This is the first honest review I’ve seen of this car. Thank you for this. This car as specced is around R370k+ & for that you can get so many better new cars & even more amazing pre-owned cars namely the Cherry Tiggo 4, Suzuki Fronx & even a good condition current generation pre-owned Polo Tsi. It’s honestly too expensive for something that’s built locally. One day people will wake up & realize that VW has been taking them for a ride here.
R356k … and the floor mats are still not standard. You have to buy the car for that amount of money, and still pay for the floor mats, and then there aren’t any electric mirrors and no electric rear windows. R356k? And they cry foul when the Chinese come here to obliterate them. VW is disrespecting us.
This car had LED headlights and DRL's so add another R11850. You didn't mention it but if it had the storage package then add another R2600. And lastly if it had the rear camera and pdc add another R6400. Total cost R376850. Way better value for money elsewhere
I enjoyed my Vivo GT more than you can imagine. Still miss it. There is just so much fun to this vehicle. I think the engine blasts the price sky high, but then again, none of the competitors have a turbo engine that delivers like this one. Those boring gutless 1.2 N/A engines are really as exciting to drive as kissing your sister. This is a car for drivers that enjoy performance. Go check any turbo car of this size. It will be expensive. But no-one complains about that part.
I was in an accident a week ago. A drunk driver drove into the back of me with a huge speed. I had a Suzuki Baleno. My seat broke and I landed on the back seat with head injuries and almost broke my neck. The car is written off. I am buying a Polo because of the safety of the car. Please don't look at all the bells and whistles when buying a car. Safety always comes first.
yo Kumbi good review bro i look up to you , you dont glaze these well kwown companies if they produce bad products, love it bro keep it up👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙂↕️🔥🙏🏿
A whole 71k difference between this and the GLX Swift??? kohlwa. Overratted, over priced and still a high risk in car thefts. I know you have to compare apples for apples but 356k for this when I can get a Fronx, for far less?? Great review man, thank you.
Let just say I place an order for one of these, and my special request be like: a) Add GT decales like the 2018 to 2022 model. b) Remove the black roof and add black rear spoiler like its predecessor. Will that be possible on this new model??
Even though it is expensive I'd still buy it😊,for the looks🔥 and the way it drivers💯. Either way I will only adjust my mirror once,as long as I have electric windows in the front I'm okay with it.
Do people go to the dealership and say they are looking a car with more than one USB port???. there is excessive focus on superficial things on cars by reviewers
I don’t think it’s superficial. We live in the era, what happens when you have kids in the car, other passengers and they want to charge? This then means sacrificing the connected App connect so that someone charges etc. USB ports are a need.
Devil's advocate here: Is there a thief out there who can say, okay I'm done with stealing Polos now or they must keep on so that can stop spending so much ?
Then they take it in less than a year the street owners. Rather buy Fronx GLX full spec MT..it's overated price for a car made here in S.A. Hence these cars are plenty in repossess auctions because people go for looks rather than pricing. I love Polo GT but no to the price and spec of the car for 2024 model . 😂😂😂
@@Bongani_Charts You need turbo power to maintain 120 km/h on a freeway, especially when going uphill and to efficiently overtake , particularly trucks. Try these two with your preferred Suzuki and judge for yourself.
True. the car is overpriced given the amenities it offers. No wonder the Chinese are taking the local market by storm. Most of the traditional car brands are sting with convenient features-and too pricey when these are offered!

Thank you for that take, and for watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽
And you’re going pay a lot for insurance because if not, you’ll be paying the bank for your keys.
Eish 😔

Eish, it’s sad.
Please don't lie, mats are standard. Go to any VW dealer to confirm. Do u know anything about ground clearance of GT ?
This car had LED headlights and DRL's so add another R11850. You didn't mention it but if it had the storage package then add another R2600. And lastly if it had the rear camera and pdc add another R6400. Total cost R376850. Way better value for money elsewhere
Yoh. That’s tough

That’s true, the engine is a performer and we can’t take that away from it.
Apart from the manual windows, I like the simple analogue old school look of interior
That’s a cool take!

Great review! The 2024 Polo Vivo GT looks like a perfect blend of performance and style. 🚗✨
Thank you for watching 🙏🏽
Thank you, for your brutal honesty.
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Keep up the good work, we have been scrued for too long. Remember, the Vivo replaced the old cheepish City Golf and this model is old as well. 😅
Thank you for watching 🙏🏽
This is a good car, but without the badge and popularity. It would R199k at most
Agreed.
What a fire T shirt😭
Thank you!!🙏🏽

At the price it best to just buy a polo life or 2021 polo Rline
Pre owned also the way.
Even though it is expensive I'd still buy it😊,for the looks🔥 and the way it drivers💯. Either way I will only adjust my mirror once,as long as I have electric windows in the front I'm okay with it.
That’s a fair take.
Ei I love it looks good and punchy as well
That it is!

Lool.
Did you say "1 LITRE turbocharged"?!!
Yes, 1.0-TSI
@kumbimoncars some are of the opinion that small turbocharged engines are not very robust and are relatively unreliable
Then they take it in less than a year the street owners. Rather buy Fronx GLX full spec MT..it's overated price for a car made here in S.A. Hence these cars are plenty in repossess auctions because people go for looks rather than pricing. I love Polo GT but no to the price and spec of the car for 2024 model . 😂😂😂
The price has made it so difficult
Someone will still go and buy it. Imagine bro. Brand loyalty 🤷♂️
@@Bongani_Charts different things for different folks. GLX is not even close when it comes performance.
Performance for what with 60km speed limit in township? . Unless you need power to climb hills with polo or on drag race.
@@Bongani_Charts You need turbo power to maintain 120 km/h on a freeway, especially when going uphill and to efficiently overtake , particularly trucks. Try these two with your preferred Suzuki and judge for yourself.
Ya ne vw is still 'bulshiting', budget car my a@$$
Eish

Thanks for watching
VW is really loosing customers with this car!
The thing is, they really aren’t. People love and trust the brand so that is why it remains number one passenger car in SA
Actually people are really buying it 😂😂
Lol VW are really making fools of south africans 😂. Car looks cheaply made. Didn't have to make another polo, way to many variants of the car.
Eish
