The 3-cyl engine sound is actually quite sporty. The engine also weighs less, has fewer moving parts and less friction. It makes sense. These engines are normally smooth when accelerating, but not as smooth as a 4-cyl at idle.
You can still buy a normal Polo tsi...Not R line. But yes I agree. Not only Vw but othet car brands have increased prices. Like say in 2015 the C220 from Mercedes with all extras costed 700k but now the new C220 2022 model costs 1.2 million with all the extras😭
Actually test drove this a while ago. was curious to see how it feels and if the power delivery was good judging by the specs. it'd a good car but look elsewhere if you thought this might be something that's efficient plus has sent oomph.
I used to own a 2010 1.4 TSI Jetta comfortline and got on average 800km from 1 full tank (55l) . With this "blue motion" vehicle I barely get 750km from 1 full tank (55l). I do both city and highway riding. Something doesn't make sense, one would expect the 1.0tsi to be more fuel effecient...
Greetings from Bergvliet, Cape Town. Almost R300000 for a Polo is insain! I would rather stick with the Golf 4/5/6 1.6 petrol and the 1.6l 2002-2009 Polo (pre-facelift) and drive them in a civilised fassion rather than as if they are race cars.
Comfortline with options is cheaper...then add Software and you outrun all, just remove before dealer visits. Bluetooth is standard just the media composition is bigger , but optional on others for not much.
Problem: Same amount of power as the 1.2 with more torque = higher pressure turbo = TURBO LAG! Probably why they don't want to do it in manual. It would be horrendously slow. Stick to the 1.2 TSI
It's a nice showroom car... looks good, color is nice but don't think that so many people will buy it.. most of the Polos I've seen (in Germany) aren't specced to the top, because well it's a polo and for a R Line you can probably get a Golf!
I just bought this car i need your help i light brake fluid on the screen and then wiper error and then it shuts down everything electronical things what could be the problem
Always fairly amusing reading the comments section of any review featuring a new-gen downsized engine. "Rxxx for a 1.x, are you mad?!" Guess what folks: higher boost, lower capacity is where things are heading. Are all aspects of the advancement in technology needed to harvest more power with less input completely lost on the average TH-cam-jockey? Do these jockeys not realise that we'll be living in a better world tomorrow when manufacturers are able to squeeze 100kW out of a 600cc powerplant, instead of 60kW from a 2litre mill as was the case not very long ago? Getting rid of the horribly inefficient internal combustion engine in totality should very clearly be the ultimate goal, but I think we need to be grateful for every incremental advancement in efficiency until we reach that point.
Many people miss that point Martin, its where we headed and gone are those days where the bigger the engine the higher the kW output. I'm amazed with the comments where people complain of 1 litre engines. I'm driving a Golf 7 Tsi 1 litre and not even a VR6 can match the power and speed. THESE ARE TURBO CHARGED ENGINES PEOPLE!
I'm......please help me here i fell in love with this car when it came out in 2017 and i still want to òwn one my question is what are the major mechanical issues that i will face if i buy one now because most of them are second hands now with 200000 kilometers or more please help 🙏
There is a new polo coming and VW is keeping things interesting mmm... But this body kit nd engine have been available in Europe sine 2013 i used to stalk the Polo R line
too many cool stuff make it very expensive, plus its not pretty, it just looks like a box. unimaginative design. rather go for the drop dead gorgeous mazda2 or renault
290k for a polo...Hahaha hahaha hahaha. yeah, if i was a very rich dad and my kid needed this as a first car....ya NO, hahaha. sis man, what bull shit are some people smoking???
Mino Mtetwa fuel consumption in the real world is dependent on various factors including the overall condition of the car, road conditions and your driving style. You'd have to be a robot driving in a perfect world to achieve any car company's claimed economy. A claimed fuel consumption of 4.4 l/100km should result in 5.5l/100km under conservative conditions, 6.6 l/100km under sporty conditions and 8.8 l/100 km under track-like conditions. Do a little research to improve the condition of your car and your driving style. If you are looking for a car that will achieve closer results in the real world as claimed by the car company, go for a diesel engine.

VW started as a budget car option for everyone to afford. They clearly lost the plot with their prices these days

Epic 4K edit!
Any reason they went with the "old spec" front bumper? VWSA clearing out old stock?

To think i paid 295k for my Polo gti in 2012, pricing of cars are crazy these days!
ryan walker u must ask for around R260 000 second hand
The new GTI is over R370 000 without extras....that's a lot of money
@@SoloVentureExplorer now above 500k
@@engineeringonline927500k now is just a new Rline😳
WoW...bit expensive...but i would like one very much...
Shew she's almost R300k , looks good but just too expensive for a 1l cabby.....
R290k? Vir n 1l 3cyl? What is VW smoking?
Neil Vermeulen their Diesel
Neil Vermeulen Kia picantos are like 200k now and those are not even proper toys
These cars are expensive Neil, My Golf 7 TSI cost me R300k and has R80K worth of extras
If it's a 1.0 three pot then it's the Opel Corsa for me.

So a 1 litre Polo now costs as much as a Golf Gti 10 years ago??
Yes Neo, and a Golf GTI now costs as much as an M3 cost 10 years ago. What's your point?
Martin Hattingh 2007 BMW m3 was 900k, GTI full spec is around r640 000

Polo is an amazing car i have 1.2 ltrs. Truly a delight to ride. Oh and wait mjne is silk blue color
Polo range at end of life cycle - what will replace it?
All new polo is on it's way vw showed teaser images of the new model yesterday
Something with this new 1.0 3 cylinders engine lol!
They were trying the 2018 polo,s engine.
Love the car. Hate the price...maybe a madza 2 or 3 or a hyundai i20
The only thing that I like with the RLine is the headlights.

my dad just bought a polo r-line anazing car
I'm willing to sacrifice the DSG box and get a fully specced Corsa Cosmo 1.0t for about R30 000 less with more spec than what the Polo has to offer.
Erik Van Wyk GM gone

vw is out pricing themselves. 290k for a polo and with extras one is looking at 300+ the bosses at vw must go back to the drawing board!
I'd rather buy a 2013 Golf 6 35ed for that price

If i had MONEY i could buy everything you said

How much
I'll take a Mazda 2 individual auto
Nice vehicle, dont think its worth the money though. Certainly wouldn't pay almost 300 000 for a 1 litre engine!
3 cylinder, 1 liter.... how competitive with Ford Fiesta eco..?
Can get a fresh golf 6gti for that price
i bought a vw polo 1.2tdi with full optional extras and twin charged TDi option for 200k at VW, this is wayyyy overpriced
Ridoh Rylands which vw
There is a new polo coming and VW is keeping things interesting mmm... But this body kit nd engine have been available in Europe sine 2013 i used to stalk the Polo R line
love it
"Let us know what you think in the comments below..." I think you're hot Ciro 😱
5 thousand rand less than the new facelift golf 7. Who in their tight mind will take this polo over the new golf.
Comments are hilarious as usual. Try a 1.6 na and then this. Sure you get more toys in other brands but you came for a car didnt you?
too many cool stuff make it very expensive, plus its not pretty, it just looks like a box. unimaginative design. rather go for the drop dead gorgeous mazda2 or renault
