I can testify to this. I bought the same car in 2020. Trust you me, i have never been to a garage since i bought it. Just regular service at DT Dobie... nothing more
I have its sister car (Skoda fabia) sold new locally tropical version in '09 - same suspension all those year, shocks changed only once. Engine has never been opened - oil change service every 10k kms, that's it; still pulls like brand new. No rattling plastics or body parts, feels much tighter than most KC, KD registered cars and its a KB. The plastic coolant system pipes will age - mine did at year 13 - they're inexpensive to change given correct parts and mechanic. As long as you have a knowledgable mech and access to genuine parts you'll not want to sell that car for many years....especially when you consider how light it is on fuel vs its performance
I drive a TSI I have never regretted buying it, been to malindi and back several times with it. I have changed water pump and steering wheel pump in 3 yrs I have used it.
CK. This is really good content that is meant for people who buy cars for fit and function, not just luxury. Maybe more reviews for new zero-mileage cars.
I had never noticed this car until one day a drunk guy hit from behind with it after jumping a bump. I needed a new bumper and body work including realigning my tailgate. For him, its only the VW logo that came off. And it was assembled just here in Kenya. Respect.
CK it's great, however, I would have loved it if you had compared safety features, and aesthetics, with its Japanese Polo. Basically, do a comparison between the two. I think in upcoming segments bring both local and foreign units, It will be much more educative, pengi and maybe Pengine thats when we will stop buying used cars
hii channel nimeijua last week na already nimeview like 30+ ...acha nipeane recommendation za gari unaeza review in the near future before zipande bei...ni below 1 million btw Renault Kwid 2018 model Daihatsu move 2014 Suzuki wagon 2014 Suzuki hustler 2016 alafu na Honda life I think itakuwa something nice to review because hizo gari zote zinacost less 1 mil na sanasana hizi gari z less 1mil zinaattract watu sana,sa ni vizuri you review them for us atleast we know what we are getting into if we decide to buy
So, this is essentially a poverty spec Polo Vivo to make it more hardy in our environment. From a business standpoint this is quite genius. I’m definitely not the target market though but it’s a good ‘dudu’ zero mileage option for Kenyans. They understood their target market here.
what a view ....today the shooting scene is superb. Nanyuki is a good place man. I love this place but shida Raha bro ...si unajua map ya reli ilipotelea huku. Nextime ukikuja Huku trout tree bill itakua yangu
Do they sell it with 6 speed manual? Late 2000s the sister car (Skoda fabia) used to be sold for Kenyan market new by CMC motors and had 5 speed manual option. Also has the tough suspension and under protection like this. Most were 1.4 NA. That's why you see mk1 and mk2 Fabias around still running very strong. Mine is mk2 2009 and I can tell you from the many years - very impressive! Especially engine and suspension - mine has seen many national parks and rough road trips with 4 people and full boot. Manual option makes it more fun to drive for me :) By now I know all its pros and cons, happy to share if interesting, in a sentence - I would 100% buy it again!
The introduction, wuuueh imeenda group of schools. Well I didn’t know it was an automatic gear box and not dsg, which now makes it value for money. Endeni pale Caetano and bring us the renault kiger 😂😂😂😂😂
I think the fuel consumption rate of any engine also depends on the altitude/elevation at which you are driving. Higher altitude=less performance due to the thinner air. You tend to consume less on your way to Mombasa from Nairobi than on the way back to Nairobi.
@@ndungu_kinyanjui that’s a. Dry strange thing to believe. Cars aren’t organic matter, they don’t ‘acclimatise’ to anything. And I’m sure cars aren’t developed miles and miles above sea level, unless there’s a car made in the Himalayas that I’ve never heard of so I don’t understand the whole altitude part. Emmanuel was just stating an interesting point, that you’ll get more range going down towards sea level.
Good content bro. Been coming back here since I started looking for a car to buy. Also try to include a segment that you approximate their maintenance cost
Thanks with a CK and your Platoon for just being practical. And for just doing this video on my homestretch and to be precise, in my home town, Kiangwachi!
Nice review but for 2.3 million I think the car is a bit expensive though it is zero mileage. Could you also review the Toyota Starlet from Toyota Kenya which is also zero mileage but is cheaper, sold for less than 2 million?
That was a great review. It proves overall that you are fairly objective kwa sababu weh... Watu wa VW walikua hawakupendi kabisa. A friend of mine company yao wakona hii gari the earlier version, KCK inakaa KDD and its really reliable. Coincidence leo umeleta review . It's a great car
That was the most mediocre moose test I’ve seen on what basis did you test it or was it just driving fast and swerving that what a lay man like me do when I’m bored
Who said it was a moose test? The problem with people like you is creating their own assertions in their mind and going ahead and blaming it on others then delivering a judgement upon them! We know what a moose test is and we decide to Carry out one we shall actually call it so
yes bro, we are not nyongist. Hatunyongangi, ukweli imesemwa. Good review. I loved the whole video. I don't know much about cars but I get to learn a lot about it on this channel. This was a very indepth video. I loved it completely and of course, my favorite part, review with the boys! I'm just a bit worried about your retention rate. I hope it hasn't been affected. Alafu hiyo intro, iliwezaaaaaaa

@@filbao8113 In the video he says about 2.3m.
Who's else's thinks we shld have more of this content ❤️❤️
Can we have a review of the electric golf? He can request DT Dobie for assistance
This show is just on a different level. No match. GOOD Job guys. Oh I've driven the Vivo and loved it. It is a car truly made for Kenyan roads.
Thank you for watching and support always
Buying new is highly discouraged by Mpigs making the tax laws. Buying brand new cars in SA is cheaper than buying cars second-hand cars in Kenya.
Bana
I drive a TSI I have never regretted buying it, been to malindi and back several times with it. I have changed water pump and steering wheel pump in 3 yrs I have used it.
CK. This is really good content that is meant for people who buy cars for fit and function, not just luxury. Maybe more reviews for new zero-mileage cars.
The last time I checked from Vivo it was 1.6m. Yaani bei imepanda ivyo tu 2.3
I think we need more of this, not complicated physics kwa engine😂😂
I'd like to a comparison between this Polo Vivo and the Toyota Starlet.
I had never noticed this car until one day a drunk guy hit from behind with it after jumping a bump. I needed a new bumper and body work including realigning my tailgate. For him, its only the VW logo that came off. And it was assembled just here in Kenya. Respect.
😂😂😂
Yes we would like govt to subsidize zero mileage cars to encourage purchase of non imports
Maaaaaaan you guys are constantly just topping yourselves on the quality of episodes!! Just SUPER QUALITY content right here!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Niliacha iki cost KSH 1.65 MILLION
That was in 2019 and early 2020
Hii ya kulipwa si mmekuwa positive sana
Sponsored review is usually biased
Only 105HP for a 1.6litre engine. I feel like VW could have done better
I feel this review is a promo, but its your time maBro to make money, awesome video 👍
Na venye nilikuwa nachukia utu tumagari , but it's nice machine 1600cc I feel it's much power for this car
Please can you make TOYOTA MARK II GRANDE Review.
New music🔥
Lakini lazima tutacustomize ya Carnversations, soon🤝🏾
Made for Africa in everything but price.
Mbugua ni shy but anakaa yule boyz good in plans. Mukitaka fombe na 'company', he is the guy. PUN intended. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I will not agree or disagree
How much the price for the car in Kenyan market
Niliacha ikiwa 1m flat sijui kama iko hapo bado
This machine is great Qatari kids are killing the streets of Doha bro na hii machine kwanza the GTI
Good job Erick. It's about time you invested in a proper 0-100 timer/stopwatch
💯 importing one for the next video
It looks superb. It made me very curious about polo GTI, though I've not seen them on Kenyan road, but South Africans have them.
This is arguably the most reliable VW in Kenya. Simple, no complications just start drive and arrive.
CK it's great, however, I would have loved it if you had compared safety features, and aesthetics, with its Japanese Polo. Basically, do a comparison between the two. I think in upcoming segments bring both local and foreign units, It will be much more educative, pengi and maybe Pengine thats when we will stop buying used cars
Noted I think I will do a follow up video on this
Thank you, that's why you guys are the best
Would love to see this also.
hii channel nimeijua last week na already nimeview like 30+ ...acha nipeane recommendation za gari unaeza review in the near future before zipande bei...ni below 1 million btw
Renault Kwid 2018 model
Daihatsu move 2014
Suzuki wagon 2014
Suzuki hustler 2016 alafu na Honda life
I think itakuwa something nice to review because hizo gari zote zinacost less 1 mil na sanasana hizi gari z less 1mil zinaattract watu sana,sa ni vizuri you review them for us atleast we know what we are getting into if we decide to buy
So, this is essentially a poverty spec Polo Vivo to make it more hardy in our environment. From a business standpoint this is quite genius. I’m definitely not the target market though but it’s a good ‘dudu’ zero mileage option for Kenyans. They understood their target market here.
Yap
My home centre Kiangwachi right on the scene...always giving candid reviews . This show is on another galaxy. Kudos to Erick, Ibra and Mbugua
ALAFU ILE DANCE after 100k subs bado tunangojea Erick😂😂😂
The video editing at the start was epic
Aki intro ya hii vida ni kali.....big up to Canversations team....
Plz do hilux zero millage.especially the 2.8l
Very insightful...next time Wacha Mbugua adrive
😂😂😂😂😂
Well, you got yourself a new fan, the videography, editing and the content itself is topnotch 👌
A hundred percent yes. Lakini sisi ni nani? Weka turbo, weka exhaust, weka ECU tune, halafu... BOOM!🤣
what a view ....today the shooting scene is superb. Nanyuki is a good place man. I love this place but shida Raha bro ...si unajua map ya reli ilipotelea huku. Nextime ukikuja Huku trout tree bill itakua yangu
im not buying for 2.3m lol
Is there a VW Tiguan of this type, made for Africa.
There's the Tiguan Allspace but I'm not sure if it's been tweaked to African terrain and conditions
Do they sell it with 6 speed manual? Late 2000s the sister car (Skoda fabia) used to be sold for Kenyan market new by CMC motors and had 5 speed manual option.

@@CARNVERSATIONS any time
calling a 2011 polo new
I think the fuel consumption rate of any engine also depends on the altitude/elevation at which you are driving. Higher altitude=less performance due to the thinner air. You tend to consume less on your way to Mombasa from Nairobi than on the way back to Nairobi.
I believe when a vehicle is aclamatized to a certain altitude or region its components and fuel in that region has to adapt.
@@ndungu_kinyanjui that’s a. Dry strange thing to believe. Cars aren’t organic matter, they don’t ‘acclimatise’ to anything. And I’m sure cars aren’t developed miles and miles above sea level, unless there’s a car made in the Himalayas that I’ve never heard of so I don’t understand the whole altitude part. Emmanuel was just stating an interesting point, that you’ll get more range going down towards sea level.
And more performance going towards denser air.
well...in all reviews you have ever done...this one you have been too generous and kind ...
Really? Truthful and balanced is what we think this review is all about
As Ibrahim said it’s a simple car for simple people. I’d go for such. My scorecard is 7/10.Keep up the amazing work guys. Cheers
I Hope he didn’t say it was for simple people. I would hope VW would be happy for anyone, even non-simple people to buy them…
Thank you CK for this, very informative.
Maybe a question, which is better overall? This or the Peugeot 208?
You welcome Felix, based with the design and what the car has to offer I believe the vivo leads the 208 in so many areas
German cars anytime
Zero mileage should be a no brainer
Good content bro. Been coming back here since I started looking for a car to buy. Also try to include a segment that you approximate their maintenance cost
Tuko site kama kawa
I would buy A Zero Mileage
Napanga kununua mwaka ujao
this is amazing 😍 definitely a good first car
Still waiting on the J150 diesel review
Thank you for watching and yes we are working on it soon
Fanyeni 2015/2016 Axela kama hii basi.
Really liked this one💯
Thanks with a CK and your Platoon for just being practical. And for just doing this video on my homestretch and to be precise, in my home town, Kiangwachi!
Does it have cruise control?
I WATCHED THIS ALLURING EPISODE ON 04/08/2022
Naona pia wewe ni fun wa 'The Wake up call with Grauchi' hapo 😁. Awesome review. Nangoja Tiguan ☺️
Following
This car is basically a modern Skoda Fabia. The only thing about it is that the engine is more reliable.
IAM IMPRESSED
Horse power you should alws mention for the 20% who are alws curious
very informative review, keep it up guys! next time kindly bring suzuki alto 800 zero mileage review from cmc
Good job, nice intro.
Watching from Zambia and seeing this iam interested to get the car
Wow! Nice review 👍
2.3m for a polo is hard small, that's c-class money.
NIce video.Though I feel it's too long.
Thanks sana for this Erick with a cK...need this soon...
The Government should heavily subsidy the taxes. We are overtaxed
Nice review but for 2.3 million I think the car is a bit expensive though it is zero mileage. Could you also review the Toyota Starlet from Toyota Kenya which is also zero mileage but is cheaper, sold for less than 2 million?
It is rebadged car; not a toyota
That was a great review. It proves overall that you are fairly objective kwa sababu weh... Watu wa VW walikua hawakupendi kabisa.
A friend of mine company yao wakona hii gari the earlier version, KCK inakaa KDD and its really reliable. Coincidence leo umeleta review . It's a great car
I love ths cinematography. I hope one day it'll match @Savagegeese
Good review and editing 🔥
after watching dennis collins we copy and pest his does
I love the vw I drove both Jetta and (Passat2021) they are perfect and comfortable though maintenance in Kenya...
Kindly requesting review of electric cars please.
That was the most mediocre moose test I’ve seen on what basis did you test it or was it just driving fast and swerving that what a lay man like me do when I’m bored
Who said it was a moose test? The problem with people like you is creating their own assertions in their mind and going ahead and blaming it on others then delivering a judgement upon them! We know what a moose test is and we decide to Carry out one we shall actually call it so
I would buy a zero mileage car..it's value for money.
And I have just done a trip through Tsavo with this car.... And I loved it.
yes bro, we are not nyongist. Hatunyongangi, ukweli imesemwa. Good review. I loved the whole video. I don't know much about cars but I get to learn a lot about it on this channel. This was a very indepth video. I loved it completely and of course, my favorite part, review with the boys! I'm just a bit worried about your retention rate. I hope it hasn't been affected. Alafu hiyo intro, iliwezaaaaaaa
Thank you for watching and support too
does it have manual transmission
good job guys, I didn't know about vivo but now I have liked it
What year model is that vw polo?
Congratulations guys
I loved the review.
Thanks to team wokabi for this review.
Please do Honda Jade
Big UPS intro imeweza 🔥🔥🔥
wow, that was an awesome review. Kaizen in practice.
Ni value for money here... That item is overpriced
It went up 700k in just two years
Does the vehicle have any side curtain airbags?
That intro needs an Oscars
Eti wagatimu grocery's 😁😁😁
Very interesting show! Kaizen spirit is working. Keep up the good work.
Its amazing 3grand fuel and a range of 240km its impressive really. Our fuel quality (octane rating) is horrible,diesel in Kenya is just porriage.
Kujia Honda Grace u review
A very nice review bro.
Am interested about the single cabin only.2.8l
Sponsored content.
what's the safety rating of this unit. how many stars
Hapo kwa take off ya 0-100kph I think you didn't finya it properly
maybe it could have done under 10s
I’m here because I own this car 😄
Iko aje
