2022 VW Polo GTI 2.0 DSG Test Drive Review part 1- (First Impression)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The long awaited test drive review of the facelifted polo GTI is finally here .The volkswagen polo gti has no rival in the compact performance hatch segment in South Africa. it used to compete with Ford Fiesta ST but it has since been discontinued in the Mzansi market. The only competition it has is it's bigger brother, the VW Golf 7.5 GTI and the toyota yaris GR but that's not an apples to apples comparison. It also shares the same platform with the Audi A1.
KINGS RED
engine: 2.0 turbocharged
power: 147kw and 320nm of torque
speed: 0-100 in 6.5s (238km/h topspeed)
fuel consumption: 6.4l/100km
price: from R489 000
R570 000 fully specced

CONGRATULATIONS MUZI my bro. The 2021 Polo GTI is my dream car. Even though the facelift it Fire but I still prefer to 2021 model. All the best my bro. You inspire me. 🙏🙏❤❤
I see your vision and love it,bruh.All the best,bruh,you got what it takes to reach those pinnacles you planning to.
Living our dreams! Big my guy. You're doing well. 💯
Great choice of a car, plus an even better decision for purchasing it as it enters the market💪 congratulations man🙌🤩
Was waiting for this review bro 👌
its the smile you make for me every time your on sports mode
I agree car prices don't really go down. Cars are only cheap when you sell your car to to the dealership 😅
Honestly when I was choosing my GTI’s spec i didn’t consider this red. The kings red really pops. I went with a pearl white and a panoramic sun roof for some reason I have been wanting a white and black roof car 🤨 i currently own a polo 2020 beats so im excited for the power 😎

White is also a great choice because the red GTI inserts and badges pop really well. On my car the red gti badges kind of get buried in the red body paint.
My guy is living my dream of owning that car, in a few years hopefully 🕯️
I'm sooo addicted to your channel 🔥❤️ You so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm binge watching your channel. Congratulations in this fire baby🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That red looks absolutely stunning in the sunlight. I currently drive a MK 2 Audi TT (red) but have been doing a lot of research recently on the new Polo GTi. I was looking at the white with black roof but having seen this video I think I prefer this red / black roof combination! I was looking at the 18 inch wheels but there doesn't seem to be a lot of tyre on them... and UK roads are not very good. I'm surprised the tyres on my Audi's 18 inch wheels have lasted so long.
Awesome Job on the Review. The road between White River & Sabie you can really enjoy the drive

What dealership did you use? And did you order it in exact spec you wanted - how long did it take if so? Nice vids man 👍
Love this channel ❤️
It’s hard to argue with the package VW delivered here (for a hot hatch enthusiast looking for a showroom car). In the past, most folks like me, with with 1 kid wouldn’t have considered the Polo because of interior space (rather the Golf). But the interior packaging of this new one is very good. Add to that the hyper price of the Mk 8, then this car is a winner.

Have driven the this car with the 18 inch alloys and the 17 inch alloys. I can confirm the 17 inch make for a much smoother ride. Even in normal mode this car is quite nippy. I rarely use it in sports mode as I live in central London. On the right road in sports mode this car is lightening fast. I bought it mainly for its looks. It’s a nice understated hot hatch.
Bafo you are really happy moerrr, this is what we love to see, that smile at 12:30 killed me. Ha no i am living my dream through you my guy :)

Sho bhuti. Is it wise to buy a used Caddy ALLTRACK for business which I'll used weekdays for transporting goods and people? And the reason it's a second hand, is because it was discontinued in the country and I doubt there is a new model for the ALLTRACK in any dealership. So I want to buy it for business and also buy a 2018-2020 Pre facelift Polo GTI but should I get the polo as a second hand or used as it'll be my weekend car?!

The only reasonable upgrade from a polo gti is to go for something more premium like a Benz or BMW. If you wanna stick with VW an SUV like T-Roc or Tiguan would be ideal. Spending +/-R900k on a golf 8 makes no sense to me.

Great review man. Love the clips of the exhaust. Gives a good indication of what it sounds like. Your commentary is always fire bro except you may have lost it a bit with the wheels. You gotta remember that the wheels are made to high standards (typically borbet or Ronal make VW wheels) so the 18s aren't gonna be fragile even if they look like it. Those aftermarket cheap replicas people put on their cars are definitely fragile. Not OEM stuff. The Milton Keynes in my view don't suit the car. The Faro's look much better but that's down to personal preference. If you feeling up for it maybe check out some Rotiforms or OZ wheels and use the opportunity to put some proper rubber - i.e. Michelin PS4 minimum :) The car will be next level i can guarantee you. By the way, you can also get Michelin cup 2 connect tyres in the 18s size. That's if you're keen for some track driving. The thing will be on rails.

I get that but the golf 8 is following the same trend. It is more expensive now that it was last year even on the second hand market. At the moment a fully specced Polo GTI should be going for R570 000 but some dealerships are already selling it for over R600k. Sooner or later it will be difficult to get the car for under R600k unless you're willing to order a new one and wait 6 months for it.

The 2021 model is at least R130k cheaper with less than 15k (kms) on the clock. They do go down quickly but in comparison to other brands they fair up very well in upholding the value. This generally goes to all VWs though

Easier to change to sports mode with a tap of the gear shifter in a downward motion and you tap it again down to go back to your previous selection instead of selecting the mode button and touching the screen selection.
@MuziSambo

Tapping the gear shifter only changes the gearbox to sport mode but if you're driving in Eco mode the car remains in Eco because the Eco symbol remains visible in the virtual cockpit, it only changes to sport when you press the button or the screen.
