I brought this as my first car as I fell in love with it after watching TH-cam reviews and I’m certainly not disappointed, a cracking little hatchback, perfect for about town, shopping , running kids to school or to and from work. Great little runner, so easy to drive and being a VW everything is practical and works as expected. The boot isn’t the biggest and 3 in the back is a squeeze but that’s fairly standard for this type of vehicle.
In India this was called the Polo GT TSI. It was marketed as a luxurious high-performance hatchback, and the 1.2 TSI never came with an MT here. There was only the 7-speed DSG.
Hello, glad the car is going well. Looking for one for my 18 year old son. I was a bit worried about buying the DSG due to it being expensive to replace. Any mechanical issues?
Hey guys! I am thinking of getting this as my first car with a DSG Gearbox but not sure whether that would be the right choice as I have heard that the DSG Gearbox doesn't last long? HELP Please!!!
My mum has the Golf GTI with a DSG gearbox and it seems to be alright, very quick and smooth may I add too. I recently bought the 2017 polo match edition manual and that is totally fine too. My guess is that the gear box is totally fine as VW make some real good and sound cars so you should be fine.
I think it would be a great choice! Despite what the criticisms are about the DSG, it should be pretty reliable for the current models and the shifts are nice. Also with the DSG, fuel efficiency is great. That being said, if you're looking at a new Polo, why not wait for the 2018 model that is I think going to be unveiled sometime this month.
Ah. Fair enough. That being said, since the new Polo came out just yesterday, I think I still prefer the current model's looks. Haha. Enjoy your car shopping, and let me know how it goes!
@@alexlovesmac Paul axford is correct. This vehicle has 16valves, the 1.2 liter tsi engine was revised after 2014 and it was completely changed. This model is the 6c (facelifted) available between 2014-2018 and not the 6r version of the mk5 polo that was available between 2009-2014. You had better be more modest and check better before you reject what other say sir , you are not so special after all.

Very thorough and informative video. Thanks for this!
I have the same version in same colour and love it.
I know I'm kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Stetson Trent I would suggest flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Caiden Grant definitely, I have been watching on flixzone for since april myself :)
@Caiden Grant thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!!
@Stetson Trent no problem xD
lovely car dont know if I get the polo or fiesta as my second car
michael liang I don't know whether to get a polo or fiesta as my first! Decisions decisions
I'm getting the exact same polo as in the video for my first car.
Maximum Joy its been a while now, how satisfied are you with it? Ive been struggling to choose between a polo or a fiesta for my 2nd car too :x
@@VelkroWorks did u end up getting a polo or fiesta or did you get another car?
@0:18, is this a driving lesson?
Hi Alex, does the indicator control also work when you only press push it a bit? Usually it works for 3sec and then stops. Correct?
Yes, old comment but it does
I’m buying one exactly the one you are showing. Is it a good car 2016 auto
How was it?
@@christianco905 absolutely pleasure. I bought 1.2 Semi Auto TSI . Very quick nippy good car 🚘
@@Skyflyers Now I feel relieved with all the good reviews. I will be buying one soon. 😊

Quality review!
Is this your new video format or did you not have much time with this one?
I do this format for cars that I've already covered in my new format, but has a difference in spec than the original car that I filmed.
Would it be possible to do the vw up, peugeot 108, Citroen c1 or Toyota auto at any point?

Really? You put the key in the ignition and turn it to start the car? I had no idea!
Can you do a video on Perodua Bezza Advance?
can you drive some of the cars instead of just sitting in the drivers seat
I only do test drives when possible.
could you do a video on the 2002-2008 ford fiesta? 😊

Hi, how use automatic polo?
i am thinking of bying this dsg version . would you recommend this ?

alexlovesmac thanks for your advice, but i prefer buzing a second hand model from 2016 and not the new one

It produces 90 bhp
89hp or 90PS.
90 is the PS figure. BHP is 89.
This engine has DOHC, otherwise good description about the car 👍
This car has 3 or 4 cylinders?
4
Is it 3 cylinder or 4 cylinder?
3 cylinder
@@sethubooysen6023 Nope, 4 cylinder
Is this CKD or CBU unit?
This video was filmed in the UK.
albert Polo in Indonesia CBU from Indonesia
from India.Polo in Indonesia CKD 2011 until 2015.Since 2015 in GIIAS 2015 Polo facelift CBU from India
I think you'll find this is 16 valve not 8.
Paul Axford Nope. As far as I know, the 1.2 TSI I4 engine has 2 valves per cylinder for a total of 8 valves.

Yeah, this one model "bluemotion 1.2 tsi" has 4 cylinders and 16 valves. I know it cause I own this car too. So George K. is right at all ;)
