Spot on, appreciate the correction🙏🇿🇦

[@user-bs8rc9el5t]

Good video 👍

[@thato_automgijimi]

Thanks for the visit👊

[@sebeiremembrance2534]

Great review. Most of those extras are not worth it (especially for a polo). For Polo I would go with the following extras: 1) Tilting and sliding Panoramic sunroof 2) "Torsby" 6.5J X 16,Black,Diamond-turned, tires 195/55 R16 and 3) Radio "Composition Media". You don't need the self-park as you have front and rear parking sensors. I got Polo Life DSG in White with only the said 3 optional extras and very happy. By the way it has become apparent that the Keyless system makes the polo much easier to steal.

[@siyandamsimango1192]

Thank you for this, I almost went for the keyless entry😭💔

[@thato_automgijimi]

True💯 most of the optional extras should've been added as standard. I would add the same options as you did. It's very sad that VW Polo has become a victim of their own success, those IQ Lights are beautiful and makes the car standout but yhoo in town they will steal them, already it's a trend in Hatfield, Pretoria💔 I will cover a video on this soon. Also you're correct with the keyless, hence I always prefer the classic remote lock and check all if all the doors are locked. If anything looks suspicious GO, VAYA fast in a hurry.

[@loyisodespova9981]

My favorite car💯Danko Mgijimi

[@thato_automgijimi]

Polo Life ke complete package and you won't be disappointed

[@lwazidywili4214]

Which extras would you recommend on the r line?

[@jeandreahuman4938]

[@thato_automgijimi]

[@thandomeselane]

Is the DSG a better option or the manual?

[@erichfranz08]

Nice car man👍

[@thato_automgijimi]

Thank you brother🙏

[@bongangombane4926]

Thank God, my parents bought this car cash. 🙏🏽 it has no sunroof, Mine has multicolor digital cockpit, composite media, rearview camera, 15" tyres. All for R400k.

[@thato_automgijimi]

Can you're parents please adopt me😢😢😅 wow, congratulations on your new baby🎉🎉

[@kamomokgabudi5854]

Bro, how do you make those lights flickering like that at 1:34?

[@thato_automgijimi]

It's actually a camera reflection when the lights are on.

[@Hoshiarpur-PB07GAMING]

Dream car I have old modle now discontinue in India we are waiting for new polo .....

[@caven7056]

Polo is the new golf

[@thato_automgijimi]

Most definitely, even the price suggests that.

[@WillaNoordman]

Yeah but different

[@vuyosithole5487]

Please could you do a review on hyundai i20 fluid 1.2

[@thato_automgijimi]

I will definitely look for one and review it for you🙏

[@thato_automgijimi]

Hi Vuyo, check the review for Hyundai i20 1.0T Fluid. That video was dedicated to you👊🙌

[@vuyosithole5487]

@@thato_automgijimi thank you so much

[@raunak2011]

Very good review. But may be you have missed to say about all dimensions of this car.

[@thato_automgijimi]

Thank you for the great suggestion, I will definitely add that on my next videos🙌❤️

[@driftgxdly]

Anyone know how I can get my hands on that cluster .. turning my vw life sedan into a Virtus gt project…. I’ve seen that that’s the exact cluster that is on the vw Virtus in India

[@thato_automgijimi]

That would be massively proper💥💥 have you tried to search on the internet and please give us updates on the project🙌

[@doobsie8944]

My attorney said tsi is not for me so angazi ngoba Mina I'm going for it cash

[@thato_automgijimi]

Polo Tsi has its pros and cons, I advise you to go for a test drive and check the competition as well. Go for what would make you happy

[@doobsie8944]

@@thato_automgijimi but I love it!

[@thato_automgijimi]

@doobsie Then go for it💯 you won't be disappointed. Kindly contact Thomas Lekolwane. His details are in the description box. He will help you with getting your dream car😉

[@azharcassim2795]

I like the idea of paying it cash. No need to throw money down the drain in the form of interest.

[@WillaNoordman]

Go 🚶‍♀️for it

[@khutsountold3177]

Can one still get a demo of this with low mileage at an affordable price? 🥺😫💥💥💥

[@thato_automgijimi]

Yes you might get a demo with less kilos. Especially the Polo 1.0 PA (Not the Polo Life), saw some going for roughly R299 900. Please check the contact Person, Thomas. He will get you the best demo deals🤝 ohh and please say, you got a referral from Auto_Mgijimi😇

Don't make that mistake, Polo ke sunroof🔥🔥😅

[@karrenmagolego]

True, cars are generally getting more and more expensive but these polos are overpriced and packed with unnecessary options, but what can we say, it is business.

[@artificialidiocy1665]

1.0L💀💀, might as well fit a bike engine it's probably 3 cylinder too. No thanks I like my cars at 500cc per cylinder at least

[@thato_automgijimi]

Clearly this video wasn't meant for you then, you shouldn't have bothered to comment, but thanks for the view.

[@WillaNoordman]

F..k it's expensive 😩
