- Looking for a used Polo in South Africa? We have over 3500 to choose from!
www.cars.co.za/usedcars/Volks...
The Polo GTI now leads a lonely life in a segment that was once buzzing with compact hot hatches. The Fiesta ST and Renault Clio RS are no longer sold in the South African market and so buyers who want GTI vibes but can't stretch to the R700,000 needed for a Golf GTI are left with limited options.
Volkswagen recently facelifted the entire Polo range and the updates are quite significant. We sent our in-house race ace Ashley Oldfield to tear the new Polo apart (metaphorically speaking of course) and tell us if this latest incarnation of the Polo GTI is Vrrr Pha or Vrrr Meh.

Upgraded from the 2009 Passat to the 2022 GTI...the price is quite hefty but got a good deal for a full house model. Amazing vehicle...this review almost made me not buy it but soooo glad I did. Definitely worth it.
Can we take this moment to appreciate how boss the SuperBoss is and was.
That drone did a great job.. props to the operator 🔥🔥🔥
In 2016 I paid R290K for a brand new Fiesta ST... Now you can't even get a base spec polo for that anymore. Half a bar for a bland arse Polo GTi is lunacy. It has just become a fashion statement.
It's a crying shame that we don't get the new Fiesta ST here anymore...
FYI low milage Fiesta ST200s are currently around R330K & in my option it's a far better car for those who want a dynamic driving machine & don't care much for all the tech frills.
You can get basically get a tidy regular Fiesta ST with under 80 000km for almost half the price of a new Polo GTi...
I have a 2020 Suzuki Swift Sport which I bought for 290K. While you can't compare it with the Fiesta ST and Polo GTI it is a great car. Absolutely superb around the mountain passes here in the Cape. Yeah straight line speed and 0-100km/h times ain't everything. Give me the Swift Sport or Fiesta ST over a Polo GTI any day.
Those ST200's going for 330k is crazy. That's what it cost brand new back then...
Would never even consider that over a GTI especially to pay 330k for a $hitbox fiesta
@@WaseemKhan-iu4bh If you want a “premium” car with a German brand image then the Polo GTi is for you. The Fiesta isn’t that however, the Fiesta is an absolute blast to drive & a decent low milage example is less than half the price of the new Polo GTi… (Real world price after dealer markup)
The Fiesta is no “shitbox”… Everyone has their own taste, even so I feel that I speak for the majority of petrol heads & car enthusiasts that we don’t disrespect other vehicles just because it’s from a brand that we personally don’t like.
It’s clear that you don’t know much about the Fiesta ST & you’re likely a German car brand or VW fanboy that wants to talk trash about other brands.
Maybe you have a superiority complex idk, but we don’t talk like that here…
I personally don’t like what the Polo GTi offers especially at its price point, within its segment & in comparison to other cars in its segment however, I still respect its existence, its capabilities & understand its appeal to some people.
I would personally never spend my own money on any Polo however, I don’t talk trash talk it just because I personally don’t like it.
When it comes to hot hatches I feel that the GTi is catering to the premium poser, that’s why I call it a fashion statement.
The Polo defiantly does a few things better than the Fiesta ever has, however it’s still not for me, just as the Fiesta isn’t for you. Everyone wants different things out of a car…
Most petrol heads &/or driving enthusiasts that are buying a new car for driving enjoyment will likely not be looking at that Polo brand new for that price. After dealer markup it’s in GR Yaris territory!!! Over R600K (Real world pricing) for a standard Polo GTi is madness!… maybe in a few years when that car has depreciated it’ll be worth another look for those sort of people. That is if the first owner hasn’t wrecked it with distasteful modifications…
Enthusiasts that know their oats that are looking for a new car around R650K will take the GR Yaris over a Polo GTi every day of the week. I guarantee it!
So in terms of affordability: R300K - R330K for an ST200 or approximately R240K for a decent low milage regular Fiesta ST is far better value for many than a new Polo GTi if you’re looking for a modern fun little driving machine.
That’s obviously not what you’re looking for, I’d assume you prefer the “premium” brand image of the newer Polo GTi. That’s good, more power to you, just don’t trash talk other cars that you don’t like or know nothing about.
If you have driven the Fiesta ST back to back with the GTi & other competitors you’d understand why its so well regraded in the fun & dynamic category. Sure the interior plastics aren’t as premium as a Polo nor does it have any of the tech frills that the Polo offers however, it is 10x more fun to drive than a Polo. The polo is a good car, its a fast car, but it’s bland & boring to drive in comparison to the Fiesta ST even the Mk7.
Go look up the reviews of the Mk7 Fiesta ST by Richard Hammond (Old Top Gear), Chris Harris & others, you’ll see why its driving characteristics are so well regarded.
@@MIGerlag while i agree it is a "fun" car to drive especially in comparison to the polo GTI which is a lot more bland and refined... at 300k i still wouldn't even consider the ST when you can pick up the previous gen Polo GTI with the 1.8TSI EA888.3...it's faster then the fiesta ST feels much more on edge than the new polo GTI while still having the high quality build quality, finish and sleek interior/tech that you would expect from a premium German car.
The squicking sound the Superboss made when the door open, aaaah man so nostalgic.
I just love how strong and sustainable the engine really is as compared to other vehicles that give up on you after some time
Great video man! Your presenter skills are great and unique
i had to choose between the pre facelift polo gti and a clio rs trophy. Glad i went trophy, sure its firm, but lft off oversteer, akrapovic noises, trackdays. best decision ever.
Good choice mate, the Polo is so bland looking anyway
Lol, telling yourself that a clio rs i better looking and faster at the track than a Polo GTI… your funny dude, French shet cars stay frebch s@&€ cars
@@blackmagician0078 you serious? The Clio trophy had the ring record for 5 yrs for a supermini and was only beaten by the 220kw mini GP. I owned a polo gti before and test drove the new one. You honestly can't be serious to think a polo is a better toy. Sure it's a great all rounder but it can't even lift off oversteer
@@blackmagician0078 ps. The Clio has a nismo Nissan engine so will outlast a vw engine :)
@@nazmo_za9654 Bru Im a big VW fan ive driven both and the rs is an absolute handling dream but all round the gti is a level above it plus the performance tunablilty on gti is superior
That drone in the drag race was shunting!
Thank you guys for an honest review you guys need to compare the polo tsi range these prices don't make sence in Namibia im sure you guys can help
Hey man firstly this is the smoothest car ever my best friend has one and the car also moves but you are right about the speed bumps
9:06 wow that shot was awesome! Looks super cinematic, like a trailer to a movie!!
Wow ash...you should have your own channel mate...i like the way you break it down boet....S/O mr oakfield
Great review!
Half a bar for a POLO?😭😭😭😭 I am definitely not the target market. I will keep my 7.5 GTI thank you
Keep it. It looks old.
😂😂😂😂
@@MrLukaszSzymanski what do you drive?
😹😹😹 keep it brother.
Yeah I’m a newly qualified CA and thought that my new car would be a golf 8 gti kodwa these prices are ridiculous 😢
That price is deceiving its easily R550-R650k
494k
Its only 580+ if you are buying from a 3rd party dealer... the prices in general are crazy but those 3rd parties are really trying to take advantage of people
@@Freshes_V You actually are right It just came to my attention now when I checked the vw dealerships in comparison to the third party ones noticed the huge difference in price
@@samkelojmagudulela2576 Don’t worry about them they’ll be going bankrupt and those cars will go on auction
This market is not the same without a Renault Clio rs available or corsa opc or Fiesta st....give us choice!
The problem with those is that they don't do well with sales in our country, the French and Germans can price their cars pretty ridiculously and wait till it starts to give you problems... I know a guy who bought a Renault Megane F1(or something like that) back in 2013-14, the car had some transmission issues and when the owner got quoted, poor gut had to park that bloody thing for months.😏
Dale my bro you forgot Peugeot 🤣
I have the 2020. And ive just put on PS4’s. Transforms the car. Softer on the road. Sharper turn in. Puts the power down better. Will not be “upgrading” anytime soon.
Refreshing to have an honest review. Great stuff.
Had a 2019 polo gti, I crashed it then took a 20k mileage automatic comfortline for R270K, and now I’m convinced the gti ain’t worth all that money. The comfortline is just soo good man
Spot on Zweli i just think they are overpriced for nothing
Okay but why
You got old .
Seems like we're not alone in Europe with the shock on the recently skyrocketing prices of Volkswagens. I'm not good in the Rand calculations, but seems like the rises in the recent 6 months are on an equal amount of +20-25%. It's crazy and people should be aware of the reasons - chip shortage, rising prices of resources etc. are only partial.
The main source of recent horrendous VW policy is the aftermath of the Dieselgate - it made such a big harm to the German's budget plans they needed to launch cost-cutting policy and rise the prices. Look at the quality of materials in the B-Segment Volkswagens - harsh plastics, like in the budget Indian cars, every feature jumps the configured price up, lack of this famous solidness Volkswagen used to be famous of. Sit in the interior of Korean cars to see some savings on the materials don't have to be that radical. The era of Volkswagen we used to know is somehow over - the want to by 2030 sell less, more expensive and more profitable cars for wealthy Western Europeans, Americans and Chinese. The rest of the world isn't a thing for them anymore, apparently. Now we're seeing the introduction to this radical change. What a time to be alive.
Where do you get all this information from?
You are funny with all that crying. Harsh plastic ? U get that only on doors and it's ain't that bad. The overall quality is much better than in old Golfs and even new Skoda's. There is no savings on materials. U get a great screens, wheel and dashboard. All the new tech. Great little but fast and economic engines. I've seen how Fords and Kias look inside, u gotta be blind to compare it. If u can't afford it just don't buy it. But don't cry here and try to make it look bad.
@@MrLukaszSzymanski Ok, Volkswagen worker.
PS Try harder.
@@Geebvs Not at all. U like conspiracy ha?
@@MrLukaszSzymanski So it's even worse for you if you're writing advertisement-like stuff for free. Even Volkswagen owners are complaining about the problems with harsh, easy scratching, cheap materials in the latest B-segment models, especially in case of too expensive for this kind of policy T-Roc, made like budget Chinese crossover inside.
PS "Great screens" - read about the infotainment lags, errors and issues owners complain worldwide, maybe this would wake up from this sweet dream. You know, your car can be cool, but never is perfect - you don't have to deny and write opposite stuff to anything negative you'll read about beloved Volkswagens online. "If you can't afford blah blah" - this argument makes you even weaker in this discussion, jesus.
I queried the reason why VW chose to keep the engine the same in SA and they replied stating it is due to the fuel we use in SA. They have yet to reply why the fuel consumption rating increased from 5.9l/100KM (2018 GTI) to 6.4L/100KM in 2022 while still using the same power plant and gearbox.
They could have atleast given the SA market the EU gear box. The power doesn't really differ that much
Maybe the Polo is a little heavier...increases fuel consumption
They should have called it the polo GTI FU especially since they haven't given us the newer 7 speed gearbox and engine
Thats just VW's way of saying we are very cheap and want to screw the consumer as much as possible while still charging the customer more 😄
In terms of fuel consumption I think they are just being realistic with the new model. To get anything below 6L/100km in the pre facelift you really have to drive dirk slow, 80km/h
Its like the other day I was in a vw dealership getting my 09 polo serviced. Started looking at a new polo and it was around R400k...I nearly had a heart attack😂. Ill keep my oldie for now
R400k is madness for a VW Polo!
yes in Australia they will be about $12,000.00 dearer for the same base model than my 2017 polo. my dealer said wait till the end of the year to upgrade hopefully prices will come back down.
It’s around Euro here in the Netherlands 37.900 (R626 000) think one needs to remember this is a premium European car.
Cars in Europe are a luxury, and cars like this believe it or not are even more so (you don’t need a GTI) where as South Africa having a car is a necessity, so you buying a 1st world high end product with in a declining economy your going to pay $$$&
@@leoncurlinghope1 You talking Kak*
@@lesego2933 do you live in Europe?
It looks better, but yah we need that VRR PHAA!!, too quite 😌
so, same power, no more vr pha sound, but such a huge price hike? might as well buy a normal polo tsi c line
How much BHP does that C line have because here in the uk this new polo has 207 BHP so I think that is a lot more than that C line
There isn’t much of a price hike considering the pre facelift model was around R480k brand new from the factory with options
In my personal opinion the best Polo GTI ever made was the 6R. Yes a lot of people complained about the engine and gearbox, but that thing was an absolute gem! I must say I am really impressed by that Opel Kadett Superboss, I didn't expect for the race to be such a close one.
I can't agree with you more! I now own the 2.0 but I used to own a 6R and I loved it to death regardless of its issues. It was a raw and amazing driving experience. The 6R is without doubt the best Polo GTI!
Yeah even the 6C wasn't bad. In fact the Mk5 Polo as a generation was a sweet spot and it made sense (best generation in my opinion).
I still love that car and would consider getting one even today, indeed it's the best Polo GTi ever built! My choice would be the manual version of it since I have heard of many mishaps and misfortunes with the DSG transmission version of that car.
Some vw dearship are 650k for a polo gti💀💀
What the hell! That’s insane, for a Polo. 😭
It’s insane , and vw warranty’s are shit
@@TycoonRR depends on which dearship some offer 5 years 100 000
@@hipetwa oh I wasn’t aware but the cars are still over priced in my opinion .
awesome review. I've missed these kind of "real world " reviews as opposed to the ones done on track, i love the car but i can't help but wonder if it's better to buy a pre owned golf 7 gti over this🤔 please do the comparison review.
Don't do that my man.
@@niggaswatchmeinalot.5247 do what????🤔
I bought a very low mileage golf 7.5 gti for the same price. Love my car.
@@reagang8038 that's the problem with this polo gti. one can get a 7.5 golf gti or even a golf r for the same price
Yeah. All my delivery, licensing and road fees was free and I got a 5 year full maintenance plan for free too.
i am in Australia i purchased a 2017 polo Trendline not knowing that in 2018 they making them a little bigger. as i to wanted a golf but wanted to stay with something i could afford to pay off. i nearly traded for a 2021 model till my dealer said the new model is coming but wait till the end of 2022 hopefully prices will come back down a little. do you think it is worth upgrading i would prefer the style over the life but the life is the only one to come with a manual this year. i am still unsure about automatics.
Who else saw that Amarok coming from behind to GAAAAP the Polo???
Pre-Facelift, cheaper and better. Sounds better, looks better and doesn't have those rubbish touch-buttons.
Exactly my point brother
I beg to differ
I agree with u brother Max...
I beg to differ too
They have the same exhaust system bud
Did u race that Golf GTI at the end?
How fast is that drone though :D
Plz give us a blast from the past
Ford fiesta st 2017 vs new polo
Clio is vs new polo
Drag race
how is it good value being half the price of the overpriced golf gti?
I have just ordered a 2022 Polo GTI here in the UK
I would like to know I will get the 207 BHP 7 Speed here right?
Yes
Please do a review of the new Opel mokka GS
Yaris going for close to a milli, Polo going for half a milli. What's next? A Picanto GR going for 1 mil?????? The world has gone crazy
Don't compare the yaris gr with this my guy it's way faster than even the golf gti which is within the same price range
@@mphomokoena3201 bro I get what you're saying but at the end of the day it's still a Yaris.
I noticed, that in some of the shots, the center light on the front was off. Anybody knows why?
Considering it costs about 250k less than the golf 8 GTI while having pretty much the same engine/gearbox plus all the latest tech i would say it's well worth it.
The engine is similar but not the same, personally rather pay extra for the Golf.
@@carcrazyguysa4059with regards to performance only the turbo is slightly different(smaller) and when swapped with the same turbo it makes about 95% the same power as the mk7 GTI this is also the case with the previous polo 6C GTI 1.8TSI...personally if im spending almost 850k ain't no way i'm buying any 4 cyl golf, i'll get a very low mileage 2 year old M2c or RS3
@@WaseemKhan-iu4bh You are definitely on point R850k is M2/M4 money! Not a 4 cylinder. Though that price is only the crazy mark-ups that dealers are charging. A well optioned Golf pre-ordered comes to R750k. Still a lot of money.
Its just swopping to something like an IS38 is Stage 3 and that could easily run you a R100k plus. Almost equalling the cost of a Golf.
Of course its a different story with a 6C.
@@carcrazyguysa4059 True alot of the new polo/golf GTI's i seen have been marked up by 100k. I think around 650k for the golf GTI and just under 500k for the polo GTi seem somewhat reasonable.
I know a few people who have done the is38/is20 swap on both the 1.8/2.0L polo GTI's..all you need really is a turbo, intercooler and downpipe with the file.
This was using 2nd hand turbos so all in all it costed around 30k to have the same power relaibily as tuned mk7R's etc. Which is not bad at all
Agreed got mine coming July! Can't wait perfect car for me
can you guys compare the golf 7.5/7 gti with this one since they are around the same price
I’m glad I got the previous Polo GTI. Vrrpha is there plus pops and bangs and it’s really comfortable in normal mode. This new one is trying to challenge the Fiesta and I know without driving it that it would never be as good. So y’all buying this quiet mouse, enjoy the bumpy ride.
Keep it, it looks old
Its only firm because he is driving around in Sport mode. The 2022 GTI has adaptive dampers so if was driving in Normal, Eco or Individual mode with the dampers on Normal it would have been much smoother. Source: We have a 2022 GTI.
This guy knows his stuff! Subscribed.
The Polo Gti price fully speced is just under R600 000 alot of money for a Polo Gti but unfortunately in South Africa we don't get the more powerful engine that's available overseas
You won't even notice 10 extra horsepower, the main loss is the lack of a DSG7
Great quality content 🔥.
I can live with the new front. But the back is a disaster like most new cars. No wonder the used market is on the rise. New and facelifted cars just don't look good enough and the prices don't make any sense 👎.
Who else thinks the pre facelift(2018/19) models looked better inside and out
When it comes to the GTI and Polo Life(comfort line) then I prefer the face-lift models but when it comes to R-Line I prefer the old one
I have been saying this. The prefacelift looks much better outside. Inside its the other way.
@@theophilusyende8486 not sure if you are South African, but there was no R-Line or Comfort Line Polo Gti's in SA. Those options apply to the standard non-Gti models only
Looked? Nah
Sounded? Yess
@@Entprz2 I'm talking about the Polo range below the GTI. There was the trendline, Comfortline and highline. The R-Line was a body kit only available in the highline and comfortline.
vw must bring back a new variant of the 2017 6c polo gti , the myth the legend
There isn't a better channel in SA to watch these review videos, so well put together but can someone please teach the camera person how to clean their sensor !!! 😅
Eagle eyes! Yup sorry about that. A rare oversight :)
That 3 year 45000km service plan is a biiig problem for me on a +R500k car.
If I have 500k I'm buying this. You always get value for money with a gti. Cleo rs, Ford st are both good but the vw gti is boss for a reason.
I don’t understand why this car has such polarizing views. It’s genuinely a good car in every way.
It's price tag is what has thrown all objectivity out the window.
What should it’s price tag be? It offers the most amount of equipment at its new price point. It’s reasonably sized, fast, nice looking and is proudly made in South Africa, it supports thousands of locals and their families.
The MK5 GTI would be a great rival to this polo GTI and would make an amazing video
The mk5 is slower. The Mk 6 is a better competitor. But the polo gives it a tough time too.
@@SML783 both the mk5 and this polo GTI have the same 147kw 🤷🏻♂️
Not a chance the Mk5 GTI is ancient compare to this car... not to mention this GTI is both faster than mk5 and mk6 GTI. The mk7 GTI would be better comparison
@@anasmalek123 newer engine means less turbo lag and more efficient not to mention it has more torque and weighs less.
Kw isn't everything
@@WaseemKhan-iu4bh that is what the “show” would be about 147kw from the past and 147kw from now
No cap this nice
the 2022 and 2017-2021 have the same suspension not too sure why you are saying its a harder ride makes no sense
volkswagen cutting corners on everything including design. This brand would be toast without their massive market control
You can even get a 7R for cheaper yes it wont come with warranty etc but damn the prices have gone quite high
Which road is that?
90's Super boss💪💪💪
What about the Hyundai i120N?
Notice how he said, "Gold GTI" and moved on like it was nothing lmaoooooo!
Timestamp here 9:40
No adaptive dampers?
Hy do you know the polo 9n2 2.0R
Honda civic si, how can we get in sa
I think you guys should review the Suzuki Swift Sport, it's light, cheap,quick and has a good deal of low end torque
Its ugly!
@@lmeyer46ish That's your opinion though.
R400k? More like R600k 😂
HyundaiSA needs to bring i20N I m sure it sounds nicer than Polo GTi
i30n is same price as a golf, not comparable. i20 wont come
@@michaelmich00 i30n would be a best option for me over the Golf, you pay R750ks and you get everything that can possibly be fitted in a hot hatch with no extra cost plus over 200KW of engine power, (mind you I forgot a good service and maintenance plan) where else the Golf would go up to R800ks+ as you tick the list of those fancy overpriced optional extras, but still get 180KW of power deliverance...
Though it's just a personal preference to everyone. But in reality, VW is unnecessarily overpricing their cars.
My gosh, you look like Daniil Medvedev 🎾.
🙂I like this guy
I would still choose the mk5 gti in the background at the end of the video
I love and will always love that car if you refer to the Golf GTi that showed up on the vid.👌
I just wonder how much a brand new A class costs these days 😭?
Nothing a little trip to PowerPipes Performance can't handle
Most 2020 to 2022 models have soft limiter, it sucks out the fun. I also heard the recent BMW M2 exhaust sound, am disappointed.
So now the Polo GTI competes with itself since Fiesta ST and the likes escaped the market.
VW ~nice car
really very good
R500-R600 000 for a Polo...you have more Money than Grey Matter....Over Priced, Over Engineered like most VW's are. That leads to Sell-Buy Dates ( Like Most German Vehicle's ). After the Maintenance Plan and Warranty, you HAVE to get rid of it.
a Wise man told me once: Some cars are Build to Sell, Others are Build to Last, I prefer the Latter...There are Korean Options - More Reliable, More Bang for your Buck.
P.S Ash....you Groan about Weight...you have become to accustomed to the G.R Yaris....😂😂. Great Vid !
Which Korean cars or any other Asian car is the equivalent to a German lux?
I'd get the i20N
YUCK
Remember the 9n3 days
I will take the boss
Plus the superboss was smoking

You know what, Ill rather save a shit ton of money and buy a Superboss.
Paid 675k for my 7.5 tcr , 500k for a polo is mad
Wait wait.. was that scripted 10:58 that old polo Gti
also noticed it. TBH the mk5 is a better car all round.
That's a Golf GTi MK5, it seem it has a a front bumper lip or so, but definitely a Golf Mk5 GTi
I cant make it through this video ,
no crarisma to the presentation.
Tell my SA friends this is not a polo 8 but just a facelift😭
I love the comments section.......Same engine Same gearbox lol one of the worst assumptions ever. EA888 Gen4. IHI VS continental turbo..the list goes on.
We don't have the EA888 gen 4 in south africa yet so both this new polo gti and golf 8 GTI are still using the EA888 gen 3
In 2014 Peugeot made 147KW out of a 1.6L manual nothing special about this light show Polo with a Golf 6 engine
Cars are too expensive this days , so much money for a polo🙄
It's not just a polo it's a GTI and it shares the same engine and gearbox as the golf GTI while being a bit more affordable so what's the problem?
I would go for high line and put the GTI rims...I can't stand a car that has hard suspension.
R490k!? Nee f*k man.
It’s actually 600k
@@TycoonRR goeie kont!
Not a good review. The reviewer constantly complains about the too firm suspension. This is misleading and just wrong. The car has adjustable dampers and he clearly has it in the stiff sport mode. All he needed to do was set the suspension to normal in which case the car is very comfortable. Really bad to review a car without knowing about fundamental features such as this.
I own this very car
My condolences 🙏🏻
@@RRSmurf Why its a great car
This is a “Golf 5 GTi” in modern Polo clothing. Bit of tweaks and you dont need a Golf 8 GTi.
