Nice video nice car your drive 100% VW good cars.. beautiful street and view.always enjoy your reviews.. by the last few videos you are without your watch hahaha I feel same thing missing hahaha. Stay safe tc
Got the 1.6 MPI and I took the same road up few days back to provide news coverage for the landslide at batang kali..It was a really fun drive with the polo
Very nice driving Uncle. I already renewed my driving licence from PDL to CDL and I hope one day I can own one of it, pleasant for daily drive and also fun for weekend stroll at windy road. This video has convinced me hehe, again thanks Uncle YS.
Mr Y.S Khong , Thank you so much for doing this Test-Run on VW POLO GTI 2013 model . It is indeed a Joy driving this car. I still miss this car very much till now. SGE7227H
Yeah it's better to drive leisurely than to go drive there to so call "test skills". You get to enjoy the car and the journey with a relaxing mindset. Good drive
Uncle, thanks for making the video, you always look so effortless taking those corners! How would you compare the handling of the Polo GTI with a Golf GTI of the same vintage? The Polo GTI seems good value for money.
The Golf handles better because it's rear suspension is a multi link, and it has a wider stance plus a bit longer wheelbase. However the Polo GTi is a very fun car to have, and is really good value for money, as you said. Economical to run too.
Nice to see you doing genting run again YS! isnt this car have short wheelbase yes ? how does short wheelbase or long effect driving ? i think rear will be more eager to rotate if its short right ?
@@jerrypsk4062 so far no issues with the dry clutch, drinks engine oil if always flooring it, and vw service centers caused most of the issue such as faulty ABS module and sensor
Hi YS, what do you recommend for used VW hatchback vehicles that come with TSI and dry DSG gearbox? How should i check or verify if they are in good shape?
The GTi I drove has gone 125k kilometres, and is as good as new. That one has more power than the Vento. Don't listen to the old grandmother stories. Those stories are around 7 to 8 years old.
When will the latest polo coming to msia? The rest of world has been getting the latest more than 2 yrs ago already, we're still having the old version...
@@YSKhongDriving Haha..yeah. But I'm still stuck in manual for my 'fun car'... Pergi kerja one of course lah auto. Nanti darah tinggi lei! And..in fact I wasn't dissing the DSG but rather since the rep of a 7 speeder DRY clutch suffered so much bad vibes, VW prolly should run a manual batch and see how it goes. There are still plenty 'Kaki Lari' out there who love manuals.
Uncle Khong, would appreciate if you could make a video on how to maintain a car especially this one over here. I wanted to get a used polo gti but at the same time, heard plenty of horror stories about it
Not many people know how to maintain. The normal servicing is quite cheap and people hetre invariably get it done by a mechanic. We do have a couple of maintenance- based videos in the channel.
These are a nice car, especially the twin charged engine, a proper LSD like the latter model would have made it even better. It's unfortunate VW had a bit of QC issue with them. I used to own a 2012 Polo GTI, the clutch pack on mine died at around 30000km and was replaced under warranty. But the biggest issue with these cars are the 1.4 twin charged engine, many of them have a tendency of eating oil, lots of it. There was software updates, components replacement but it doesn't always to the trick. My friend has an A1 with the same issue, so don't say it's an one off.
Currently im driving the latest 2013 version, to time till 2020 not so much hassle, only wear n tear, stated inside the Manual the engine need to be top up with 500ml engine oils at every 2K of mileage, thats the beauty of twin-charge TSI, as long i maintained it, all still good till today.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Hey bro so far is there any other issue other than dsg breakdown? How much it cost to repair also? Any advice giving as I’m considering to pick one up.
@@Owen-bl7xnactually it's a very good car.but previous owners normally will drive the car very rough.so sometimes the clutch overheat or wear out.so need find properly.other than the transmission the car is great.general maintenance is all u need.and when I replace the clutch at VW they quote me 2-3k .so I don't wanna pay that much.so I did it by myself.i bought the part for rm900.
@@YSKhongDriving I am consider buying polo. Really appreciate your video .I heard a lot feedback for this car and I heard the engine piston will crack for 1.4 TSI compare to 1.6 engine. I just curious whether this is true or not
Jun Yong Yes it’s true , but that doesn’t mean the 1.6 wont. There’s alot owner complaining about the 1.6 MPI reliability too... at the end of the day it still depend on how we take care the car. Some people never faced this kind of issue , some do so ya... see your luck

Nice driving as always uncle. Can I suggest to upgrade to a 4K resolution video camera?
Polo GTI.. the size is just nice like the original Golf GTI

The tightening corner you mentioned is where a lot of drivers have fallen if unfamiliar with the route. Especially in the dark.
Yes. I could feel it myself, so people with less skills might go out of control.
Sweet driving, uncle. Love the way you take the corners.
Thanks Harvard. Smoothness is the key. Fern in the steering gently and firmly. Do not steer more than necessary - in settles the car.
@@YSKhongDriving great, shall practice and take note.

Excellent point. Remember, weekend drives are for enjoyment, not for racing.
Please do a walk-around video for this car Sir!!
Uncle should really show us some real good 2nd hand cars . Inspira for one ;) , pretty sure many people will be interested in that.
Are you going to test drive the A class sedan ?
great driving uncle! calm and fast..I wish there will a review on the polo 1.2tsi sometime in the future
The Polo 1.2 is not available for sale now, so we probably cannot find one. The Vento is the same.
@@YSKhongDriving just sold my 1.2 polo late last year. Very2 nice car. fun to drive. love every bit of it.
Reminds me of the 90s computer game Need For Speed 2 :)

Been looking for a powerful daily compact car version.
Always love your content. Can you please do a review of the BMW 120i M Sport 2016 if it’s any good and worth the purchase in the used car market?
If I can get a car.
The build quality is #1 always VW and driving also specially in Gangtin road...🤩
Good drive uncle, would love to see the review for Vento 1.6 MPI as well.
Trying to get cars.
polo hatchack too
Good Driving as usual Uncle YS!
Thanks Mike.
How do you like the damping setup on the car uncle YS?
Quite nice.
@@YSKhongDriving could be setup slight harder after 5 years...
wish the new polo gti to be here.
It would be helpful if you review Jetta FL 1.4 TSI
Becareful of mecatronic i sudah kena
Nice to see you doing genting run again YS! isnt this car have short wheelbase yes ? how does short wheelbase or long effect driving ? i think rear will be more eager to rotate if its short right ?
For short cars with fwd, must keep it on the boil, more throttle through the turns to pull the car out of bend. Do not lift off or brake in turn.
@@YSKhongDriving yes it would lift off oversteer hehe. you are full of experience
i have a 2012 CBU polo gti stage 2 and its such a fun car to drive,hard to drive slow with it cause the car is just begging to be let loose
where do you do tuning?
@@IzzurinZacharia project A for mapping and A works for internals
May I ask if the car have any alarming problems to be worried about??
@@jerrypsk4062 so far no issues with the dry clutch, drinks engine oil if always flooring it, and vw service centers caused most of the issue such as faulty ABS module and sensor
How many horse power of this car

Actually it's hard but one thing is juddering means clutch worn out. Mechatronic no sign at all.
Uncle YS now MCO possible to drive up genting ? Not coming down from car.
Only through Ulu Yam, and turn back at roadblock near GohTong Jaya.
When will the latest polo coming to msia? The rest of world has been getting the latest more than 2 yrs ago already, we're still having the old version...
Buy recond unit
Uncle would you recommend a 9 years old Polo GTI taking consideration of the maintenance costs as well?
We have a 9 year old Polo GTi, and it is running fine. We have a video on it.
Hi, which one would recomend for a 2nd car daily short distance use. 1.2 tsi or 1.6 comfortline?
I think the two are no linger available. The next big thing will be the Golf, CKD, and 8 speed automatic gearbox.
Hi uncle just to get advice from your oppinion, which one the best & more enjoyable if compare Honda Jazz vs VW Polo GTI. ??
Of course the Polo GTi qith 180 ps, 250 Nm will be more fun.
Hi Khong, got any recommendations service for Tiguan?
Not really. Just send it back to VW.
If I'm not mistaken, this Polo gti have a turbo and a supercharger
Yup
Is that the standing thing behind your elbow the armrest?
Yes it is the armrest/ storage box. I put it up to get more space for my arm.
Hi uncle YS. Should I get a polo gti or golf tsi 1.4 mk7
The Golf is a bigger car - so go for the Golf
Great little car, marred by 'reputation'. They should bring in the manual 3 door versh and market it as a WARM hatchback.
Move on mate. This is year 2020.
@@YSKhongDriving Haha..yeah. But I'm still stuck in manual for my 'fun car'... Pergi kerja one of course lah auto. Nanti darah tinggi lei!

Hahaha. No worries. I just love the DSG.
Ever thought about doing all stock Honda CRZ automatic CVT Genting drive?
They don't have the car available, but I drove it up a Japanese mountain, and it was good.
@@YSKhongDriving ahh good to know that! Actually planning to get a used facelift version around end of this year
if i would like buy a 2nd hand Polo Gti 1.4, any particular things i need to take care of this car?
Nothing much that needs particular attention. We have had this one for close to 8 years, nothing much has gone wrong.

Hi，Uncle khong
I'm going to buy a polo gti soon.
Is that anything I need to take care of
Nothing much. Just check if any warning lights are in, and if any, check to see what is the fault.
@@YSKhongDriving Thanks😍，can’t wait to own this car already
Hi YS, was told this engine consumes engine oil. Is this true?
Not true.
Empty roads + cheap fuel ~ endless fun
Hi uncle... Any power lag going uphill?
Not really. You can see for yourself, I had to restrain myself going uphill

hi uncle, im buying a used car soon, which is a better buy? The Polo GTI or Golf MK6(twin-charged)?
If you want performance, the Polo GTi. If you want a bit more space, then the Mk6 1.4 TSi
@@YSKhongDriving what about handling and stability at high speed ? 120kmph+
Is it okay if i buy used vw polo gti 2012?
Excellent car. We have one in the family somewhere, same year, and it is still in excellent condition. Love it.
Uncle, this polo gti shared same engine as your golf 6 tsi.. Which is better?
The Polo GTi is uprated to 180ps, so is more powerful.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks for your reply.. i'm wondering what if a well-tuned golf tsi would go up with the polo gti ..
The dsg is gonna break down soon.i replaced my clutch twice .and it has 200k on the clock

No more Speedo views. To many keyboard moralists.

Hahaha, didnt realize that. May have got up on the wrong side of bed that morning.
Serious face la. Bkn masam
Unfortunately they do not replica this model anymore
Dear Master Khong, I have just follow you on your instagram
Can you compare this Polo and the new polo 1.6mpi. Which one is better and longiverity
This GTi is 180 horsepower, and runs a DSG. It is môre powerful and faster
@@YSKhongDriving How about the longevity? If not mistaken GTI is not selling in Malaysia anymore for new car right?
Because it is more expensive. The Polo MPI is locally assembled. Longevity depends on how you look after the car.
@@YSKhongDriving I am consider buying polo. Really appreciate your video .I heard a lot feedback for this car and I heard the engine piston will crack for 1.4 TSI compare to 1.6 engine. I just curious whether this is true or not
