Are paddles standard on the Polo BlueGT?

Hi

Does the Polo 1.4 Blue GT DSG come with paddle gear changers? I know that the 1.2 90hp DSG doesn't. Is it possible to say, roughly, in percentage terms the likely insurance difference between these two models?

Many thanks (and happy new year)

Hi Philip,

According to Volkswagen, paddle shifters for the DSG gearbox on that model are not standard, but are available as an option. And a not very expensive option either - only just over €100.

The insurance question isn't really one we can help you with, as there are many more factors to an insurance quotation than just the model of car. We can only suggest that you ring a couple of the bigger companies and ask to get a feel for the price difference.
