My first car a few years back was a 2014 6R, immediately fell in love. Broke my heart selling it but I bought a mk7 golf. The golf lasted about two months as every time I watched a polo drive by I wished I was in it. Now as I type this I’m sitting in my 3rd polo - a 2015 6C GTI and have a big fat smile on my face, greatest wee car in the world!

@maxmaksimow8964 Год назад

My heart broke when I had to scrap my 22 year old Polo mk3 classic highline. Seriously, I almost cried. In my country they say "old love doesn't rust" They're wrong - My Polo was rusty. Now I have Polo mk4 Cross my second love.

@danl4252 3 года назад

I think it’s pretty cool that the MK3 GTI Polo came with Xenon lights as standard, in around 2000! I have been looking at the MK5 facelift GTI as something I might buy in the future, coming from a MK4 Golf. Although I’m not sure what to do yet. But it does seem to be a very neat little package! Cheaper tax than my Golf, quicker, an extra gear, and LED headlights. Only drawback really is the initial cost and slightly less space (not that I need it anyway)

@wellzy9819 7 месяцев назад

I recommend going for the 9N3 mk4 polo with the 1.8T 20V. This has a 'cup edition' wich has 180hp and a loads of tuning room. Had this car for 2years until somebody crashed into mine🥲

@BeyondtheTherapyDoor Год назад

I own a Mk 5 Polo GT TSI, 1.2 TSI with DSG, it's amazing for a small car. Very quick, very stable at speeds over 120kph, it doesn't even feel like it's going that fast until you look at the speedo and you are well north of 150-160kph, over the speed limit and very dangerous speeds for Indian highways, though it's much safer compared to regular indian car market, and is incredibly fun to drive. It's the best small car that one was able to buy in India as now it's discontinued. The new facelift (Mk 6) was never launched in India with people preferring mini SUVs which is sad, imo.

I really enjoyed the video 😁! As it reminded me of the MK3 Polo I owned nearly 16 years ago. I loved the car, hardly put a foot wrong until the ECU played up badly a few times 🤦🏻‍♂️. Just one part of your video which stuck out, was when you were talking initially about the Polo's competition in the car market. You mentioned the Citroen AX, but a Citroen 2CV clip had been edited in? Very good video overall though, your passion for the car and make come through really well!

@HIDLampDashcam Год назад

In 2015 I got a base model 2004 Polo, with the lowest power 1.2 single cam 3-cylinder engine. Back then it had done 81k miles, now we're in January 2023 it's done 175,000 miles, so in a few months I'll have put 100k on it, and in that time the engine and gearbox have never been opened, to my knowledge it's still on the original clutch. It's been used for fortnight long family holidays in the highlands of Scotland and around Europe, it's done the Nurburgring, has performed very well in various grass auto tests, done daytrips from Cumbria to Hertfordshire and multiple weekends from Cumbria to Cornwall and now I've got roof bars to carry longer things. I can't really say it's doing very well for a £1,200 car bought on ebay because it's doing very well full stop.

The Ibiza had the Golf 3's engine bay and the Polo's rear suspension. The Classic and Variant were just rebadged Cordobas. The issue with the engines is that, because the rails are closer together, there's no space for the larger gearbox of the EA827 family. That's also the reason there was no 1.9 TDI Polo 6N, only SDI
