2012 I bought my polo Vivo GT for R160 k. 11 years later, 350 k km later is still the cornerstone of my garage. When the new one was launched for R250 k I thought no man that's too much, now is at R350 k. Glad I keep mine❤
I also learnt to drive in a 2012 Polo Vivo, that clutch was very smooth, very light🫶🏽 spoiled me for a while because I switched to a Clio and yeeerrr yaze ya tia clutch ya teng 😭
At 350k i would definitely get a good second hand Renault Duster Intens EDC because its an SUV and has better fuel consumption than the GT. Cool review, always looking forward to a new video from you, keep the good work up 👍👍
VW e tsubile manala. R350k odd for a BASIC car... Give me the creature comforts that will make me feel like I spent my money well. Thank you for your honesty, its refreshing to hear.
I would get a low mileage or demo polo Life. I like the gearbox and the engine in that vivo gt but in this economy? Nah bruv. They'll end discontinuing this one.
Bruh with the value of the optional extras, you could now get yourself into an entry level T-Cross or Taigo. Scratch that, you even qualify for multiple Compact SUV's like the Corolla Cross, Venue etc...
My money would go towards a Suzuki Baleno. One thing i know is that Polo lovers will buy a Polo/ Vivo no matter the price tag. This Polo Vivo GT is poverty spec, how can VW not put in rear electric windows and electric mirrors AOWA
Volkswagen is literally pricing themselves out of South Africa. Hyundai and Suzuki are great choices to look at especially with those warranty options.
@@everythinggoes850 My opinions are subjective, once quality and originality have left the chat there’s nothing left for me to spend. I dislike blind loyalty. Especially with my money.
My queen ❤️ I looooooooooooooooooove u 💕 so much... I love how u review these cars. Big up and well I'm much of a Polo GTI fan. But this one is good too.
For the first time a car journalist gives an honest review this car is over priced and with that money one can get better bigger crossovers than that polo
You raised great points👍i mean volkswagen are killing us in terms of spec ...grand i 10 has electric mirrors standard, ford comes with PDC standard 😂volkswagen should up their game especially on the polo
@@lesegoramasika5578 worse others say the current one is a Polo 8 .....I think it's just a matter of comparing it to a golf. They think for every Golf generation there is a Polo
The price is high because it's for polo Boys😂 , they are punishing us and they know we will still buy it , I have never heard of Suzuki swift Boyz tbh....
For a 25 year old gent it's a great car sport quite punchy after turbo lag is customizable stance alone makes it proper other a Belino is for 35 year old people 😂
Waaaaaaay too much money consider what you get at that price, for me I would rather choose the Clio V Zen or even the Life model which does come with enough features that are standard, sure the GT does have slightly more power and torque than the Clio V but is it worth that price, hell no. That Parking Assist thing which cost around R6300 must be a standard feature in this day and age.
According to me the GT's performance 81kw 200NM 9.7s 0-100km\h and fuel efficiency 4.6l/100km has no competition in the R200- R350K price range for 20s - 30s aged young man with 300-350K budget Its brothers: vivo highline's fuel consumption is very high because of its 1.6 petrol engine its pricing around R309K which is not far from the big brother performance: 0-100km\h in 10.8s . The Comfortline is slow 0-100KM /h in 12.2s 63KW 132NM pricing around R280K. The trendline is around R250K let's not go to the performance. I also think the target market plays a big role on this car. Rio, i20 and Suzuki according to me are too feminine and slow for a guy in their 20s-30s. If you have the money, love speed, want a fuel efficient good looking car and you're a guy in their 20s-30s this is the car for you.
This is way overpriced! At least one can go to Comfort Line or Highline 1.6. I had Polo Vivo Highline and returned it within 3 months. Not so fuel efficient for me, very low specd, nha one must just look elsewhere ffor budget cars. Paying R6k and close to R2k insurance for a Polo Vivo is not worth it.
With that pricing, this is a budget first car for a standard rich kid or a working person with a little more salary to spend 😅😂 But otherwise, a very solid option that ticks most boxes for a budget starter car R350K for a car with no electric rear windows ke mshika shika though 🤨
