So far, I was fortunate to always buy new cars. Obviously financed, but thanks for the advice on what to look for on a used car. I'll also share with families when in the market for a used car.

The best of the Polo 6 in my opinion.
Very informative vid, thank you! I'm doing a test drive in a manual 6C GTI tomorrow and some of these tips will come in handy. It's at 64 k but it has some modifications, so I must be careful. But with 3 doors, manual shifting and black rallye-style rims it's quite up my alley. I really love the look of this generation of the Polo. It reminds me of the old Golf models like the Mk3. I drive a 2011 Polo diesel right now; it's at 144 k and it has never let me down.

Love to see this 🙂, thanks for watching brother. The look also won me over and has since I first layer eyes on this car. It's a good one, even more reliable because manual. I hope you enjoy your test drive, let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know

@@carswnova After a close inspection and a lovely test drive I ended up purchasing the car. Price was quite low, lower than a recent 110 bhp+ Golf with similar mileage here in Holland. Everything clicked, and the people at the garage gave off good vibes. I get a year of warranty on it, including the aftermarket parts. Manual shifting, 3 doors, sport pack, and it has the old school red-grey upholstery. Very happy man :) Here is a pic: i.imgur.com/EGwUK9C.jpg I'm going to replace the blackened logo's for original chrome ones, and increase the ride height a bit. Air intake, exhaust, suspension, dampers, mirror caps and rims are aftermarket. They'll also inspect the water pump... And it comes with somewhat fresh Michelin summers. Seems the previous owner was a bit of a rally fan (like myself).
That was the best review ever I actually like the manual I thnk it's way better than the DSG I hope they still have them around

They were out for a limited run my brother so it's actually been a little difficult to find one. But it's actually more reliable than DSG half the problems are gone with a manual. Also. Thanks for watching 😃

I have you agree with you, I prefer the manual over DSG. A button attached to a module actuating solenoids isn't my cup of tea. They tend to have some catastrophic reliability issues as well. Manuals always win

Speaking specifically about the DSG automatic, its different from the normal torque converter automatics, it has its reliability issues that relate to its complex design. The one optioned with this version Polo GTI used a dry clutch system which resulted in the car being unable to shift and grenading the clutches and mechatronic unit, worse if they have not been maintained which is what mostly happened. The manual is easier to service, less complicated because you are the one operating the gears. I'd suggest you go for a course, these gearboxes can be fun if used correctly
