but it's fast enough to be fun!
Always fun with the "L's" on at the lights, takes many people by surprise!:devil:
Turbo cuts in really early on the rev range!

phew! quite releaved lol. because if he was the learner... hmm lol.... the car i learned in was just plain, just had L plates, no names or anything on it!
was a 1.4 diesel citroen c2 furio. had racing seat and everything... not sure if it had a turbo though
the c2 hdi has a turbo in it, just a real small one lol.
think it pumps out about 69bhp or something like that. in line with the 1.4tdci fiesta i learnt in. that seat used to give me such bad backache

there is someone on the forum who teaches his students in his grande punto 1.9 multijet , would love to have learned in one of those
i was at the fiat garage today and went from the bravo to the grande punto (sat in them) in the showroom. and its amazing how light and similar they are, they are to light if you ask me.
at least in the stilo i have to try to push the clutch down, and have to move a few muscles to change gear (saying that the stilo is lighter then some other cars )

what actually happens with instructors cars once they have finished with them
the ones with dual controls, how do you get rid of them
pass them onto more poorer driving schools by any chance

they usually take the dual controls out, and fit to the next instructor car. then they sell the car for dirt prices cos they are battered by learner gear grinding and horrid clutch work lol
Right am I being really stupid but what are the graphics supposed to read?
PASS L is that right?

i was wondering that as well
Close!
My last car I sold to one of my pupils, the only reason we sell them cheap is because of the high mileage! I had clocked up over 60000 miles in two years on my last 206, that tends to lower the value!
As for the "battering" learners give the car, you are not really gonna find a better looked after vehicle, I have to have the car fully serviced and totally safe for road use with disregard to expense!
The learners don't really batter the car, yes perhaps the clutch gets a little more hammer, but in five years I have never had to replace one! As for "gear grinding" that should never happen if I'm doing my job right!
The brake pads get changed regularly but again they never get left to long because of safety!
So if you ever see an ex instructors car being advertised, don't totally disregard it!
As for the dual controls, it's very rare you can transfer em from one vehicle to another, they are made and fitted specifically for each model, I usually sell mine!
Hope this has given you a slight insight!
I'm liking this forum, will be hanging around!
So any questions or if I can be of any help to anybody, I don't mind!
i was wondering that as well
An explanation is needed!
My personal number plate reads P44SS L
So my driving school is called "PAASS L"
All links together nicely!
It's not just that I can't spell!
very good lol
