2023 VW Polo Life Sedan Price Review | Cost Of Ownership | Features | Practicality | Interior |
The last remaining Volkswagen Sedan , the Polo Life Sedan comes in cheaper than it’s SUV siblings but retains a lot of features as standard and impresses in terms of practicality.
In this Review I take an in-depth look at what living with the Polo Sedan is like taking into account , fuel economy , driving comfort , interior comfort and the overall Cost Of Ownership.
Special Thanks To VW South Africa

I definitely enjoyed this review. I wasn't really sold on this polo sedan, but after your review, I definitely wouldn't mind having one . I'd get the interior colour changed immediately after buying it though. And also , @VWSA can you please borrow Mr How Much a golf R 😁 for a week but a month is also fine 😏😉

My thoughts exactly like yours😍
Nooooo I'm going for this I was thinking about hatchback but now I've changed my mind 😭😭😭 I can't miss this Kenneth saden is really nice
We recently bought a brand new one. REALLY nice car and so practical in many ways. Yeah the seats… but I’m a very OCD kind of person and so far no mess. I was surprised on the 2 airbags deal. Not really sure why VW decided to do this. Drives REALLY well! Sound system (8 speakers) are very good. Such true sound! Definitely a HUGE upgrade from the older version. About the speed… It’s a family car. I don’t need to RACE to my destination guys. It has enough torch… thanks for sharing!

Blame your roads and safety regulators. I think it would not be road worthy in a place like the US.
Decent car, I love it. The interior is a deal breaker though.

Great stuff sir let's give VW a thumps up here. Such a decent sedan for 360 with no additional extras at cost, at last they are doing away with their additional extras. What is a deal breaker for me here is the interior, you will forever be at a valet.

It looks really good. Not quite as good looking as the hatchback but it's not too fat off. The power output is uninspiring but it gets the job done. As for that light interior, looks good but cleaning is gonna be a pain😭 Overall this new Polo sedan is a good package for the price (weird to say that about VW these days). Enjoyed the review. Keep up the good work MrHowMuch🔥 Ps (I also washed the car and then it rained a few moments later so I understand your pain)😭😂

great car... not because i drive a polo sedan ..but coz of the experience i've had with mine ...puttin laggage in the sedan is a breeze..long distance travels are a breeze .. saves fuel ...not the best wow car out there but certainly does what its meant to .. running costs are quiet low ...in fact after your warranty's done ..still can do minor service like changing oil and spark pluggs all by yourself ... good aftermarket value as well... and yes ai driv an old old polo ...but sure wou'd still buy one to keep at home for daily driving and cost savings .... just pains me when i see the Bolt and uber drivers crashing them... and yes we will buy them even when they save ..heyi heyi ,,high risk car ...we will still buy amaPolo ...anisyeke .. great review budd ..! i think you need to also do some design review elements to every car you review and compare that model to the previous ones jus to give people a clear understanding of what may have been improved ... so we can distinguish between a facelift and a new model ..without just saying it is..!..

I have a 6-speed automatic version of this car, trust me the 6-th is really useless. The engine is so underpowered that the 6th gear can only move on a flat/downhill road. Even the smallest incline will require a change down. I wish VW carried their 1.5 TDI engine to this car
