460k is very steep for a polo. As good-looking and as enticing as it is, I wouldn't be comfortable with spending 10-15k per month on a polo . I'd save up and get something else or buy as used previous gen TSI
You can find a low mileage manual at 345k. The DSG price is just nuts as it comes across as intentionally inflated. Which is ridiculous because the car is made in South Africa 😢
Ja man, VW prices across the range are just ridiculous. And don't give me that "car prices have gone up in recent years"
@@Asanda82 they’re taking advantage of their popularity.
Well done on this review Nicks. Enjoyed it thoroughly! 🎉
Thank you Rebaby !
I'm settling for kwid
I'd get a pre owned mazda 3 astina or a toyota corolla xr
A bit steep when it comes to the pricing. Personally I would consider a pre-owned Mazda 3 astina or the CX3 Individual.
Or even a demo Cx-5 carbon edition
Cars are expensive in general bafwethu 😅 even the 2nd hand market is just insane. Since 2020 nje the prices are crazy. Its not only the polo, even the likes of Picanto have crossed the 200k mark.
What's the cause?
Polos used to be R200tao. R400k is madness. Le ge ba reng inflation. So rather - get pre-loved instead. Manning the price tag of a new car is insane.
VW cars tend to retain their value, so the pre loved market is insane 😅 and insurers clap you for driving a VW
You need to consider the technology in these cars, if you consider all the features the polo is still well priced, strip away the extras and you’ll see that it isn’t expensive
@@Cibu_Jay doesn’t matter. R400k to R500k for a Polo is still mad. For half a million, you still get into pre-loved Polo GTI or even a Golf GTI. No matter how much you try to justify it, new car prices in South Africa are absolutely terrible.
@@lindilebangose7667 insurers pump up prices based on a number of factors, not just a car. What if I told you a Polo GTI’s comprehensive insurance is R1.3k with an excess waiver included? Would you believe it?
@@KgosiMotlhabi it’s Inflation unfortunately it cannot be helped, cars are more expensive in general all over the world
My point is that for the same amount a polo is still worth the price relative to the cars in the same range, a polo has grown and matured, it no longer a cheap car but a mid market car
I think VW are trying to break into the upper middle class segment
Low mileage, 2nd hand market is the way to go. In this economy, brand new German cars are far too expensive
Yah neh this car has increased big step, if you're buying it as a new car adding option extras, in my own personal view would rather get 2nd hand low mileage. Or Get base model Polo Tsi could save a lot of money
these polo TSI are now getting expensive ey
R2000 for insurance? Does that come with a bottle of something and a 24-pack of beer? No wonder these guys keep bothering us for beer... they spent it all on insuring expensive cars.
😂😂
Bs, I pay R800
The polo is very fuel efficient, I was once doing 90 km/h on a stretch of about 150 km or so on a freeway, I was averaging UNDER 4l/100km with one passenger and our luggage. It means if I kept going I could get well over a 1000km on one tank, but then I decided I wanna quickly get to where I'm going and it went up to 4.9l/100km which is also really good. In town it's about 5.6l/100km.
But the price you pay is too much, even with paying less for fuel it's still too much. You can get a nice 3 year old 318i with about 60 000 km for that price. The polo is a small car and just not worth that high price (I bought mine 2nd hand and am happy with it)
That's Honda Fit HYBRID efficiency level!
@@mziwendukuntsele671 It's a very fuel efficient car, even at high speeds it's still efficient compared to other equivalent cars
this car is at 10.7/100KM
@@EthanDavids I noticed. I suspect he left it idling for some time. That number will go up. In reality on the road you'll never get that number.
In the morning I usually idle for about 30 seconds as I prepare to start driving (seat belt and connecting Bluetooth etc) and for the first 2 minutes or so of driving it'll be at around 9 l/100km. But 20 minutes later when I get to work it'll be around 5.1 l/100km
@atenkosidebruin4442 Same here, it's a fuel efficient car and very I'm happy with it.
Unfortunately the price brand new is just too high
Great video just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for the sub!
Hey man, big ups on your review.
Thank you much appreciated 🙏🏾
Happy New year Nick, lets check competition 😉 ridiculously expensive Rio (Discontinued) which i feel it looks better. We are looking at R330k base R390k top spec. I think Kia could have utilized this Rio by dropping prices to R330K t/s(My Choice). Then the I20 which i Hate its Interior "Dash" on the BC3 model i would go with GB model on used car market and get it for R255K with 22K kilos. Then we have RENAULT CLIO V 1.0L TURBO INTENS for R368k top spec 😢 my second personal option. I mean Nick VW has overpriced this Polo R460K with that money i can get 2024 Haval H6 Premium Auto for R410k or Mahindra XUV 700 AX5 Auto for R430K or 2024 Chery Tiggo 7 pro Executive for R450K. I can still get 2022 Audi A3 Sportback 35TFSI 25k kilos for R460k 😢 or 2021 Golf 7 Comfortline Auto with 35K kilos for R458k. I can go on till Jesus comes. My point is Polo TSI is madly overpriced 😢😢😢 by the way i hate that strip light on the grill 😢. And i work at one of the big VW dealships in Pta i thought i should put it out there 😂😂😂😂
You left me speechless with the last line, but I hear you wholeheartedly with how expensive this Polo is and I have to agree with you. There's so many other options one could look at.
460k for a polo . NEVER. will get it at a auction for 300 or less. it will never make sense for a small hatch to be almost half a mil
Hozit Chief I drive the car, just want to find out how to make those IQ lights dance like that no 🙏🏽
I drive 2018 Opel Cora’s sport 110kW and 220nm. Polo is nice and comfortable but my Opel is fun to drive. I wish to sit in the polo and drive my Opel
same here
It's probably the best small hatchback but hard to recommend at that price point. I would rather buy a second hand 7.5 1.4 TSI
Hi love your videos. Would love if you could review the toyota corolla cross.
When Toyota South Africa gives me the opportunity to do so I will ;-)
nice review, great car but the price is a bit steep but having said that if i think its expensive it simply means im not the target market
Is there no difference between the 2024 than the 2023 version?
I own this car sometimes yhe turbo lags from gear 2
I'd choose to spend my money on a Renault Clio intens honestly. Plus this year they are planning to release the 2024 facelifted one. Hopefully, it has an automatic/ gear 6
I’m lowkey waiting for an automatic one too - probably a sunroof will be there too
Forget 😢 about the sunroof maybe auto yes but sunroof on a clio Forget
@@thabosaint1668 when I spoke to the dealership they said the auto would push the price over 400k and that will not be a good thing for them, that’s why they don’t have it in SA. Sunroof on a Renault?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 never thst
I chose clio 4 over vivo cos wow renault is rich in specs, nd was affordable and i never regreted havin it
Now im definitely upgrading to clio 5
i was looking at the clean one no extras and i liked it, i would go for polo just trying to find more Infor on VW easy finance.... Hyundai i20 second option... OR just a 2018/20 golf il WILL see, good content, new subscribe....
Thanks for the sub!
I am considering an auto credit with a balloon payment can it be cheaper? Also I am considering i20 aswell
@@x.kasiouris5503 Yes it would be cheaper but as long you understand ballon deals and you are prepaid for it, that's all good ey... Remember Polos do fold their values better than man cars and far better than I20 (may come in hand when selling the car)...
At this point they should just remove the polo cause it's getting ridiculous
I'd go for Haval Jolion or lux preowned
Or OMODA C5 GT
5:15 - looks like you're driving a left-hand drive version. Consider changing your phone's front camera mirror effect settings. Alternatively, you can "invert" the video during editing so that the final product is cohesive. Just my R2.00 worth, use it, don't use it's up to you.
However, thank you for the insight into this new Polo . Is leather seating an option on all variants?
Leather is only available for the polo GTi, the rest don't get it, it's not even an option
No ways.. i rather save up and get my self a Mazda 3 Astina
Happy new year🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊
Happy New Year Mbali ;-)
I HAD POLO HIGHLINE DIESAL CAR MY DREAM TO BUY THIS NEW POLO CAR SOON IN INDIA
I'll just get a pre-owned taigo r line
Nice content bro
🤝
I wouldnt spend that much for a polo rather get a mini suv for that price or a used golf 7.5 . Vehicle is great but is expensive they should reconsinder their prices.
Why? It's sells quite well. It's "macbook air of cars" :)
Never 12blocks a month on Polo noways😢😢
Lmao
Buy a bmw 3 series 2019
I'd get a used tiguan or dmax double cab
DMAX!
For 460k? How used is this tiguan ?
Hi
I think for starters, it's an expensive car,especially with our economic situation in Mzansi.🙆♂️
I would buy a 7.5 gti
Rather get a top spec Toyota urban cruiser 2023/24 less than R380k it's not worth spending such amount for a high risk car with less ground clearance.
What do u think of this car for longterm ownership, like up to 250000km. DSG. Will it work?
I honestly don’t know hey. I don’t want to lie to you
Ahhh never, I'd rather get me one of the Chinese SUV or even a Kia Rio 😊
For that money, I would buy a low mileage polo GTi. The trick is not going for brand new, they are ridiculously expensive.
Good looking car but the cost of ownership is too steep. Very expensive. With that amount I can get a Ford ranger XL
Never I can't spend around 11K just for Polo
i would probably get suzuki baleno or just a demo polo at the nearest dealership
Share the same sentiments
add 2k and get GTi tbh, else get something much cheaper(around 6k- whatever that car is
Something like what? And which Gti? Polo or golf ?
It's not worth that kind of price tag. I was paying a R10 000.00 for a full house Isuzu double cab XRider.
I am never spending that much.... NEVER!
10k? Aint no way.
I would rather spend 460k on the r line version of the polo life
You can definitely get a demo with all these extras for less than R400k.. This car is really a dream to drive and is a perfect all-rounder.
Maybe tell me if I'm wrong but I think the new gen Polo's are taking over the Golf segment since we only have the 8 R and 8 GTI, so it kinda makes sense why VW would price it like a Golf.
The Vivo is competing with the Swifts and all, and even tho they don't match up, it's the people's car. Everyone wants a VW. 🙂
the price of this car gives me high blood, and i know buying a new car is better than a used one but lets be real the new VWs arent more reliable BMWs, when you can get a
OLD CAR TAIL LIGHT LOOKS TOO GOOD THAN THIS NEW TAIL LIGHT
No
I'd rather buy an SUV
😂😂😂 if it was 85kw dsg. 70kw is a no
Too much cheese for polo
Long term review = 1 month... Ay bandla
I guess it is long term as they normally get press cars for 3-5 days
You're smart Rorisang.
I wuld rather buy a bmw 2019 120d shadow edition for R350 000 than this polo its over priced joh
Rather get a polo GTI with 30% balloon and you will pay around the same money as this polo life. refinance the balloon for 24 months at the end of the term or trade it in, it will close the balloon if kept in good condition. The polo GTI is a much more fun car, way better car which makes the 30% balloon worth it.
Its not worth it, clio 5 is the best high spec u still pay less ya u will lose only iq lights and panoramic sunroof
