I agree with you, but the 80 to 120 (which no one talks about) makes a huge difference for highway driving. The 1L polo does 80-120 in just over 7 seconds, the Polo GTI does it in 4.
For me, as a first car owner, I'd honestly say this is a solid option. Decent fuel economy, decent pulling power, good on insurance, and has some proper tech.
Thanks for the tip about the suspension and ride quality. When you are older, like me, that's important. I'm looking for a smooth ride. I will go for the Polo Style model instead. Cheers Emba!
It's a lovely-looking car which I enjoyed the review of. I'm in the last year of my 4-year lease of a 2021 POLO SEL and would love another Polo (I've had 2 previously, one was off-lot & the other I "designed" and I've loved them), but I want to get at least what I already have or better, but it's stupid expensive now. Not to mention I prefer manual transmission (I'm in the UK) and I would be forced to downgrade from 110PS to 95. Looking at a T-Cross now, my 1st SUV, which has a lot of the extras I would have added as standard equipment. Shame, as I do love the POLO.
Great review Emba, I like how detailed you yap bro 😁👍🏾 But hey we know that VW discontinued the base golf offering intentionally, so they could price up the polo. At this [polo] price point imagine what a golf Tsi R-line for would cost 🥵 So to avoid the obvious "contradictions" and backlash that's why the decided to do away with the golf. I think it was also on the premise that the polo is one of their best selling cars, so yeah easy way to milk the consumer until blood comes out! 😭😭🚮
@@BaneleHebe-lf2fd Mara Banele I never said it was wrong banna! All I’m saying is most drivers don’t recline their seat that far back and it’s a fair representation of the rear leg room.
@embakubmotoring you drive with the front passenger seat reclined so far back ? If you do that in any car the leg room in the rear is going to be bad 😂
If it’s not a Real R don’t ruin it by trying to fake the look It’s similar to Non M cars with all those Aftermarket M stickers But at the end of the day it’s all about taste and preference if the owner likes it that’s all that matters
What was the point of taking of the plates then? 😅 Anywho, I'd buy a second hand Golf 7.5 R line over this craziness any day and I could get one with less than 50km on the clock! Half a mill for a polo which isn't even fully specified even🙄. A 1.0 litre engine bafethu?!! 🤡
This car is nice can't complain in the real world there is no situation that will require you to move from 0 to 100 in 6.7 seconds

Unless you racing
@@SgtFuzzy80075but in most cases you dont drive 80 kmh in a high way. 😅
@jacqueslinnert2992 Correct, that's when you're overtaking a truck or a slower car, not while your cruising.
@@SgtFuzzy80075just modify the car😎
This owner got style ❤❤
I’m gonna buy this car, even if it takes me another year or so to financially get ready for it😩❤️❤️
All the best

This Christmas ill be visiting my family in a silver polo r line🎉🎉❤

I enjoyed this review❤🔥😉Not more than 15mins, and u didn't drive a lot😂🤝
Glad you enjoyed🙏🏽

Quite a shame the direction the Polo has taken price wise…
Such a beautiful car
Great Review as ALWAYS.
Didn't it have any issues? Some have persistent technical issues.
PS: What's the track you playing?
Nah not at all, the song is linked in the description…
Stunning
I would rather take the Polo Life DSG and keep the change.
I agree bro

Thank you so much 🙏🏽
That’s what I was trying to say, you said it better😂
Wow i love this car with all my ❤❤❤
Polos are so expensive these days. Rather just buy the base Polo Life
I really like this car, but the price? That price is outrageous!
VW don't play🤣🤣🤣
I like everything about this car but I cannot overlook the engine has 3 cylinders and for that price it feels like some sort of a scam.
Bro atleast a 4 cylinder 1.4tsi 😭
I won’t lie the engine is not desirable
@@jaymhlurbaloyi7813💯
@@jaymhlurbaloyi7813 thank you ,atleast bro🙏
Yeah id rather buy a lovely 2nd hand golf 7.5 GTi which u can get for even less than 400k...with more power,more space,basically same tech,u cnt lose
Nice❤
Why not concider testing the cars offroad bro, cos you mostly only test the cars in town, and sometimes we gonna need to go offline, it would be good
Please review an opel mokka, it's a really nice car🙏🙏
🙏🏽
I tried to visit the Instagram page, I can't find it.. 🤷

@@embakubmotoring thank you abuti.. I'll check it out..
The rear leg room visualization with your driver position are always questionable because you recline the seat like Polo drivers.
But that’s how I drive so….
What's wrong with that though?

@@embakubmotoring I get that, so the keg room is definitely better than it seems I suppose. Just saying…

I am stuck between this car and the Polo GTI.
If you can, get the GTI
It doesn't haave wireless charging?
It looks like it
It has
It’s an optional extra
Yikes!
I bought my R line in 2022.. the wireless charger and type c pots at the back are standard...
If it’s not a Real R don’t ruin it by trying to fake the look
It’s similar to Non M cars with all those Aftermarket M stickers
But at the end of the day it’s all about taste and preference if the owner likes it that’s all that matters
480.000 rands is cheap as fuck.
In denmark it is 780.000 rands for that model.
😳😳😳why???
Taxes are very high in denmark. I bought my polo r line 2022 for 45.000 usd.
this car's price is stupid.
they should just bring the normal golf
R Line is a scam. I'd think they'd at least have a 1.5 4cyl tsi engine in the trim level, but nah, disappointing. Rather the life trim level once.
They could have used the 1.4 TSI engine from the previous gen golf TSI
@@Bless_Mabunda exactly, king. It would make sense
I would rather buy myself a low mileage 2021 Polo gti
Fair point
Just buy a Polo life, spec it up and keep the change for fuel😂
If you choose this over a swift sport 😂 come on....
Over priced...
The pricing 😭😭😭
It’s bad
