As a VW fan and a vivo driver, the pricing of this one is ridiculous. Starlet is about R289K manual and comes with almost everything. R346K you get 2 airbags. The fact that you have to pay extra for PDC sensors where as Baleno lower spec comes with sensors at R226k.

We went over 900km on one tank on our 2019 GT. We bought it for 260k then in 2019. It never gave us any problems so far and I am glad we got a polo. Sometimes cheap is expensive.

As in Less is More lol

For the first time in my life I saw a Vivo Mswenko... Yeah, another Vivo with with some stickers, I saw one on Tiktok, a dealer had a "special" model, they basically took a trendline, added black wheels, door handles, and some other bits and bobs from the black style and then added JBL woofer, plus some "GTS" stickers

Thanx for a very honest review with such accurate feedback. Yes, this car is definitely overpriced and not specced well enough. Trying to buy one now, but VW doesn't even offer proper discount. But still i just love this "old" Polo. Driven properly, it's very light on fuel and the drive itself is fantastic. Yes sure, a Havalo Jolion is muuuch better specced, but show me one person that's complimenting it's fuel economy.... And remeber, there's NO service plan included in the Vivo's price ! But if you're a VW guy, you'll probably look past all this car's flaws and go with your gut and buy it..

Couldn’t have said it better myself 🔥

This is 200k the most. 150k on top is pure thuggery

U can say that again 😂😂😂

Spot on. Honest review compared to other reviews I've watched. Lots of room for improvement in spec.

Another fantastic review. Thanks for the upload bru.

Great video, keep it up! One thing, i thought all these new vivos come with 6 speed boxes

VW is taking us for a “Ride”, when it comes to pricing. Whats even worse is that you have to pay extra fir things that come standard on other cars or their competitors cars. Come on guys VW is taking advantage that South Africans are loyal and a big fans of the brand.

Great review, one more subscriber in.

VW has lost a lot of customers 🤞 the pricing is crazy

What I like about your reviews bro is the honesty in your opinions, if that really makes sense. But yeah VW generally loves to milk the market longer they can - this polo shape has been around since late 2012 😩

I chose the polo 6c 1.2 tsi over the polo vivo GT. More spec and over R100 000 difference in price. I just wish it came with a carplay radio for a modern infotainment experience

CarPlay can be retrofitted or simply downloaded on your car it’s software after all

I'd choose the used Opel Corsa 1.4 Turbo any day or rather a 1.0 Cosmo

Excellent review as always. The price is ridiculous. I'd get a suzuki baleno gl or glx

Great Car but the price is a no no no for me & i can get a 2019 POLO GTI second hand with less than 50k KM on the clock for that amount....even a a GOLF 7.5 second hand with a service history for that amount.

Nice presentation

Pricing are increasing on the 1st February, mind that the prices were also increased by 1st December last year, Polo Vivo GT is about to get expensive 😢😢. Also other competitions has electric rear/front windows

Got my GT in November, I looked and looked for one that comes with LED Headlights be it as standard or additional extras but no luck 😢

It's 2024 and people are still surprised with the pricing of VW vehicles..It's ridiculous and even dealerships asking price for a 2nd hand polo with over 100k is insanely high..Great review tho👌

South Africa is really a pure consumer country. 🚶🏿‍♂️🚶🏿‍♂️

Not worth it, very expensive for 2014 tsi polo high line with minor upgrades

Nice car 💥💯🙌

Besides good resale and being very efficient, everything else is negative 😢 Insurance is expensive Hijack risks Very expensive to buy No features😢 evrything is extra

Hi bro can you do a review for Honda ballade sedan 1.5, 2023

For that price tag you can just get yourself in a fairly used Haval Jolion 1.5 Luxury. A much bigger car which is more practical and advanced than the polo gt 😂 and this is sad because there are so many people who don't do proper diligence on car prices. You might find out that you'd have bought a much bigger car for that price of a much smaller car such as the polo unless it's preference related.

I will get a Suzuki baleno and be happy over the VW any day❤❤❤❤❤

One thing we need to understand about VW is that is still a German though it's a bit cheaper than 3 brands VW it's never cheap and it will never be cheap but we are still buying it that's why you will still see them on road

You could get the 2021Rline, a good one of you have R340k to play with

Is it possible to add a sunroof on this vivo gt?

On the next videos please try to show us under the hood, it would be nice for us car lovers to see the goodies and compare... Just a few seconds.

I would buy a 2020 polo gti

O would rather have the suzuki baleno GLX, more car for the money

amazing car, can anyone tell me how come the Polo Vivo Trendline 1.4 produce 55Kw and the Comfortline with the same 1.4 engine produce 63 Kw... how is it that same engine produce different power output??

Yes it’s possible. Internals are slightly changed or detuned for the vehicles

R355k for a vivo GT thats ridiculous. S.A had lost their plot the economy is killing the lower incomes if you earn R15k after deductions dont bother buying a car.

This car can move yooo😂but the pricing 👎🏽

The price is insane i mean like what...!!!!!😮😮.With that money i can get standard new polo tsi for less than 350k

I stand to be corrected but I'm almost 100% sure the LED lights are not standard it's an opt extra. But I do stand to be corrected.

They’re an extra.

If you wanna buy a Vivo - Leave the GT buy the Vivo 1.4 Comfortline. All you do is add the 16" wheels, take it in Blue and rather spend your money on a maintance plan and your done.

It makes no sense to me

I am a vw fan so dont kill me, but steering is heavy,bcz of the springs and suspension sporty, i wouldnt buy it for more than R300 i have the prefacelift bought it 2500Km for R265K, if you love and enjoy driving and your broke its good ,the power is toxic....but R350k is BIG NO,look at something else,but i wouldn't change it for the world,,the i20,renault not for me

The pricing is nuts. I would never sherm. I'd rather get something else.

Never!

This car is worth it. We've had the pre face-lift since 2019, and it's amazing, but I wouldn't recommend you spend more than R300K for it👊

I wont buy such crap, would rather buy a 7R with 60k km for that same amount

Nah man - the GT price is mad

Rather buy a Polo TSI 1.2 Highline. This Polo Vivo GT is too expensive with the discomfort that is experienced on the adjustment of side mirrors and rear windows

No longer people’s cars too expensive for a starter pack no 😊

VW is bananas ka price. No thank you

A six gear car is the best 👌 😅😅😅

With that money, go get a CLio 5

I wouldn't buy. Rather buy the other versions

Brand new polo with Turbo 81 killowats🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ 24 year old Toyota rxi no Turbo 120 killowats

VW is pricing themselves out of the market. They shouldn't be suprised that Toyota and Suzuki beat them in terms of total units sold. Next they be sitting with their mouth open watching the Chinese brands take over their market share. The worst part is that VW quality was reduced. Not improved. We get cheap feeling cars that are overpriced. Just ridiculous. The Asian manufacturers will end up embarrassing the Germans. Not gonna lie. Anyway. The review was good. If it wasn't for the price. You'd have me convinced to purchase this vehicle as a daily.
