VW Polo GTI - Pure SOUND (+Launch Control)
Here is the sound of my stock exhaust on my 2020 Volkswagen Polo GTI, delivering 200 hp and 320 Nm of torque out of a 2.0 TSI (total weight: 1.355 kg). I think it sounds amazing even compared to the new Golf GTI and Golf R. The Polo GTI really pulls from stand still, around 6 seconds 0-60mph or 100kph. I truly love this car and the stock exhaust! Do I do a modification on it though?😁

Toyota Land Cruiser - The best Truck!?
มุมมอง 6919 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
A review on the Toyota Land Cruiser, could this be the best truck money can buy? I go over the exterior, interior, engine and more in this video. This truck was made to be used on a farm, this then being the best way to test and review it.

Range Rover Sport SVR - Highest Spec!🔥
มุมมอง 678หลายเดือนก่อน
This Range Rover SVR could be the highest spec on the road, it is so aggressive yet refined and luxurious. Let's not neglect the fact that it is arguably the best sounding SUV! A big thanks to the team at Xquisite Auto Umhlanga for the opportunity to review this car.

Chaos!! 🤣🔥🙌
Sucka that my car doesn't have pops and bangs like yours 😢
I’m sorry bro 😭 I wonder why they did that! Just get a downpipe? 🙌
@fueledlife3788 Its that stupid emissions nonsense from the EU. Not even a downpipe can make it pop and crackle like yours. All cars from 2020 model year onwards have this "updated" software. You should be careful if you are servicing through VW because they have been applying this update without owners permission.
@@carcrazyguysa4059 no ways! 🤯 well thanks for letting me know. That sucks!
Lovely! Serious microphone equipment and a beautiful 2 litre makes for a fantastic experience
You legend! Thank you Mike!🙌😃🔥
Just do a downpipe. Its loud enough
Which downpipe would you suggest?
@@fueledlife3788 76mm Stainless steel downpipe. Manufacturers dont make a difference since its just a piece of steel. I currently have a Rouge performance downpipe.
@@sureshannaidoo103 and is it noticeable better for you?
@@fueledlife3788 much better than stock. Also mine is the opf version. It was very silent compared to yours
@@sureshannaidoo103 epic! Thanks for sharing, I’ll look into it! 🙌
beautiful sounding car!
It’s my favourite sound! I’ve always loved the DSG 😍
@@fueledlife3788 Well, an A200 amg with acropovic exhausts may trump the Polo 😏
@MattLoui oh yes! 🤣let’s hear it!
Eish i love that car man
One day!! Don’t stop believing and working 🙌🔥

Keep pushing! Nothing is impossible
I'd say 5k
Im glad, I discovered your content. . Your flipping awesome bro keep pushing out the content 🎉
Wow!! You’re too kind! Thank you so much bro! I appreciate the support 🙏
Coopers are rubbish tyres.
Why is that?
No one cares about your stupid unreliable car.
Hope your channel grows mate, can see the passion and love you have for this. Congratulations on reaching the 1k subs and hope you reach the 4k watch hours soon👊🏾
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your message! 🙏 I’ll keep pushing 💪
Jeez, well done! That drone shot close to the end was magical 😮
Thank you so much!! 🙏🙌🥳
I think it costs R5500
Brooo u awesome 😝😝😝 I need those products 🤣
Where do you get these products
I ordered them online 🙌
Vacuum?
This was just an exterior video, I might have to do an interior 😅
Short and understandable ❤
Wow great well produced video 👌🏻💪🏼subscribed👍🏼
Appreciate it! Thank you!🙏 I’ll hit you up if I’m ever in the Cape 🙌
Mine is very good on fuel😅😅 Averages 15-17km/L but its pre-opf
In my opinion , people should buy an expense ( yes expense ) like this ONLY if they have atleast double the value of the vehicle in appreciating assets/investments. But at the end of the day, there's a VW salesman somewhere hoping a young guy with bad financial skills seeking external validation walks through that dealership door.
My car needs some of those products 😂
Bring it to Durban!🤪🙌🤣
😱 Totally didn’t expect it to be that expensive. How long will the products last?
They will last me about a year 🙌
@@fueledlife3788 Would you pay a detailer R2600 to detail your car the way you did?
Polo Gti.
Financing a vehicle… That’s your first mistake. If you can’t buy a car cash don’t buy the car at all folks.
Wow that is insane especially for what is supposed to be a economy car slightly warmer over. This is why I stick to used Japanese cars that have already taken a big depreciation hit. For that same annual amount you could have an older tuned mk1 for fun drives and then something like a used Honda Jazz for everything else. Thanks for the breakdown it absolutely proves what a waste of money cars can be.
They really can be 🥴
Geez i wish i earned 14k lol
You will get there bro! Don’t give up 🙏💪
Leak the address 🙏🏻
What? 🤣
Have owned my Mk7 golf GTI for just over 10 years. Maintenance and service plan for first 100k. My rough calculation for owning the car over this time - R640k (including tires & insurance). Include petrol and it’s easily R1m
That’s insane! 🤯the things we do for our love for cars! 😅
My brother how do you get that fuel economy. I cant get more than 300km on a tank and then I fill up 40l
It may be because I’m in Durban and often on long roads. We don’t have the traffic like Cape Town and Joburg 😅
2024 AW GTI owner here. Do you also have rattles in the rear doorcards if music is played loud? Considering sound deadning and some Audison/Hertz/Focal replacement speakers front and rear. Beats option not spec-ed. Thank goodness
Hey! I haven’t noticed any in mine 😓 I’ll take note today and get back to you but I don’t think so.
yooooooooooooooooooooo
🤣🙌
Hi as hol bay you self n VW Up , and get a real job!
We need more of this,love it.
Come on!!🙌🥳
Why you gotta buy old, and spend more on fuel. #V8 lol P.s Crying actually, when you get 500km out of 100lt of petrol
Great video and thorough breakdown, seems a lot but if you compare to other cars it isn't all that bad, note your resale value will be excellent on this car.
Thank you 🙏 I hope so 😅
Yo what insurance broker are u using ? If u don't mind me asking
Happy to link you up! If you DM me on Instagram I can get him to contact you.
An insurance rate of more than 20% on this vehicle is mostly likely due to the business's prior claim history, but you most def do not have the full info here to justify a R10k premium per month. That said, although insurance on a Land-Cruiser, and most commercial Toyota's are expensive, one should not forget that these vehicles are the ones that are stolen most often. One should also not forget that parts on these vehicles don't come cheap, as you have heard ito service and tyre costs. Most insurers will require Tracking devices, and some might require 2 in area's most prone to vehicle theft. I also dont believe that you would be able to correctly insure this vehicle for only a R1000 per month, it just does not sound right, especially because no one owns these vehicles in their stock standard format and the costs of extra's are always to be taken into account, etc. None the less, was great to be reminded that even though most guys want one, every terrorist also wants one...
Very helpful and you are 100% right. Insurance is a very complicated one as it involves so many factors. Important to weigh up any car and total costs.
Something wrong with the insurance premium. I am a broker and just insured a new 4.5 Land Cruiser with 200k extras for R2400 on a business policy for a client this week…
@@ivanortmann7511 maybe the amount I was given is for the year and not monthly? 🤔
@@fueledlife3788 could be if it’s quite old. Even the new vx 300 cruisers at over 2 million are still under R4500 per month.
@@ivanortmann7511 it must be a year then! My bad 😅that was the figure ie as given.
Is the insurance so high because of the Toyota’s being stolen?
I am not sure, that was the figure I got. I think it is insured for all farm workers and extras. 🤔
Great content bro. You've earned a new subscriber, danko💯
Danko!! Appreciate it bro! 🙏
I believe all the financials you have quoted. I once told my father that i want to buy a land cruiser and he simply said the cost of having this car is simply astronomical and a ''financial suicide''.
Depends on the Land Cruiser, aside from astronomical fuel costs the rest of my 100 series costs are in line with an old BMW 3 series, Discovery 2 or similar older cars. Then again mine is a 1998 model. Thing is you will need to pay to maintain it, e.g., I replaced my clutch because it was 411000km old. Also replaced my radiator because it was leaking. Big issue is that it's a 26 year old car
Bro you a real one! Straight to the point. Giving real and actual numbers that are personal. Such an amazing Channel! Instant sub!!
Thank you for the feedback!! Appreciate you subscribing! 🙏
Bro 👊🏾 love the video . Keep it up!!!!!
Thank you so much!! 🙏🙌
Who ever is servicing your LC is ripping you off. Normal filters and oil at dealers- R 3.5k If he service include the axle service then it’s R8.5k.
They get it serviced so I’ll have to check with the owner 😅
The thing about a car like this (by this I mean old Jeeps or Land Rovers or Toyotas or Nissans) is that you’ll more than likely be able to find specialist mechanics outside of dealerships that can do servicing at reasonable prices, that was my experience with my Discovery 4 and 100 series Land Cruiser
Thank you sir for highlighting the absurd aspects of owning this bucket of sh1t!. But hey, there are enlightened people out there that use this vehicle for commuting......I can only laugh!
It’s ridiculous! Great on the farm but I don’t get the logic of owning this in the city 🤣
Relax snowflake. Land Cruiser is obviously not for you. What’s it to you if people use this as a daily? Their money their choice.
opinion's are like assholes....even you have one
Outside of the insurance cost, all the other costs are reasonable. Then again I drive a 1998 105 Land Cruiser, my range is about 60% of yours on a 141L combined tank capacity
Reasonable for that kind of car - it’s in leagues with a Nissan Patrol and similar model Jeeps or Fords
Geez! That’s crazy. 😅 not sure how you live with that.
That’s not a bad tire price, my 33s on my 100 series are ~R 10k each…
Geez! That is wild 🤯
It is. To be honest it’s not a common tire here in South Africa and they were on the car when o bought the car. I’d be keen on Yokohama geolanders or GT AT3s when I get new tires, those are way more reasonable in terms of pricing
Even in Prado...the fuel is insanely expensive...n u get shorter range🤔
It is crazy!!
