@@CarsWithJB I had a fiesta for half a year. Paid 800 for it and had nothing but problems. I love what you've done with your polo, I kind of wish I had one. I've got a Toyota Yaris now though.

Hey I found your review quite good actually! :) Wasn't one of those really dry ones that just list stats and facts. It was actually funny and entertaining to watch. Well done mate! :D
Great video once again mate. It's actually refreshing to see car ownership reviews for people that have owned their car like a normal person for more than a year. Too many youtubers have their car for 6 months and it's gone. Love the Polo project as you know so I hope you keep that up. I also hope you keep the car should you decide to buy another at some point. Having a project car could be fun further down the line. Engine swap project perhaps 😁👌🏻
Thanks as always Alex! Yeah I understand the allure for RUclipsrs constantly changing their cars to keep things fresh etc, but I feel like if you get a car you really like you'll keep it for a while surely... 🤷🏽♂️ (also I live in a constant state of not knowing what car I want next!) I'll definitely keep the Polo, I have a plan for the ultimate 9n project that I really want to enact, but I'll definitely need a new car before I can get on with that... we'll re-evaluate later this year 🤙🏽
I love these videos so much. As a guy that owned a Pegueot 206 2011 as a first car, I loved the fact it could do so much for what it was. It took me on quite long distances from home to places, it had enough boot space for stuff I needed to carry and I could fit 4 additional people inside quite tightly but they would enter nontheless. The fuel economy wasn't bad either altho not so good for the car it size (it was a 1.4 with 74HP which is absurd amount of HP for an engine that size) but it didn't felt slow like the manufactor claimed. All in all I was happy owning it for a year but if I knew in a year from then I would have the oppurtunity to buy a 2017 Renault Clio 0.9TCe for a good price, I wouldn't even bother buying that Peugeot in the first place cause it did quite cost me a lot to maintain altho it was surprisingly reliable for what it was. Nontheless even for the money I lost for it, im glad I had the oppurtunity to own a car like that just to get a feel of these European hatchbacks.
Negan the 1.2 tsi has quite a lot torque, most of it comes really early (178 nm @ 1400 rpms) so it doesn’t need more than 2.5k rpms to go pretty swiftly. It also gets REALLY good fuel consumption. All in all great engine!!
I had a VW Polo Twist 1.4 2004. Best first car. Fitted LED strips underneath. Awesome car. Deffo recommend. Lots of space for the ladies, if you catch my drift.
One tip.. when doing a 3point turn etc. Never turn the wheel if the car is not moving. Creates lots of tension on ur suspension parts and also kill ur tire profile. As soon as the car start rolling than turn the wheel all the way realy quikly. And also when u taking a 3 point turn, turn the wheel back just a little to make the wheels straight,right before u kiss the sidewalk or side of the road. This way ur turning cirkel will start sooner therefore smaller. And mayb a 3point turn can be a cool 2point turn. How i learned myself with my curent polo 9n3. Good review vid.
I love my VW polo 9n mines 2003 silver and she’s a beaut, I drive a Ford custom panel van every day and still love getting back into Polly my polo at the weekends
Absolutely! I paid 1000 for my car which is also a 9n and I love it after changing the alloys and seats. Btw, great vids mate, something I can i relate to in the uk
I have a 1.0 litre VW Up and honestly it is actually a decent car. 0-30 is very respectable (under 4/5 seconds). Handling is great and it is the perfect city car for me right now as it is cheap to run. It isn't as good on longer journeys and on motorways but what can you expect from a 1 litre.
Ah nice - I didn't like the Up! When it first came out but the GTI changed my mind! I can imagine it's not great on motorways; neither is the Polo really, though it's getting better with some of the mods
I have the 9n3 from my mum with 1.2l 70hp and I love that it is all blacked out from the factory without any chrome or silver trim parts. But I gotta say that the 9n3 seems like such a huge step up in terms of luxury compared to the 9n
Ah very nice - do you know which 9n3 it is? As in mines a 1.2 E, was wondering if yours might be a different model - because there are some 9ns with a little better interiors!
Interiors didn't change between the model years You just got a better interior trim level JB just got the baseline with almost nothing in terms of options sadly... The trim levels where Baseline, Comfortline, Trendline and best one whas Highline where electric mirrors, El. Windows, AC, better seats, zentral locking and other stuff where standard but you could ad much more stuff like a automatically operating rear mirror with rain sensor, automatic climate control, a charging port in the boot rear speakers, a CD changer under the passenger seat or even leather interior or an automatic gearbox (wich mine got Wenn I bought it... But that's a thing of the past because there is a 5speed now) And there where also special editions like the GOAL or the GT-Rocket, FUN and Cross(those where 9N and 9N3 "offroad" Versions), Blue Motion, Kricket, Cup Edition(basically a Performance GTI version with 30more HP and bigger front brakes and bigger bodykit)
@@tobiasvolk366 mine is the "Tour" special edition that was created in cooperation with TUI. But the steering wheel changed (even the base steering wheel) between the model years
What?? It’s been one year with my 9N as well! I couldn’t be happier with it and I’ve done a lot of work on it, because I wanted it to look sleek and clean (not “ricey”). It’s definitely a car to own and I’m super happy for it
Cars With JB - Tinted the windows, put white headlight bulbs, put some 16 inch BBS Montreal 2s (from a Golf MKIV), put some Bridgestone T005 (fully recommend them), changed the suspension to make the Polo a little lower and stable, replaced the ugly gear knob, removed the engine and model badges and fixed some A/C issues and that’s about it. Whenever I do something to it, it feels like a new car. The only things that I need to figure out are the seats and maybe the ugly peeling off steering wheel
Iv got a Polo 6R 2012 1.2 TSI (R-Line) and considering its only 105bhp its quite nippy. Only problem is iv heard people with these engines tend to get an engine rattle (timing chain) i had it but had it fixed now apart from that its done 83k miles (i travel a lot) its doing me proud
Really hoping for some advice, I’ve actually noted a couple cars you’ve put out on the channel. I’m looking for a really nice 2nd car, got up to 12k to spend that’s not a target but willing to spend that. Needs to hit a few criteria just wanted to see if you point out a couple cars 🙏🏽 - newish car so nothing really before 2011 but nothing to new that is devalued to fast - great dash - quick - offers smooth comfort driving - 4 door An example to go by would be an Audi A3 or even a Mercedes A Class but would be willing to buy a coupe or even possibly a Sport SUV. As always great video 👍🏽
Hmmm very good Q - how about a 1-series bimmer? You could get like a 2014-2016 118i model with under 30k on the clock for 12k! Or even a 3 series bimmer would go for that kind of money, like an E92 or E93! You could even go for a 2012 Jag XF with around 40k miles if you were willing to go down the saloon route - probably be the quickest of the bunch, but insurance etc might be a little pricey... if you were willing to go for a 2 door then you could go for a John Cooper Works with slightly more miles on it?
Cars With JB I actually already had a 1 series and 3 series on my list with the years to match 😂 along with a VW sirocco but appreciate you replying back maybe a future video 👀😉 keep it up though 👍🏽
Had one! '97 6n 1.6 with LPG. For 650€... For two great years! Only the rust got to be a problem in the end, but hey - 22 years until recently. In two years, I've spent twice as much money for fuel than the car was worth!
Brilliant review and the editing skills are really coming on a treat! I think my ’05 1.4 75hp 9n 0-60 is poor, but I don't care! It's as nippy as anything around town. Mines a second car as the wife has a big ’15 Kuga so I just need a little run-around to fling around. Love it. I'm right there on the Polo journey with ya! Only things I've done are upgraded sparks, filter and 2" catback race exhaust. Nice sound but not TOO noisy. I hate small engine cars with dustbin sized mufflers! *How did I forget the ARB!?! I've banged on about it enough!
Haha appreciate it as always man - I've been enjoying playing with the editing a little more where I can! How have the upgrades affected the car? The ARB is still to come - I want to do everything under the car at once; poly bushes and ARBs in one fell swoop!
Nice review man! I found your channel back when I still had a 9n like yours but in gray. Moved onto an mx5 now but I still love the 9n's and your content. Definitely get that cupholder sorted, they can be a bit expensive for a cupholder but they tend to break when people aren't careful so I'm sure you could do a tutorial on replacing that ;) keep up the great content!
Appreciate it my dude! Good to hear that you've moved on to bigger and better cars still haha, even if I do love the 9n. I'll consider it, maybe go down to a scrap yard and see if I can take one from a neglected 9n to save money!
@@CarsWithJB yeah definitely try scrapyards, if not they're about 60 quid off of OEM part websites. Don't forget to carbon fibre wrap it once you install it ;)
It was and still is a very reliable car, especially for its price... If you live in country or countryside where the roads are not so great, this is very good choice - it is robust as well... all in all, good car
One of two cars for something new has to be on up! GTI or something cheap and cool lupo 1.0 spend about £300 on good brakes and suspension will make it an awesome little track car 😊 good work on the review man looking forward to the next one 😊
Ah yes - I actually wasn't a fan of the Up! When it first came out, but the GTI definitely does it for me! The Lupo GTI is also a sick little car, and holding its value well as a lot of people love it. Thanks for the feedback/support!
@@CarsWithJB He made a great presentation about his father, businesses and cars. He parked his speedback Silverstone edition outside my office... Drew a pretty big crowd. Now I really desire a classic. Haha
I did think that, but it actually spins around the clip, so by supergluing it I would be screwing it up completely! My plan is to make brand new window rollers from aluminium anyway 🤙🏽
Im looking at buying an A3 1.9tdi. With black box its 250-280 a month which is not bad considering the car. Can get good examples around 1 grand and can get very nice ones around 1.5-2k. It handles well, it pulls well and I dont think I have to introduce the 1.9tdi haha. Good economy, good power, no dpf: perfection. It does sound like a traktor but I personally like diesel sound so... :D the 1.6 petrol isnt so bad either, even cheaper to insure but that is thirsty a bit but sounds nice. My mate drives one of them for quiet a long time now and its a bless. He bought it with 160k miles, needed a water pump and thats it, no issues since. Hes about to hit 200k and knowing the engine he will hit 400 and 500 easy as long as he changes the oil and uses good oil. Edit: oh yeah 280 doesnt sound cheap but considering Im turning 19 this summer, its very good.
@@CarsWithJB oh yeah and you know, if I want to upgrade, I can get the same car for 2k with the 3.2 V6, quattro and either manual or dsg with paddle shifters. Which for 2k is ridiculous value. One is available on autotrader for 1.6k right now, manual as well. Crazy. I really hope price stays that way so I can get one when I get into working in my qualification!
I’ve got the 1.2 TSI SEL Polo, nice nippy Little car, can’t really fault it, insurance(kinda, £1300 at 18 no black box), tax and mpg, all cheap, love it🤗
You ever thought about getting a de-wiper kit and maybe led side repeaters, smartens them up I little bit i think. Also with that carpet on the door trims you could wrap the in the tartan material to match your seats
All very good ideas - I'm thinking of reupholstering the whole interior in leather if it's affordable, in which case I'll get the door cards done too 🤙🏽
Cars With JB ah fair enough, leather looks pretty clean. I look forward to seeing your progress, have a 6n2 myself as a little project with a 1.0L so I feel your pain
Not a very blokie car, but as with all VW they are well built and really good to drive , great first car for younger drivers, i love VW had a Golf GT, now got a 15 plate Scirocco, great to drive, and is a sexy looker, nice first car review enjoyed it.
I feel your pain, was trying to do the same thing with my smart roadster. Middle of nowhere but all a sudden half of the planet decided they were going to bike and walk down that road. Also I agree with you, the Brabus Roadster would be what I’d go for if I could only have a 1.2 or less. Although I think they’re only a 0.7 rather than a 0.9, just tuned differently to the likes of a normal roadster like mine.
Review was good mate! I see you took the LED lights out of your car then? Man, 18 seconds really is slow, I cant believe youre paying similar insurance to me and im 20 years old with a car which is insurance group 30! TOPIC: You made a really good choice, I'd probably realistically choose the same as well tbh! Keeping with the tiny engine RWD theme you've started though, I'd throw in the Renault Twingo GT, puts out 108bhp and 0-60 sub 10. Realistically I'd choose the RS Twingo 133, but their engines are bigger than the 1.2L limit :(
Cheers - glad you think so! Yes actually they were ripped out my a passenger accidentally about a week into them being in the car, and I couldn't be bothered to fit them back! Honestly I'm getting shafted here - I will get that changed as soon as I get the chance; I've been faffing with it for too long. Yes the Brabus Roadster is the real deal, but a twingo GT is a fair choice too; and you can always aspire to the RS!
For under 1.2 or a 1.2, it probably would be a polo mk5 with the 1.2 tdi engine, but program a few things out and a stage 2 tune or a focus wagon with a 1.0 Ecoboost
Hello, I got same engine in my Fabia. When I was trying 0-60, I found out, that it's little bit better, when I don't use 4th gear before 60. With empty car it was around 16 seconds. It's basically same car :)
When I used 4th gear, my time was almost same. This engine have most of it's power between 3000 - 4000 thousand revs (good in city, or country roads), so it feels like it needs higher gear sooner, but it's better to go beyond it :D But it's not bad from this small, 54 hp engine. I watch your channel mainly because of your Polo :-) I like cheap and simple cars and like I said, my Fabia is almost the same car (only different design). My car only needs better wheels, because now I got 13' with 155 millimeters wide tires, so handling is not the best :D (I have base model called "Junior", it doesn't even have power steering :D ).
Good video but a burnout isnt a wheel spin, chuck it in reverse get up to like 20 then stick it in first with revs very high then pull the handbreak, that will definately do a burnout even a 1.2
Yeah I could have committed to the burnout and probably made something happen but ultimately didn't want to ruin the tyres in the end! Bit of a cop out by me!
Hi, finally got my first car. 2003 Polo 9N with round headlights! (1.4 75bhp). Car is in great machanical condition, but the interior needs some love. I was looking for a site to get genuine interior parts and thought you can help out. thanks in advance and sorry for my english :)
Ah very nice! I would say all the interior parts you need should come up on eBay, that's where I get my stuff - I wonder if maybe you could find some less tattered parts there?
Cars With JB @Cars With JB thanks man, very nice car btw, drives beautifly. What trim level you have? I have the "basic" level. and what are the differences between all the trim levels? thanks again :)
Just look on places like where is car recycling, sometimes u can get full interior for 100Eur if self removed from car. Also power windows and all modules for cheap oryginal OEM not china export
I have a volkswagen polo 9n3 2005 , its a very good car . It has 1.4 Tdi 81 hp , 4 doors , 134.000 km , but is having a lot of dents , and , has the check engine error . Soon i will sell it with 2000-3000 euros . Is the price to big for the car ? Under 1.2 i will buy a ford fiesta . And my dream car is a volkswagen transporter , 1.6 TDI biturbo , 200-300 hp .
For me it was £3100 to insure I bought mine from a friend for £250 so I've sold the polo made a nice profit actually but I'm saving up for deposit on 2018 1.5 golf se for the insurance I've been quoted as cheap as £1550 and that's with just me as new driver I haven't even checked with adding my mum yet as a additional driver, so look around at different or newer cars the price can be a big difference compared to these older cars
I have a 1.2L Polo 9n3, it's done 150,000 miles, never gone wrong, got it free from family friend. It has been my 'pointless polo project' for 2 years now.
Have you thought of upgrading your radio to a 2 din entertainment system with CarPlay and AndroidPlay? I've seen a few cheap ones on eBay that also come with a reverse camera for about £100 and am thinking of putting one in mine soon. It would be a nice upgrade over the stock radio so I don't need a Bluetooth dongle to play music from my phone
I could well do - I like my radio for now, but I have thought about making the car a little more tech forward in that sense! If I do change it I'll make a vid for sure
my wife has just been sent home from work due to the coronavirus; she is showing flu like symptoms and has been asked to self isolate... luckily she is driving home in her 1.2 polo 9N, so should be home just in time to see out the 7 day self isloation period...
my mom has a purple polo 9n for £695 but we paid £600 for it and its 5dr but its 4dr because one of the doors are broken, also were looking for another one of those folding cup holder
My youngest brother has one and the EPC keeps coming on every other day or so and it goes into limp mode. Still haven't found the cause . I drive a 1.3 Yaris from 2004 it's a nice little car..BUT you sit quite high so when you go around the corner you feel like you're either going to fall over or fall out of the chair. Also the mirrors sit high and have some convex on it so you have to move the mirrors about to park and when you think "oh I'm nice and close to the curb" you get out and go "oh I'm miles away from the curb damn you mirrors!"
That's so annoying - have you checked the codes yet to see whats up? Definitely feel that with the Yaris in terms of the height, my new seats dropped me a little lower into the car and it gave me far more feeling than the previous ones 🤙🏽 in terms of the wing mirrors, could you swap for ones that were a little flatter?
Yeah we've checked the codes and everything comes up so all we can do is clear it every time. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep my Yaris for more than a year yet but one of the things planned is changing the mirrors for more flatter ones.
A car 1.2 and under? Probably the 1.2 16V 80bhp Fiat Punto I used to own. Absolutely loved that car, kept up with my mates 1.6 Fiesta Zetec S and also beat my mates 1.4 Golf. Had it for around the same amount of time you've had your Polo. Ended up selling and purchasing a Fabia vRS.
odličen mali avto zelo lepo leži na cesti,ni divjak,a za šoferja ali 2 v vozilu čisto dober,primerna cena,mora pa biti redno servisiran-bi ga kupil,a moj je hyundai i 30.
The 1.2 polo 9N is so slow. My missus has one. Just before this video was put up she call me to say she on her way home from the shop.... still waiting now!
Recently bought a 03 Polo 1.2 E and I'm quite impressed. Got a bargain and really cheap to use. But question though. Is it normal to keep the key on to open the boot?
Great video ! I have a 1.2 Polo E , what's the difference between the 9N ? Also any recommendations on car seat covers , I see loads on eBay but dunno if they're just cheap and nasty ?
Mine's an E as well, if I understand your Q correctly then 9N is just the designation for the original MK4 Polo, then there are loads of different models within that (E, Twist, etc)! I haven't got any experience personally - I would probably try to buy some actual leather seat covers if they exist for the 9n, just in terms of wear and tear though!
@@CarsWithJB cheers for answering my question , mines the facelifted mk4 , it's my first car and I got it at 130k still going strong , only minor issue is the cam sensor is faulty so the engine light comes on now and again but apparently this is a common issue.
If I had to have a car 1.2L or less I think I’d go with the 1.0TSi Volkswagen UP! GTI, quote nippy with a 0-60 time Of about 8ish seconds (similar power to weight as the original Golf GTI too)
The cloth on the door cards are a common issue with 9n polos unfortunately, my passenger front one came almost right off the only thing holding it on was the handle and we've been trying to fix it this weekend and it's just a shit show but on the bright side mine lasted until about 200 000kms which is roughly 130 000 miles?
@@CarsWithJB Currently got an 07 1.4l facelift 9n polo, and I'm seriously eyeing up the mito as an upgrade now. I would think about the Ibiza but the sister's got one, so it kind of puts that out the shot for now.
Car with max of 1.2L is easy for me. Fiesta Ecoboost with the MR165 Mountune kit on it. Incidentally, that 0-60 time is almost identical to the 1/4 mile time of my old Peugeot 306 1.6 LX. That was such a great car...although not so much for the drag racing ☺ Not really the point of small hatches anyway though, can't lift off oversteer round a roundabout in an Aventador.
Ah that's actually a great shout - didn't consider tuned cars! I'd probably commit to the Brabus Roadster but with the Smartuki kit (GSX engine swap, looks ridiculous) - haha agreed (or lift off understeer in the Polo lol)
Even stock it's 138bhp, which is a bit mental for a 1 litre. I'm assuming we're discounting one-offs like the GSC-R equipped Brabus roadster. There's always the option of importing a tuned Daihatsu Copen or Honda S660 though. Not a cheap option, but the Liberty Walk Copen GT-R looks hilarious.
Glad you liked it! I feel like one of my strengths is presenting in person, but I'm yet to fully translate it to presenting to a camera - hopefully as I get more comfortable reviewing that will change 🤙🏽
If you paid 400 quid for it and it's lasted you a year its definitely worth it
Agreed - 19 months in fact, it's done very well!
@@CarsWithJB I had a fiesta for half a year. Paid 800 for it and had nothing but problems. I love what you've done with your polo, I kind of wish I had one. I've got a Toyota Yaris now though.

Agreed - I had that engine in the Skoda Fabia and it definitely made a difference!
I have a 1.0 litre VW Up and honestly it is actually a decent car. 0-30 is very respectable (under 4/5 seconds). Handling is great and it is the perfect city car for me right now as it is cheap to run. It isn't as good on longer journeys and on motorways but what can you expect from a 1 litre.
Ah nice - I didn't like the Up! When it first came out but the GTI changed my mind! I can imagine it's not great on motorways; neither is the Polo really, though it's getting better with some of the mods
I have the 9n3 from my mum with 1.2l 70hp and I love that it is all blacked out from the factory without any chrome or silver trim parts.
But I gotta say that the 9n3 seems like such a huge step up in terms of luxury compared to the 9n
Ah very nice - do you know which 9n3 it is? As in mines a 1.2 E, was wondering if yours might be a different model - because there are some 9ns with a little better interiors!
Interiors didn't change between the model years
You just got a better interior trim level
JB just got the baseline with almost nothing in terms of options sadly...
The trim levels where
Baseline, Comfortline, Trendline and best one whas Highline where electric mirrors, El. Windows, AC, better seats, zentral locking and other stuff where standard but you could ad much more stuff like a automatically operating rear mirror with rain sensor, automatic climate control, a charging port in the boot rear speakers, a CD changer under the passenger seat or even leather interior or an automatic gearbox (wich mine got Wenn I bought it... But that's a thing of the past because there is a 5speed now)
And there where also special editions like the GOAL or the GT-Rocket, FUN and Cross(those where 9N and 9N3 "offroad" Versions), Blue Motion, Kricket, Cup Edition(basically a Performance GTI version with 30more HP and bigger front brakes and bigger bodykit)
@@tobiasvolk366 mine is the "Tour" special edition that was created in cooperation with TUI.
But the steering wheel changed (even the base steering wheel) between the model years
@@t-bone9239 yeah right I forgot about that
From a 4spoke to a more sporty looking 3 spoke
You're lucky with the insurance, here in Ireland I pay €2500 for my first year on a Seat Ibiza 2007 1.2
It's rare that I agree we're lucky on insurance in England but when it compares to Ireland, I definitely do feel lucky!
What?? It’s been one year with my 9N as well! I couldn’t be happier with it and I’ve done a lot of work on it, because I wanted it to look sleek and clean (not “ricey”). It’s definitely a car to own and I’m super happy for it
Very nice - what have you done to yours? Hoping to keep mine looking generally standardish!
Cars With JB - Tinted the windows, put white headlight bulbs, put some 16 inch BBS Montreal 2s (from a Golf MKIV), put some Bridgestone T005 (fully recommend them), changed the suspension to make the Polo a little lower and stable, replaced the ugly gear knob, removed the engine and model badges and fixed some A/C issues and that’s about it. Whenever I do something to it, it feels like a new car. The only things that I need to figure out are the seats and maybe the ugly peeling off steering wheel
VW Polo 6r 1.2 TDi. Absolutely love it
Iv got a Polo 6R 2012 1.2 TSI (R-Line) and considering its only 105bhp its quite nippy. Only problem is iv heard people with these engines tend to get an engine rattle (timing chain) i had it but had it fixed now apart from that its done 83k miles (i travel a lot) its doing me proud
That's good to hear - my friend has a 6R too with the 1.4 engine and it's actually surprisingly quick!
Just got a 2008 Polo GTI. It’s pretty nice. Crazy how similar these cars are though
Very nice - congrats! A super cool car to own with a great engine.
Really hoping for some advice, I’ve actually noted a couple cars you’ve put out on the channel. I’m looking for a really nice 2nd car, got up to 12k to spend that’s not a target but willing to spend that. Needs to hit a few criteria just wanted to see if you point out a couple cars 🙏🏽
- newish car so nothing really before 2011 but nothing to new that is devalued to fast
- great dash
- quick
- offers smooth comfort driving
- 4 door
An example to go by would be an Audi A3 or even a Mercedes A Class but would be willing to buy a coupe or even possibly a Sport SUV.
As always great video 👍🏽
Maybe an Impreza
Hmmm very good Q - how about a 1-series bimmer? You could get like a 2014-2016 118i model with under 30k on the clock for 12k! Or even a 3 series bimmer would go for that kind of money, like an E92 or E93! You could even go for a 2012 Jag XF with around 40k miles if you were willing to go down the saloon route - probably be the quickest of the bunch, but insurance etc might be a little pricey... if you were willing to go for a 2 door then you could go for a John Cooper Works with slightly more miles on it?
Go for a mk7 golf
Bmw 1 series coupe. you can get a 2012 with under 40k miles for less than 10k
Cars With JB I actually already had a 1 series and 3 series on my list with the years to match 😂 along with a VW sirocco but appreciate you replying back maybe a future video 👀😉 keep it up though 👍🏽
Had one! '97 6n 1.6 with LPG. For 650€... For two great years! Only the rust got to be a problem in the end, but hey - 22 years until recently.
In two years, I've spent twice as much money for fuel than the car was worth!
Haha love that - so worth it! I've literally spent so much more on owning & modding the car than I did purchasing it haha, it's insane
Brilliant review and the editing skills are really coming on a treat! I think my ’05 1.4 75hp 9n 0-60 is poor, but I don't care! It's as nippy as anything around town. Mines a second car as the wife has a big ’15 Kuga so I just need a little run-around to fling around. Love it. I'm right there on the Polo journey with ya! Only things I've done are upgraded sparks, filter and 2" catback race exhaust. Nice sound but not TOO noisy. I hate small engine cars with dustbin sized mufflers! *How did I forget the ARB!?! I've banged on about it enough!
Haha appreciate it as always man - I've been enjoying playing with the editing a little more where I can! How have the upgrades affected the car? The ARB is still to come - I want to do everything under the car at once; poly bushes and ARBs in one fell swoop!
Thoroughly enjoyed the video and great quality too. Look forward to more in the future
Glad you liked it - hopefully now I can get a chance to drive a few other cars and build on my reviewing!
Ford Fiesta 1.0 T EcoBoost ST-Line for me
Yeah that's fair - with a good spec it would be super nice too 🤙🏽
Izuey_59_DCZ not bad cars! My instructor had one
Nice review man! I found your channel back when I still had a 9n like yours but in gray. Moved onto an mx5 now but I still love the 9n's and your content. Definitely get that cupholder sorted, they can be a bit expensive for a cupholder but they tend to break when people aren't careful so I'm sure you could do a tutorial on replacing that ;) keep up the great content!
Appreciate it my dude! Good to hear that you've moved on to bigger and better cars still haha, even if I do love the 9n. I'll consider it, maybe go down to a scrap yard and see if I can take one from a neglected 9n to save money!
@@CarsWithJB yeah definitely try scrapyards, if not they're about 60 quid off of OEM part websites. Don't forget to carbon fibre wrap it once you install it ;)
It was and still is a very reliable car, especially for its price... If you live in country or countryside where the roads are not so great, this is very good choice - it is robust as well... all in all, good car
90K miles on an 02 9n? Thats actually pretty decent for the age, fair play.
Yeah I got it at 77k and have put 10k on it so far!
Mines on 120k 😂 I'm waiting for it to blow up 🤦
@@hdwinter01 Mines pushing 115k I feel your pain!
Dodgy Polo Boi there’s a 1.4 9n with 170,000 miles On for sale by me😂
@@hdwinter01 If its been taken care of you will be waiting double that mileage for it to blow up.
One of two cars for something new has to be on up! GTI or something cheap and cool lupo 1.0 spend about £300 on good brakes and suspension will make it an awesome little track car 😊 good work on the review man looking forward to the next one 😊
Ah yes - I actually wasn't a fan of the Up! When it first came out, but the GTI definitely does it for me! The Lupo GTI is also a sick little car, and holding its value well as a lot of people love it. Thanks for the feedback/support!
Yeahh id love a lupo gti but if you get the 100bh 1.4 they are quick and half the price
1.2ltr or less... Hmmm. Well I met David Brown yesterday and was impressed with his remastered original mini's. So I would have one of them. Gorgeous.
Oh yes an original mini would bang - cool to meet David Brown!
@@CarsWithJB He made a great presentation about his father, businesses and cars. He parked his speedback Silverstone edition outside my office... Drew a pretty big crowd. Now I really desire a classic. Haha
Why don’t you superglue the window handle to roll it down if it keeps coming off
I did think that, but it actually spins around the clip, so by supergluing it I would be screwing it up completely! My plan is to make brand new window rollers from aluminium anyway 🤙🏽
Im looking at buying an A3 1.9tdi. With black box its 250-280 a month which is not bad considering the car. Can get good examples around 1 grand and can get very nice ones around 1.5-2k. It handles well, it pulls well and I dont think I have to introduce the 1.9tdi haha. Good economy, good power, no dpf: perfection. It does sound like a traktor but I personally like diesel sound so... :D the 1.6 petrol isnt so bad either, even cheaper to insure but that is thirsty a bit but sounds nice.
My mate drives one of them for quiet a long time now and its a bless. He bought it with 160k miles, needed a water pump and thats it, no issues since. Hes about to hit 200k and knowing the engine he will hit 400 and 500 easy as long as he changes the oil and uses good oil.
Edit: oh yeah 280 doesnt sound cheap but considering Im turning 19 this summer, its very good.
Thanks for the insight! Yeah I can imagine the diesel would have some serious torque, and with the fuel economy as well you'd be doing very well!
@@CarsWithJB oh yeah and you know, if I want to upgrade, I can get the same car for 2k with the 3.2 V6, quattro and either manual or dsg with paddle shifters. Which for 2k is ridiculous value. One is available on autotrader for 1.6k right now, manual as well. Crazy. I really hope price stays that way so I can get one when I get into working in my qualification!
I’ve got the 1.2 TSI SEL Polo, nice nippy
Little car, can’t really fault it, insurance(kinda, £1300 at 18 no
black box), tax and mpg, all cheap, love it🤗
JoRDyRaCeR10 no way! How do you not have a black box??
Niks :p not sure mate, it’s my second year driving so I do have NCD, my first year was £2400 on a 56 plate corsa with a black box😰
JoRDyRaCeR10 no way! That’s insane, what year polo do you drive?
Niks :p late 2014
JoRDyRaCeR10 damn, I have a 2011 Polo 1.4 and my insurance is £1400 with a black box. I’m 18 lmao
You ever thought about getting a de-wiper kit and maybe led side repeaters, smartens them up I little bit i think.
Also with that carpet on the door trims you could wrap the in the tartan material to match your seats
All very good ideas - I'm thinking of reupholstering the whole interior in leather if it's affordable, in which case I'll get the door cards done too 🤙🏽
Cars With JB ah fair enough, leather looks pretty clean. I look forward to seeing your progress, have a 6n2 myself as a little project with a 1.0L so I feel your pain
very nice review, really enjoyed watching it!
Glad you enjoyed - thanks for the feedback!
Suzuki Cappucino they are brilliant little motors
The 9n looks like a fun little car!
It's a great first car for sure!
Not a very blokie car, but as with all VW they are well built and really good to drive , great first car for younger drivers, i love VW had a Golf GT, now got a 15 plate Scirocco, great to drive, and is a sexy looker, nice first car review enjoyed it.
Yeah this is true - and agreed they do seem well built! Nice to hear you have a scirocco, I do love the shape, and glad you liked the review!
I’ve just bought an 03 1.4 Twist, I get it on Thursday, think I’m still looking forward to it 😳😂
I feel your pain, was trying to do the same thing with my smart roadster. Middle of nowhere but all a sudden half of the planet decided they were going to bike and walk down that road. Also I agree with you, the Brabus Roadster would be what I’d go for if I could only have a 1.2 or less. Although I think they’re only a 0.7 rather than a 0.9, just tuned differently to the likes of a normal roadster like mine.
Review was good mate! I see you took the LED lights out of your car then? Man, 18 seconds really is slow, I cant believe youre paying similar insurance to me and im 20 years old with a car which is insurance group 30!
TOPIC:
You made a really good choice, I'd probably realistically choose the same as well tbh! Keeping with the tiny engine RWD theme you've started though, I'd throw in the Renault Twingo GT, puts out 108bhp and 0-60 sub 10. Realistically I'd choose the RS Twingo 133, but their engines are bigger than the 1.2L limit :(
Cheers - glad you think so! Yes actually they were ripped out my a passenger accidentally about a week into them being in the car, and I couldn't be bothered to fit them back! Honestly I'm getting shafted here - I will get that changed as soon as I get the chance; I've been faffing with it for too long. Yes the Brabus Roadster is the real deal, but a twingo GT is a fair choice too; and you can always aspire to the RS!
Under 1.2l, that’d be a beetle from the 1960s or so. They’re slow, but cool.
Yeah fair shout - or maybe a classic Fiat 500/Mini Cooper 🤙🏽
Just sayin the old beetle has a 1.6
Depends
The type 1 has everything from a 1.1l to a 1.6l
Another great video mate, keep it up
Appreciate it! Hopefully more opportunities to review cars on the horizon
For under 1.2 or a 1.2, it probably would be a polo mk5 with the 1.2 tdi engine, but program a few things out and a stage 2 tune or a focus wagon with a 1.0 Ecoboost
Both very fair shouts!
@@CarsWithJB it might be funny but I thought that the 500 Abarth was a 1.2 instead of a 1.4 and that was my original choice
Hello, I got same engine in my Fabia. When I was trying 0-60, I found out, that it's little bit better, when I don't use 4th gear before 60. With empty car it was around 16 seconds. It's basically same car :)
Ah that'll be worth testing out, I know you can really drag out the gears - I can hit 70mph in 4th!
When I used 4th gear, my time was almost same. This engine have most of it's power between 3000 - 4000 thousand revs (good in city, or country roads), so it feels like it needs higher gear sooner, but it's better to go beyond it :D But it's not bad from this small, 54 hp engine. I watch your channel mainly because of your Polo :-) I like cheap and simple cars and like I said, my Fabia is almost the same car (only different design). My car only needs better wheels, because now I got 13' with 155 millimeters wide tires, so handling is not the best :D (I have base model called "Junior", it doesn't even have power steering :D ).
Good video but a burnout isnt a wheel spin, chuck it in reverse get up to like 20 then stick it in first with revs very high then pull the handbreak, that will definately do a burnout even a 1.2
Yeah I could have committed to the burnout and probably made something happen but ultimately didn't want to ruin the tyres in the end! Bit of a cop out by me!
@@CarsWithJB no I certainly don't blame you, not worth breaking the car either
Seats Ibiza fr (1.2L with a turbo)
Yeah strong shout for sure 🤙🏽
Hi, finally got my first car. 2003 Polo 9N with round headlights! (1.4 75bhp). Car is in great machanical condition, but the interior needs some love. I was looking for a site to get genuine interior parts and thought you can help out. thanks in advance and sorry for my english :)
Ah very nice! I would say all the interior parts you need should come up on eBay, that's where I get my stuff - I wonder if maybe you could find some less tattered parts there?
Cars With JB @Cars With JB thanks man, very nice car btw, drives beautifly. What trim level you have? I have the "basic" level. and what are the differences between all the trim levels? thanks again :)
Just look on places like where is car recycling, sometimes u can get full interior for 100Eur if self removed from car.
Also power windows and all modules for cheap oryginal OEM not china export
Renault sport twingo RR layout 0.9 turbo and I actually like how they look
Yeah that's a fair shout - I like the Twingo too funnily enough, particularly the RS!
10:48 Puts the Carrera GT to shame😂
Hahah V10 Polo swap?? 🤷🏽♂️
Cars With JB Don't think V10 will fit😂, I'm just thinking you should just straight up put a quad turbo setup and create a 1000bhp+ POLO😂
Hope that gets me on LivingLifeFast haha - " THIS 23YO BUILT A QUAD TURBO POLO 9N *1,000BHP*"
Good Video, Quirky and Characterful
I own the VW Polo 1.4 Match 9n3
I would consider the Toyota 1.0 vvt
I have a volkswagen polo 9n3 2005 , its a very good car . It has 1.4 Tdi 81 hp , 4 doors , 134.000 km , but is having a lot of dents , and , has the check engine error . Soon i will sell it with 2000-3000 euros . Is the price to big for the car ? Under 1.2 i will buy a ford fiesta . And my dream car is a volkswagen transporter , 1.6 TDI biturbo , 200-300 hp .
Fair enough - my 9n is covered in scratches & dents too man 👀
I have this car and i have looked everywhere online to see how much it'd be to insure for a new driver mine is a 1.4 petrol with 75,000 miles 2002
Between £1,400 and £1,700 I would assume!
For me it was £3100 to insure I bought mine from a friend for £250 so I've sold the polo made a nice profit actually but I'm saving up for deposit on 2018 1.5 golf se for the insurance I've been quoted as cheap as £1550 and that's with just me as new driver I haven't even checked with adding my mum yet as a additional driver, so look around at different or newer cars the price can be a big difference compared to these older cars
I have a 1.2L Polo 9n3, it's done 150,000 miles, never gone wrong, got it free from family friend. It has been my 'pointless polo project' for 2 years now.
You've done very well there getting it for free!
Have you thought of upgrading your radio to a 2 din entertainment system with CarPlay and AndroidPlay? I've seen a few cheap ones on eBay that also come with a reverse camera for about £100 and am thinking of putting one in mine soon. It would be a nice upgrade over the stock radio so I don't need a Bluetooth dongle to play music from my phone
I could well do - I like my radio for now, but I have thought about making the car a little more tech forward in that sense! If I do change it I'll make a vid for sure
my wife has just been sent home from work due to the coronavirus; she is showing flu like symptoms and has been asked to self isolate... luckily she is driving home in her 1.2 polo 9N, so should be home just in time to see out the 7 day self isloation period...
It wouldnt take a lot to renew those rusty screws in the front number plate, but it would def look better.
It's coming soon man haha - I'm just lazy!
I bought a 2003 1.2 12V Polo with 75,000Miles best purchase ever for £850
Skoda fabia 1.2 tsi, smashing now jb.......

my mom has a purple polo 9n for £695 but we paid £600 for it and its 5dr but its 4dr because one of the doors are broken, also were looking for another one of those folding cup holder
I need one of those cup holders too haha, procrastinating about it!
I forgot to also say that it came with sport alloys (i dunno why)
My youngest brother has one and the EPC keeps coming on every other day or so and it goes into limp mode. Still haven't found the cause .
I drive a 1.3 Yaris from 2004 it's a nice little car..BUT you sit quite high so when you go around the corner you feel like you're either going to fall over or fall out of the chair. Also the mirrors sit high and have some convex on it so you have to move the mirrors about to park and when you think "oh I'm nice and close to the curb" you get out and go "oh I'm miles away from the curb damn you mirrors!"
That's so annoying - have you checked the codes yet to see whats up? Definitely feel that with the Yaris in terms of the height, my new seats dropped me a little lower into the car and it gave me far more feeling than the previous ones 🤙🏽 in terms of the wing mirrors, could you swap for ones that were a little flatter?
Yeah we've checked the codes and everything comes up so all we can do is clear it every time.
I'm not sure if I'm going to keep my Yaris for more than a year yet but one of the things planned is changing the mirrors for more flatter ones.
Hi man love your vids,looking to get the same model polo for my first car when I pass my test,I think you should definitely tint the back windows man
Appreciate it man, let me know if/when you get one! I will hopefully be doing just that in the not-too-distant future...
Call me old fashioned but I still consider your car quite modern lol, cracking review BTW!
Haha so do I! Classics for me are basically 90s and back. Appreciate the continued support 🤙🏽
I'm not sure if the polo would look cooler with or without that vw badge on the trunk
I braught a £400 polo 9n same as yours just diver and it has electric windows but it needs some tlc
Also the top gear handbrake turn question. It never needs asking it's always a yes 😂😂😂

Very decent - where from?

A car 1.2 and under? Probably the 1.2 16V 80bhp Fiat Punto I used to own. Absolutely loved that car, kept up with my mates 1.6 Fiesta Zetec S and also beat my mates 1.4 Golf. Had it for around the same amount of time you've had your Polo. Ended up selling and purchasing a Fabia vRS.
Lol. Nice to see you left one of the seat bolts out and left it in the ashtray

The 1.2 polo 9N is so slow. My missus has one. Just before this video was put up she call me to say she on her way home from the shop.... still waiting now!
panic over.... shes just got back
Hey you mentioned that you paid £600 for insurance at the time, is it with black box or not ?
Without!
Recently bought a 03 Polo 1.2 E and I'm quite impressed. Got a bargain and really cheap to use. But question though. Is it normal to keep the key on to open the boot?
I would have the smart roadster if I had to have a car under 1.2.
Good choice - if have the Brabus!
Great video ! I have a 1.2 Polo E , what's the difference between the 9N ? Also any recommendations on car seat covers , I see loads on eBay but dunno if they're just cheap and nasty ?
Mine's an E as well, if I understand your Q correctly then 9N is just the designation for the original MK4 Polo, then there are loads of different models within that (E, Twist, etc)! I haven't got any experience personally - I would probably try to buy some actual leather seat covers if they exist for the 9n, just in terms of wear and tear though!
@@CarsWithJB cheers for answering my question , mines the facelifted mk4 , it's my first car and I got it at 130k still going strong , only minor issue is the cam sensor is faulty so the engine light comes on now and again but apparently this is a common issue.
Great vid JB :) . I have same Polo. I am planing some changes. Can you tell me what size are rims and tires on him ?
Appreciate it! So I think the rims are 16 inches, but I forget the size of the tyres... they're Toyo T1Rs if that helps 🤙🏽
@@CarsWithJB Ok, thanks :) JB
If I had to have a car 1.2L or less I think I’d go with the 1.0TSi Volkswagen UP! GTI, quote nippy with a 0-60 time
Of about 8ish seconds (similar power to weight as the original Golf GTI too)
A 1.2l rotary engine😉
Also great vid, really entertaining.
Haha we love to see it 🤷🏽♂️ appreciate it!
The cloth on the door cards are a common issue with 9n polos unfortunately, my passenger front one came almost right off the only thing holding it on was the handle and we've been trying to fix it this weekend and it's just a shit show but on the bright side mine lasted until about 200 000kms which is roughly 130 000 miles?
Yeah it does seem that way - I do really want to reupholster mine to leather or something like that!
I have a VW Polo 9n1 with 75 HP Highline
Audi A2 1,2l TDI. Definitely.
Fairdos - interesting choice!
Have a 1.2 Clio at the moment but id have to say an up! GTi. Or the new 0.9 tce Clio
The Up! GTI in particular would be a great shout, do like a clio too 🤙🏽
Sub 1.2l car, I'd go either for a fiesta ecoboost, a Seat Ibiza 1.2 TSI or maybe if insurance worked out well, I'd look at an Alfa mito
Yeah very fair - the MiTo is a great shout, my friend has one and it's super nice!
@@CarsWithJB Currently got an 07 1.4l facelift 9n polo, and I'm seriously eyeing up the mito as an upgrade now. I would think about the Ibiza but the sister's got one, so it kind of puts that out the shot for now.
You can get replacement cup holders
I really should but haven't bothered yet - I wouldn't use it anyway!
Can you do a review on vw polo 1.2L E 60 (2005-2009) for 17 year olds
Car with max of 1.2L is easy for me. Fiesta Ecoboost with the MR165 Mountune kit on it.
Incidentally, that 0-60 time is almost identical to the 1/4 mile time of my old Peugeot 306 1.6 LX. That was such a great car...although not so much for the drag racing ☺ Not really the point of small hatches anyway though, can't lift off oversteer round a roundabout in an Aventador.
Ah that's actually a great shout - didn't consider tuned cars! I'd probably commit to the Brabus Roadster but with the Smartuki kit (GSX engine swap, looks ridiculous) - haha agreed (or lift off understeer in the Polo lol)
Even stock it's 138bhp, which is a bit mental for a 1 litre. I'm assuming we're discounting one-offs like the GSC-R equipped Brabus roadster. There's always the option of importing a tuned Daihatsu Copen or Honda S660 though. Not a cheap option, but the Liberty Walk Copen GT-R looks hilarious.
1.2 l or under. I’d have a mr165 mountune package 1.0 ecoboost fiesta.
Yeah that's a very wise choice 🤙🏽
Have the exact ssme car and cup holder gone in mine when i git it too lol. Must be a common issue
I'd have a Ford Fiesta Ecoboost / ST Line
Yeah that's definitely a fair/popular choice!
@@CarsWithJB I'd say Vauxhall Corsa E 1.0 T but not to keen on Vauxhall
loved the video you seemed very nervous and a bit awkward ?
Glad you liked it! I feel like one of my strengths is presenting in person, but I'm yet to fully translate it to presenting to a camera - hopefully as I get more comfortable reviewing that will change 🤙🏽
