Interesting comments due to affording a car like this that i should have included in the video for peace of mind, On the finance calculator Vw quote;
48 months at £282.30
Customer deposit at £2,351.98
Deposit contribution of £1000
Final payment of £9,758
Make your own mind up, is this something a 18-22 year old can afford? Let me know below!
That's bonkers. For what you get.
Jamie_FYD no chance should go for an older model, the polo GTI is a great car for young drivers though but that price of the 2019 is way to much for what you get
@@A22Alex There are too many factors that affect insurance premium; where you live, your occupation, the safety features available, how often are they stolen.. and the list goes on so it will differ greatly per person. Currently am 22 and getting close to 5 years of driving with 0 accidents + no speeding offences and I can easily afford insurance on a "high performance" vehicle. here are some personal example fully comp insurance quotes i've had on stock cars from playing around on gocompare last month: Fiesta ST180 - £600, Toyota GT86 - £900, VW Scirocco R - £700, Honda Civic Type R FK2 - £670. Drive safe and keep your records clean and you'll literally watch your insurance premium drop year by year.
@I Drive A Corsa even better if daddy owns an insurance company
All depends if mummy and daddy fancy paying for there kids gti, but normal working class 18 yr olds ain’t buying no gti even with them finance rates...
Didnt realise young drivers had £30k to drop on a Polo GTI and £5k to spend on the insurance
Bailey Pate Young, not new
I got this on finance
google User how old are you
@@AnonymousHLT how much was insurance
Bailey Pate £1300 **
"Why young people should finance" would be more appropriate
do you think i should change the series to that name?
@@JamieFYD No, keep as is, its a general phrase, people looking to lease may sway away from watching the video because the title would say finance..
19 Reg 2.0 TSI for a young lad? Behave.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am 20 and I have this exact car and it only costs me £800 for insurance.
@@darrenaddyman1556 wtf thats so much
Keep up the good vids bro
Best review so far, respect from amsterdam👍🏾
I'm a 45 year old teenager and love it to bits...had it since May 2021 and done 25000 miles and loved every mile
Decent video as always my dude 👌👌
I just got this car!! I'm sooooo grateful for this car🙏🏽 absolutely love it
It’s a shit car, I’ll buy it with 100 Monopoly money. Take it or leave it
@@theweeknd2725 I was joking
@@FLAMEalan not a very good joke mate
@@thabiso3299 jokes are objective. Doesn’t have to be funny or good to you
pretty cool wee cars. the orange coloured ones are pretty tidy and really modern looking
yeah dude the orange shade is awesome on these polos
The main reason you would get the Plus model is the full LED headlights which you missed out, they are around 800 alone, but Halogens on the base GTI are unforgivable, especially since the 2014-17 model had LED as standard on GTI.
awesome video man! agree on the seats and the steering wheel for sure⭐️
Great review 👍 makes me want one, the tuning potential would be great 🚀🇬🇧
I am getting one for myself,love this car
Great review. Greeting from the Netherlands
Nice review, thanks mate. VW owe you because that's at least one Polo you've sold 😅 Needed a little runaround and couldn't think what to get, then I see this on YT recommendations. Perfect! Thought about the Suzuki Swift or Toyota Corolla HB. The Swift is too small for me and the Toyota is 10 seconds to 62mph. I even considered a Honda Type R (would have removed all the embarrassing paraphernalia after buying it of course), but that vehicle really was just too large for my needs. But apparently, due to demand VW are temporarily stopping all new orders on the Polo because of demand! Incredible.
The power of ed ed editing
Standard and the car sounds so beautiful ❤
Great video. Nice car 👌🏼👌🏼
Just got my Polo GTI on Friday, so sick I would absolutely recommend 😊
I'm 26, looking at one on a lease and it's pretty reasonable for me. But I'm pretty stable financially ATM and insurance is no.longer a problem for me. Dunno about an 18yo but thanks for the review 😂
Great review, definitely think it’ll be my next car. Going from an A1 Black edition
Don’t do it mate it’s a polo. It’s nippy but it’s not quick. Better looking at a used golf R and save the embarrassment of driving a POLO
@@NA-mm5nb nah g you be trippin
When I saw one of these on the streets when they first showed up, my immediate thought was: Damn, that looks like a spiritual MK2 GTI successor... that can't be a Golf, can it?
And I was right. The MK8 Golf proved to be the disaster that I anticipated. The Polo was a happy surprise for a change.
If I like the interior and handling, this might be the first VW since the MK4 Golf that I could actually see myself driving. I thought about the MK6 for a while, but my custom VR5-swapped MK4 with upgraded interior, engine tune, suspension, brakes, intake and electronics/entertainment still feels just as good, if not better than any MK6.
For some reason, that Polo looks very appealing though. Catches my eye more and more often, especially with some good custom wheels.
I just turned 20 and own a Seat ibiza cupra 1.4l 2013 I am with admiral and pay 1500 a month. The car is a rocket and is cheap to insure, the best way to get cheap insurance is go on compare the market and get multiple quotes different days on the same car. I had many different quotes ranging from 3000-1500 and just save the reference number for each cheap quote you get. The quotes fluctuate because the more you look the more the price goes up. Also try it in the morning on different wifi connections from the one you have been using to get quotes from comparthemarket and clear all cookies. If your going for an ibiza cupra 1.4l get 2013+ with CTHE engine to avoid as many problems as possible
It would be very difficult for a young driver to afford a brand new Polo GTI, even on finance. However, I have a 2017 Polo GTI 6C, which is just as fast and good looking as the 2019 one, and I'm on PCP which costs around £200 per month with a £2K deposit. That's more than affordable for me.
Thank you Jamie. I'm due to pick up my Polo GTI next week. I know it's good but I'm bottling it a bit. I've just retired and found myself in such a lucky position that I can afford a car like this. I never expected to be in this position. I'm a bit gutted to let my 140 bhb fiesta go. But I will recommend it to others. It's really is nippy. Affordable (ish) too.
Did you pick it up?
FYI I have a polo se and Volkswagens finance options are really good and really affordable mines £185 a month
Hey never nock a small thing... Its what you do with it that counts. Good review as a owner.
Good vid bud
I'm 21 years old and I'm from Barcelona, I own one AW gti since 27 of september and I cannot be happier with it, is really fast, good looking, good exhaust sound, perfect for travelling ( i go snowboarding twice a month and I carry my BTT sometimes), don't waste a lot of fuel, good interior space and materials, girls love it... I'm so proud of owning and I would recomend anyone that is thinking to buy it to go for it.
I don't know how insurance are in UK but in Spain it costs me 600€ a year that wolud be like 570 pounds aprox.
Girls in the UK don’t love it mate. You get laughed at for driving a polo
Much better video back to basics,good review. Cost of pcp would help.
Really want to hear your review on the Dacia duster tci 150 prestige. The polo gti and golf tdi gt estate. Aka all the cars I’m trying to figure out which I want.
My god, I wish they sold these in the United States. Cheap, lightweight, fast enough to be fun on a backroad, and surprisingly sounds great considering how isolated the Golf GTI/R are. I don't understand why we don't get real hot hatches here.
Yo, I have the exact same car as you, Sam alloys, same colour. What a car.
Wouldn’t like to think of how much the insurance would be for a young driver
its a mine field with insurance
Wicked cars though
Like 3-4K for me who’s 18 with less than a year no claims so fuck that
2012 polo gti with 1 year no claims is 1200 buddy
Henry Stumpp got a 2018 s3 and my insurance is 2000. Twenty with three years no claims
I’m just trying to enjoy some ads and this man is interrupting to talk about a car?
prob gonna get bashed for this, but i use ad blockers.
Stage 1 remap takes it from 200 hp to 235hp and 320nm to 420nm torque. Mad torque gains
I got 242 bhp and 400nm torque on a stage one remap...love it to bits
Managed to gain 52 from mine
Hidden Gem that few Young Drivers look at nowadays are the New 1.5tsi Civic Fk7, 180bhp and insurance group 22 very reasonable.
Pretty affordable insurance wise, I'm 21 and only costs £1,108 a year. Costs more to insure a 1.0 Fiesta ST-Line
Great video! What's the beat in the beginning?
getting mine in 2 weeks and they are affordable, im 18. Doing an initial payment for half the car and then financing the rest. About 2.5k insurance with no black box on 1 year no claims. not too bad imo
Got one with manual. Only car I ever ordered from new. Well ... LHD market got manual transmision for half of year while LHD polos was assembled in Spain befor it moved to SA (from 11/2017 to +/- 6/2018). Ordered in september I believe and than waited for 20 weeks *SPOLER* was worth it. :D a lot of fun to drive, a lot of power for engine from tiguan and after year and almost 25 000km my consumption is around 8L to 100km (lowest was 5,6 highest around 9,7). I ordered a lot of additional equipment. Honestly some of them is useless or just disappointment, at least to me. Navigation is mostly useless and app-connect with waze do much better job, heated seats in winter get hot after 6-8km. Insurance is absolute overkill I paid around 5% of whole car price just this year in insurance. I only miss 4x4 since I switched from 3.0TDI Quattro :)
You did a review of a Polo 6C which also had the red line in the headlight lol
would never want a manual in these👍 my brother owns a new type R golf and his partner owns one of these and the dsg is insanely good
MATE!!! These Polo's are underrated... FACT!!! I had the version before then after the 2 year contract got a Seat Cupra 290!!!
.... NOW THE 2021's where contracts have got A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE LOL!!! I've signed up for the Polo Gti plus Special Edition 207 bhp version... this might not mean much but...
I'M SO GLAD THE CENTRE ARMREST EXTENDS LOL!!! LOVE AN ARMREST WHILE TAKING ON SOME DICKH?AD in a chavemobile BEHIND!!! 🤟🤟🤟😳😳🤣
thank you for the content matey!!!
The Cupra ARMREST extended so I'm happy now!!! 😁😁😁
Personally I think this is a 2021 mk5 golf gti, and I love it
I bought the Polo at around 18k (Aus dollar) as a first car and its fantasic, costs nothing to keep going, fuel economy is fantastic, maintance costs no more than any other car, would recommend 100%.
What the fuel economy of your polo gti?
@@CiroDiMaRzio12304 Holds 40 litres and does 600kms roughly per tank, a polo 2019 though not gti, manual, worth a look :)
@@soya4683 Yeah im saving up for one but i also spended some money to buy my mom a car so it takes a little longer from now.
got one.. love it
I'm a young driver but I'll get that car when I'm 60🤣🤣not financially stable yet
Volkswagen GTI range are really Swiss Army Knives of cars good at everything not great at one thing thanks Jamie one seeing great video
Im a believer that you should build up to this kind of performance, with lesser powered vehicles, until you know what you're doing. As a kid i would have loved this of course but we had to make do with fiestas and escorts etc. This kind of performance was the equivalent of a supercar, back in the sixties and seventies. Yes they have better brakes and safety features now but i still think a gti is too much for a new driver.
Theres also the fun of getting all you can out of a slower car. If you drove this at full speed, youd get the jail. Maybe modern teens are more sensible than i was....
Managed to get this exact spec but in a super rare Manual :-D yay
The word ‘Finance’ would suit better in the title rather than the word ‘buy’ nice vid btw 💪🏽
Mate what planet are you on no young person can afford this car or insure it. Will you actually pick cars that someone ages 18-22 can afford and also insure
1 word: Used.
@@wolfmannn2008 Find a used one online, pop the registration into comparethemarket or similar site, find a reasonable quote for 18-22.
Sonofa Seal if you go for a bit older models, like 2015, i found a GTI for 13.5k. With 2.99apr and the monthly rate of only 247/month.
If this is not affordable for the youth, I don’t know what is.
£247 per month only for the finance. Add another £140-£180 per month for insurance. Then add 28mpg average. Then decent tyres at £89-100 each. Easily £500 plus per month. How many 18-22 year old can afford this for a 2015 car?? My son is 29 and has a 2011 Renault Clio 1.2. It has 75bhp and costs £1400 to insure for the year limited to 3000 miles per annum. A Polo GTi would be easily twice that!! Some folk have no clue about real life.
I agree it is quite an expensive car for young drivers but your son is a mug if hes paying that unless he has a major driving offence and or hasnt got a no claims. There is no way he should be paying 1.4k...
Do you class young drivers as over 30?
I'd like to buy this but only if it had a manual gearbox still with the 2.0l engine
Didn't you do a 6C gti a while back 🤔
Great car! I went for the mk6 ibiza fr 1 litre turbo that’s nippy and insurance isn’t to pricey for a 19 year old
I've got a better idea: Used VW Up! on PCP: £125 a month 48 months. Insurance between 600-800 for young drivers. Potentially less if you've had your license for a few years.
The Up! Has won many awards and is widely regarded as great fun to drive.
Awsome little car
Should steal this is more accurate
Is this specific one the gti plus?
I hope they bring out a manual, that'd be super awesome
Still waiting to hear insurance cost's! And running cost's.
I'm just sad that this is not available in my country, Malaysia :(
Honestly same title for every vid ‘why young drivers should be’ ‘why you should buy a shite box Skoda’ boring bro
Love my shite box VRS
What song is that at the start
Since AET Motorsport Have blown up your Audi what's going to happen with that ?
What's the track in the intro called?
Next video title: Why pigs can fly, tapped guy
good video idea
Jamie_FYD 😭😭
What's the tune called?
My missus has got this Polo Gti. The lease is super cheap, £240 a month including tyres and servicing.
We're in our 40's so it is super cheap to insure. I don't think insurance is the biggest problem a young driver would have with the car though.
I borrow it from time to time :D and pop it into Sports mode. It is very powerful, quite light, 200BHP and buckets of torque. I've scared myself a few times! It gets squirrely under hard acceleration.
If I'd had this 20 years ago, there's a good chance I would have put it in a hedge. As a young person I thought I was the best driver in the world. With age I've realised that I am an average driver at best (like almost all of us!). I'm certainly a better driver than I was in my 20's.
I don't think this is a good car for a young person, they could well kill themselves in it :)
My man you got took i got mine a year ago pcp for 250 and its kitted out with options
I agree its too much for anyone inexperienced they will bin it definitely
I wish the 18 inches still looked like those ones, the ones on the 2022 facelifted model are ugly IMO, so i got the 17s with the intention of later swapping them
What's the insurance on this for yound drivers
Hi
Link to the Soundtrack please?😶
Just to let any you guys thinking about this car know, the insurance really isn’t bad on these things
Is polo almost as good as golf?
In your opinion what would be top 3 Polo models ? And is polo same quality as fiesta or Leon?
The polo is the mini golf
GTI GT and R line are top
I like u man everything u said i agreed with cant remember the last time that happened and that red line into the head lights is a big thing dont get it twisted bro
What’s this car like with insurance?
Just a heads up guys if you do get this car, keep your wits about you, I had this and it was stolen from me at knife point, seems people will do anything to get their hands on a car like this
For some reason all cars have got bigger, and this car maybe a smaller version of the new golf but the original mk1 golf is actually smaller than this Polo by around 200mm.
I would love to own this as I'm coming up to finishing my first year of driving in march. I don't see how i could afford this though :/ I've been thinking of leasing a car until my NCD is built up so i can in a few years finally get my own car which i actually want rather than what I'm stuck with at the moment. My only issue is being able to mod the car i couldn't live on that ride height. LMAO
Best off not even financing because the amount you pay (not including fuel and insurance or any repair costs if warranty runs out) you'll never see it again no where near it
@@A22Alex Yea right now i drive a Peugeot 207 which isn't too slow but after a year of driving it I've gotten to the point where I'm bored of it.
@@drewstreet4178 I'd rather pay a bit more than not have the car at all though. Obviously saving is a lot better but i think as long as I'm sensible and don't get myself into a deal I cant afford i should be alright. Also a lot of dealerships include insurance in the money you pay for a lease on the car meaning it should work out a little cheaper on the insurance side.
@@snaimz3479 honestly from owning one for a year now its great but way too much for a *young * driver in all aspects. Stay with a small engine for as long as you can get atleast 5 years no claims then look at something abit more expensive. It doesnt matter if you drive a pos for 3 years. After that you can get pretty much what you want. I have 4 years ncb and its 760 a year crazy cheap but its cause i dont have any points or convictions or crashes on the record. Keep to thus and youll be set
What do I pay Before I can drive away
Customer deposit
Deposit contribution
Or do I have to pay them at the same time
The contribution is what the dealer pays in to help
sounds quite decent
Really like the polo got dsg
I agree with all the comments saying young people can’t afford this but I also think it’s terrible advice to be telling anyone (especially young people) to finance a car.
I’d far sooner own a second hand car than finance a new one, no question.
A far better car for a younger petrolhead would be a lupo GTI, 3series or even a diesel Audi. You just don’t need 200+ HP in your first or second car.
I think for young drivers the regular polo is plenty!
If you can afford the extra i would go to Hyundai i30 n i would recomend that car to anyone its nuts i coulnt justify the extra 130 a month to the polo but it you can afford 380 a month for a hot hatch go an test drive that beast
intro beat?
Are you Maori bro?
So personally you’d finance a fully loaded polo with every extra lol 😂 lol your bank / finance company/ dealer must absolutely love you
Good video about the car and it’s performance but if you’re going to aim a video at young drivers then please don’t suggest a car with a 2.0L turbo charged engine. The price of this car is far too high for any young driver too afford unless they’ve had a lottery win and the insurance is unbelievably high as well.
What about us Old Drivers ? :)
Young drivers spending near £300 on a car per month, bit too much you think? And it doesn't even include the insurance :0
The 1.8 has the same torque figures too. Heavier car compared to the last. The last of the breed manual was a gem. German built too not this SA nonsense
I prefer the Polo R5 version
I’m 45, turned off after finding out there is no 3 door!! 🤯🥺 Gutted.
How on earth am I supposed to afford the insurance alone 😂
It depends of the driver but about 450 running. Month with insurance fuel and upkeep
Issues less with the content and more with the editing so many jump cuts I started to feel sick
Literage😂
Do you mean displacement mate
The sheer amount of jump cuts in this video
