@carsauce Would you recommend the regular Polo at around 35k or is there a better new car for that price point? I don't think anything beats the Mazda 3.

Really enjoy watching MattBrandCars reviews informative with few jokes 😀 car looks sweet, do you think the My22 Cerato GT compairs to the Polo GTI, Thanks for all the great reviews 👍

Really enjoyed your review, had a 3 door Polo GTI a bit over a decade ago which was a ripper with APR tuning. However I must admit it all feels so old now once you've stepped into an electric car (LR3). It's not *that* far off a RWD 3 now, and over the life time of the car I'm sure it's a valid comparison.

Cool video 👍

My old 2018 Octavia RS had that speaker rattle when the fake noise was coming in :/

If I’m leasing to get rid of at the end of the lease the the VW, if I’m buying it to keep long term, I20 N.

bought one, most fun little car ever, was expensive but if you take away the body shell a lot of the Enginering is golf . and that motor is the same 2Lturbo so can take all the bolt on bits the GTI and Type R can take, tho limited by putting the power down via the front wheel diff, but a stage 1 engine and dog tune is on the cards next for mine,

good review, Id ask you to test the cup holders with a cup though. All I can tell from this review is that they wont take a massive water bottle. I wonder if they will fit a coffee cup.

I can confirm they do indeed fit a coffee cup from the likes of Starbucks etc. They also fit a standard can of drink nicely with no slip or wobble.

No. The money supply was expanded 2020-2023, by about 30% (look up reserve bank statistics in your country) - By definition, the value of the money in your pocket has decreased by 30%, because economic productivity sure as hell didnt rise by 30% in that time period. This is true textbook inflation: The devaluation of currency. Hence prices will rise by about 30% by default assuming everything else is stable.

How are you pulling 7.3 as the fastest time to 60? Was the road wet or something? Here in EU when tested it puts an average of 6 seconds flat, with many people testing as low as 5.7

Here in Australia I got 6.5 seconds with draggy on launch. Few things to note in the video, firstly, two heavy guys in the car. Furthermore, and importantly the guy reviewing cannot drive. You need to ease the throttle more. Carsauce is simply full throttling, bouncing of 6k rpm and just wheel spinning. If he maintains a good launch and maybe starts at 4k he will achieve far better grip and a sub 6 second time. I also find the tires are not the greatest. The PZ4s I am running do a far better job. The 6 speed dsg is not the problem, however the slight detune from 153kw to 147 does effect the 0 to 100 time by .200 seconds perhaps?

The seven speed gear box might make a differnce which we dont get here

Seems like a lovely all-rounder. However, VW have long abandoned the ‘spirit’ of the GTI badge… a small car with a low-displacement engine punching above its weight class. The last VW to do this was the mk5 Polo GTI with the 1.4 twincharged engine… and boy did VW screw that up on the reliability front.

Dying laughing I'm subscribing hahahahahaha

The Ford Fiesta is dead here in OZ no need to compare any other Hot Hatch to it.

I20n for it's overt hot hatchness, Polo is nice, but understated, not a problem, but i20n is more to my taste🙂🙂🙂

Polo gti for sure , hard to touch the all round capabilities of VW GTI’s

the whole time you keep harping on about a limited slip diff when its got the XDS which is arguably just plain better in a car like this...? those tires are an absolute travesty though

Price is fucked, but you guys made me laugh

The first question that needs to be asked is : Have the Polo's reliability been improved?

Thats shocking. The 0-60 is meant to be 6.5

Well I was in the market for one - But Ended up with the i20N instead . The Price is over the top . And it is too much of a 'Cardigan Car' eg it has taken the GTI out our GTI these days . Perhaps it should be name the GT . If I really wanted one I would get a Mark 6 - . This was just too boring for me . As the ST is no longer in Australia well you know .....But always enjoy your review Matt - they are super fun but informative

I can hear a lot of gear hang

It's the same price as a basic Golf, so my wife is picking her new polo gti up tomorrow. Dont neec a basic golf.

I do like the tartan seats but im sorry for the price you would expect leather seats. I got a mk5 gti because your videos and The quality is far superior to that of the mk8.

Too many cost cutting instances with this car. The high prices, with all of the hard plastics, lack of bonnet struts, under bonnet paint and the lack of physical buttons indicate that the company is after maximum profits post Dieselgate. Essentially getting customers to pay off their fines that they are responsible for. Poor form VW.

$46k? No thanks ..

VW couldn't even fit bonnet struts. Where is the paint in the engine bay and under the bonnet? Looks 👀 like a poverty pack in there.....This will be the last ice powered Polo.

50k for an unreliable mini hatch your kiddin
