VW Polo - Everything You Should Know | Beyond the Badge

[@katlegomokgola8768]

Thank you so much for this video,mate.🙏🏿 Polo’s are still, and will forever be a big W in South Africa 🇿🇦.

[@SherwinR89]

🤣 Polo nation 😂. VW POolo. Bought by people who dont know a thing about cars who bought their licenses and drive Ike ar$eholes 😂

[@Silver-um7jb]

My first car a few years back was a 2014 6R, immediately fell in love. Broke my heart selling it but I bought a mk7 golf. The golf lasted about two months as every time I watched a polo drive by I wished I was in it. Now as I type this I’m sitting in my 3rd polo - a 2015 6C GTI and have a big fat smile on my face, greatest wee car in the world!

[@maxmaksimow8964]

My heart broke when I had to scrap my 22 year old Polo mk3 classic highline. Seriously, I almost cried. In my country they say "old love doesn't rust" They're wrong - My Polo was rusty. Now I have Polo mk4 Cross my second love.

Adored my polos - my first car was a black 6n2 1.4 TDI with a Gti kit. Then upgraded to a 6C 1.0 blue motion which was so faultless that it kept me in the VW world and I upgraded to a Golf R back in 2019

Here in Brazil,the MK4 9n2 use PQ24 platform ,this car was a game changer for VW Brazil,as a owner a 2011 Polo ,is a great car.excellent daily driver. Excellent video,great history about a great little car !

[@danl4252]

I think it’s pretty cool that the MK3 GTI Polo came with Xenon lights as standard, in around 2000! I have been looking at the MK5 facelift GTI as something I might buy in the future, coming from a MK4 Golf. Although I’m not sure what to do yet. But it does seem to be a very neat little package! Cheaper tax than my Golf, quicker, an extra gear, and LED headlights. Only drawback really is the initial cost and slightly less space (not that I need it anyway)

[@wellzy9819]

I recommend going for the 9N3 mk4 polo with the 1.8T 20V. This has a 'cup edition' wich has 180hp and a loads of tuning room. Had this car for 2years until somebody crashed into mine🥲

[@danl4252]

@@wellzy9819 damn that’s annoying. I’m not sure they made the MK4 Polo Cup edition for the Uk market 🤔 or if they did they are extremely rare. I did end up getting a Polo 5 GTI. With the 1.8TSI the later 16V engine EA888. Had it a year. Love it!

[@BeyondtheTherapyDoor]

I own a Mk 5 Polo GT TSI, 1.2 TSI with DSG, it's amazing for a small car. Very quick, very stable at speeds over 120kph, it doesn't even feel like it's going that fast until you look at the speedo and you are well north of 150-160kph, over the speed limit and very dangerous speeds for Indian highways, though it's much safer compared to regular indian car market, and is incredibly fun to drive. It's the best small car that one was able to buy in India as now it's discontinued. The new facelift (Mk 6) was never launched in India with people preferring mini SUVs which is sad, imo.

[@synthwave7]

Just purchased a brand new Polo TSi with DSG - fantastic car - smooth, fast, quiet and light on petrol - an evolved vehicle. Polo is the best selling vehicle in South Africa for many years.

[@StephyonYoutube]

I’ve owned a Mk4 1.9TDI (bug eye) and the Mk5 GTI and once it came to trade in I ended up with a Mini Cooper S as the MK6 had outstretched the compact 3 door hatch I had loved, also although still very well built I find later VW’s don’t quite have the same premium feel they once did, like the big plastic insert on the dash which can look ok but equally feels somehow cheaper

[@Random-nf7qb]

The Ibiza had the Golf 3's engine bay and the Polo's rear suspension. The Classic and Variant were just rebadged Cordobas. The issue with the engines is that, because the rails are closer together, there's no space for the larger gearbox of the EA827 family. That's also the reason there was no 1.9 TDI Polo 6N, only SDI

[@PatalJunior]

I really enjoyed the video 😁! As it reminded me of the MK3 Polo I owned nearly 16 years ago. I loved the car, hardly put a foot wrong until the ECU played up badly a few times 🤦🏻‍♂️. Just one part of your video which stuck out, was when you were talking initially about the Polo's competition in the car market. You mentioned the Citroen AX, but a Citroen 2CV clip had been edited in? Very good video overall though, your passion for the car and make come through really well!

The 6n2 is a great car, as long as its the 16v engined versions, they handle like a MK2 Golf but look like a shrunk in the wash MK 4 Golf. I love mine and so much MK2 Golf stuff fits with no problems. Drop a 20v Turbo in and they are insane.

[@kristoffer3000]

I've had both a 6n Polo and a Mk2 Golf and both were just straight up disappointing, they drove... okay but absolutely nothing more than that. The thing that really killed them for me though was how awful the seats were in both of them, both are cars I've not missed for even a second

[@theonebabbarshere1614]

Derby is pronounced "darby" 🤦🏽‍♂️😏 They didn't introduce the stop start in the 80's either, but it was developed and introduced to VAG Group cars in the "naughties". The latest addition to my collection of VAG collection of cars is a 5 door 2001 Polo Classic Saloon (Derby) TDI, with 107k on the clock, that shares the same platform as the Mk3 Golf, Mk2 Caddy, Seat Cordoba, Ibiza and Inca (van), that I bought as a barn find (parked in a barn for 5 years, covered in bird poo) project, that someone was about to break for parts on Facebook. For the MOT (which it passed this October 2022) I fitted a new clutch kit, new front disks/pads, a CV boot and changed a headlight bulb. The only other addition has been an Alpine bluetooth head unit, to bring it upto date a little plus a mop and valet. The Cordoba is the exact same model as the Polo Classic, with a few minor differences I.e. the rear lights and lock location of the boot and dash. The front end is identical, as is the running gear, transmissions under the bonnet. With its 1.9L TDI engine my car is a lot of fun to drive and surprises alot of new cars off the lights (when the mood takes me), plus it will run on vegetable oil without modifications during milder weather (spring/summer), if need be. 😉 Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3 Golf, Seat Arosa, Polo Mk1, Mk2, Mk3 6N/6N2 and Lupo wheels are all interchangeable too with my car as long as they're the 4x100 fitment, which is good if you get bored with the look... Mine is on Mk3 Golf Convertible wheels at the moment which I picked up for £50 with tyres! 😏 The interior is the same as a standard Polo 6N2, but again it is interchangeable with the models named above, only the ones from 1994 onwards though. All in all it's a rare, unusual nippy, fun but practical car to drive daily, that I'm glad to have saved from the crusher. 🙂
