    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❤

    Those LED headlights are an R11,650 optional extra so a baleno glx or starlet xr is much better value

    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.

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.
