Recently I got 2006 Polo 1.2 12v - 47kw, so just a slightly more powerful than that. And even though it's almost 15ys old, it's not that great in acceleration, and all the interior parts are kind of squeaky, there's something pleasant about this car. It has the attitude.
Poor you. I imagine you when your first coil will break break and you'll run on two cylinders (it happened twice in 5 years for me). Or when you'll have the engine light displayed on, your garage will make you change the lambda probe or the catalyst but it's just the wires are fucked up. Beware the electronics of this car. This is the reason I'm throwing it to junkyard now.
@@Charles-ox9jq I had this issue, misfire on 1st cylinder right after 1st check-up and changing spark plugs. Rusty coil. After 5000km not much really happened, apart from small leakage around cooling pump.
And here we are, more than a decade later, suddenly realizing the crappy HTP sounds great in comparison to what we can buy now. Where (or when) did we get to.
@@MrGermanletsplayerxD but the HTP is a 3 cylinder with relatively long stroke designed to be as cheap as possible engine for a cheap car that is not expected to drive a lot. It is intentionally sh_t.

When I'm reading the comments, I'm glad, that I still own one. I can't afford a new car, that has to visit a workshop twice a year and eats money like crazy because of that. You can do what you want and by yourself in this car. No Problem with Oil Inspections... you can refresh the oil and reset the service notification simply by yourself (Yes I also replace the filters). I love this car... it will break my heart, If its gonna die and I have to buy a new car without this amazing and unique character
@@TechSignn 2009. I have no experience with that car. I still own the polo 9N1 (2003) 1.2 . 64PS are enough for the city and a short trip on highways. If its the facelift from my car (next gen) then I would say yes, absolutely, but it depends on mileage, if the owner did regularly maintenance by a workshop, had the car an accident ? Those criteria are important
I have a feeling of Eiffel 65. My Polo is Blue ( really blue), my shirt is blue, the steering wheel is covered by Black s blue. At least is a petrol engine because if it was diesel, surely will need Ad-Blue....nice car, very good video as always!!!! BTW the sound of the engine revving is like arggggghhhh, don't make me run!!!!!
The moment bro made thing that I will never expected (emergency braking) and stopped in the middle of the road 😅 I thought that this guy made best review ever for a model of a car. Booow and respect
Bought the same car again, the engines on these models are indestructible. Doesnt matter how much you abuse it, it takes it like a champ with no complaints
For when, a video of a car with an SDI Diesel engine? It must be fun to see the speed and elasticity!!!! Continue with this format, cheap, simple cars!!
I have a 2002 9n polo with azq 1.2 12v engine it's slow cheap but fun to drive also cheap to mantain also never gives up he left me on the road just once for cat failure now he is my secondary car but still i love it.
In all 3-cylinder engines lies half of a six cylinder engine. I prefer the sound of the R3 to most R4s (may a Bubaru be an exception). Having owned a V6 before I miss the harmony of the 120 degree separation of the cranks.
haha my polo cup holder wasn't working when I got it but I fixed it, every so often you have to force something to pry it out because it keeps on getting jammed, you just have to be very careful with it!
i have 1.4 85ps 2009 (before the next generation ) and its okay 0-100 i did like 11.4 in my best try which is decent but i think even with the 85ps after 100km it should be faster compare to other cars with the same hp Overall its really nice for town cause the steering wheel is really light so it makes the driving in town really enjoyable
Didn't know they made an "HTP" engine, is it still a 12v ? I have one which is also a 9n3 from 2006 but with a 1.2 FSI 12v, 64 hp i think, and it looks faster compare to the numbers you had here. Of course, not a racecar neither but a lot of fun ! Btw, loved the video !
@@georgehuser4711 We have that engine in our Polo 6r and it's great fun. It's slow. Yes. But it's reliable, sounds nice, has good fuel economy if you drive it right and gets the job done
I love your videos, you are the best! Can you please test skoda fabia 1.2 htp 40 kw first gen? Its gonna be my Daily driver in 1 to 2 years, and I would love to see these test! Thanks
I've been owning this car (phase 1 from 2002) for the 5 last years. I have to get give it away now because of all electronics problems it have. And what a shame because what a sound and the engine's response. For my part, the engine was running much better with ethanol.
cool, really a nice car, does what it is suposed to, beeing a cheap city car that offer some internal space. I have a 2011 version (9n4), i do not live in europe, so i was able to get a sedan which makes the car a bit more pleasant to look at in my own opinion, the main difference is because mine has a 1.6L 104 hp VHT engine, but the rest is the same. I really love it, it was my first car ever (even learnt how to drive in it a few years ago) and probably won't sell it.
Brings back memories. I used to thrash the hell out of mine: loved hearing the 3 pot scream.
Baby-six
I just bought one and it's fun to kick the shit out of
@@connorknox4787 HA!Same here.I bought a 2006 model 1.2 petrol and it's super fun.This car is really nice,you enjoy it a lot.
Me too and mine had a K&N open filter so there was some deep sound but no go…
this channel is top tier change my mind

R3 's revving sounds beautifully nervous!! It's a kinda car for a first time enthusiast..🤔
Really didactic videos 👍🏻
Das macht voll spass wenn so ein kleiner Motor richtig getreten wird.
Oh Man.. This is definitely my favorite POV Driving channel, thank you so much for this video, keep doing it
We want every video for reverse top speed!!! Hear us admin!! That is one of the special things for this channel!
*To je nádhera 😎*
That braking is impressive!
60hp,175 km/h.Not bad!

they just made an oil bottle perfectly fit in there
they just knew its going to need it
wow, didnt expect it to sound so good!

Ah yes the HTP, engine of many names. Surprised how it sounds in high revs and that it's not a Fabia.
1:44 vtec just kicked in
🤣
😂
Bought the same car again, the engines on these models are indestructible. Doesnt matter how much you abuse it, it takes it like a champ with no complaints
6:29 lol nice :)
Meilleure chaine de test lol, test de A à Z
The car actually sounds quite nice tbh🔥🔥😳
I have the 2003 one in Black, i drive it exactly the same way every day, so much satisfaction
Best test car Channel
*The best intro)*
If I could I,d like to drive with you but watching you driving is always enough. You are always doing great job in driving car like my father 😁
Very nice driving skills. A footcam could be very nice.

Could you tell me how far i would get with a full tank doing like 110-120 on the autobahn
You know it's quite low powered car when you have to turn AC off :D

how to fix oil problem? I have the same. Need to add 50ml every 200km...

The oil scene was fabulous. Anyway, very nice video. And this guy it's driving better than most making videos with much more powerful cars.
0:57 the notorious cupholder, I've only ever seen one MK4 Polo with a working one 🤣

Yeah mine is stuck
Mine doesn't even have one lmao
Just got my licence, checking out POV videos before I buy a car
actually sounds pretty good
0:24 it would have been nice to have 2 identical cars, but to pretend you don't know whose key it is. Maybe a tip for upcoming vids 😉

6:30 😂😂 good boy..
Amazing color on steering wheel. 👍
I love this video!!
My car!!! Love the sound of it. Just very slow lol, mine is 60hp 6v version which usually is less likely to burn oil
Is this the 12v version? Or?
@@Nick_Sand_Bager Not sure, might be the 6v, 6v's dont have an engine cover and 12v's do
Essence la valeur sur essence moteur solide et robuste increvable
Allah blessed me with a similar car 2005, it has helped me get places its very sturdy and fast.
These Polos with 1.4i engines are the sweetspot.
1.4 TDi 80 is best
i have 1.4 85ps 2009 (before the next generation ) and its okay
0-100 i did like 11.4 in my best try which is decent
but i think even with the 85ps after 100km it should be faster compare to other cars with the same hp
Overall its really nice for town cause the steering wheel is really light so it makes the driving in town really enjoyable
This is really top auto bruh
seems to be going faster after the ... lets say, out of the box, oil top up :))
I love your videos
I almost died laughing when the cupholder shot out of the dashboard lol
A true german machine, built to last with 5 speed manual gearbox 3 pedal, evertime in redline
Redline = A great smile hahahahah

no top speed in reverse?😅

Nice vid mate. You squeezed every single horsepower you could from that awful engine lol

Its a great engine

Is this the same engine than in the ibiza 6j 1.2 60hp ?

It does.. a crappy 1.2 with an inherently bad timing design.. and 44kw (deserves to go into the bin)
