5 Things I LOVE About My VW Polo 9n

[@Jomizify]

I love the „shelf compartment“ under the dashboard, very practical imo

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha yeah agreed - mine is currently filled with tools, definitely a bonus of the car 🤙🏽

[@StotheUBeats]

I have a Vw Polo 9n ,2002, 1.4 TDI , 75HP, 5 door . it's my first car and i love it. It has 224.000 KM and still works great. My mods: I added a few stickers - for some more HP lol. Ambiental lights Ignition light ring Neck Support pillows ( driver + passanger) ( it's safer..because you know ..the acceleration is brutal) DVR Camera + Reverse Camera Classic look wheel covers I'm planning to get a navigation sistem and a stage 1 chiptunnig ( i'll think about this.. because idk if it worth .. it's like 250 euros here in my country) Loving your Vids!

[@CarsWithJB]

Stotheu Sergiu ah man you have 20 more hp than me before you put the stickers on - now you must have at least 30-40 more hp with the stickers haha! Your list of mods does sound super cool - I'm definitely going to start fiddling with the lighting soon I think. But I want to do a big project on the car in the near future so might just save for that. Thanks for the support and thanks for watching!

[@VluggeJapie22]

You had me with the neck support pillows.

A remap is definitely worth it on the 1.4TDi. makes a huge difference!

[@StotheUBeats]

@@adamcalver4415 i think i will do it, even though it s an old car.. But it will be fun lol.

Just picked up the 1.2 polo, shes slow and steady but a wonderful little babe to drive and I love her

[@CarsWithJB]

Nice - the polo is a great little car, hope she serves you well!

[@Bvbarmy899]

I have the same exact color Polo 9N, love it to death. It's my current and my first car. I already broke it several times but the fixes weren't too expensive. I will start modifying it this summer, am super excited!

FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SO EAGERLY 😍 You're tempting me to make my own video about my 9N 😅

[@hollibrooks2652]

I've got a Vw Polo S 2003 1.2. my first car and so much fun to drive. just ordered some new hubcaps and thinking about adjusting some other bits too. such great cars :D love the pointless polo project btw, keep up the good work :)

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha nice - glad you like the Polo! Good luck with your project, appreciate the support 🤙🏽

[@lidge1994]

Had mine since December, passed my test in june, love it!

[@lidge1994]

Also I'm 6'6 and fit pretty comfortably

[@CarsWithJB]

Glad you're enjoying it - such a great little car! 🤙🏽

[@lidge1994]

Cars With JB biggest issue for me is the pain in my foot if I hold my foot just above the brake, it's a really uncomfortable position!

[@will_0018]

Ive got a 9n3 and i completely agree with reasons 1 and 2 XD. Cheap mods are the best!

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha nice and yeah it's such a bonus!

[@eoinmaher455]

I had a red 9N for around 5 months. Loved the car, found the engine alright and the body roll hilarious! Unfortunately she gave up after around 6,000 miles (probably my fault for rubbish oil) but I was sad to see her go! Currently have a Peugeot 206 1.1 and far prefer it to be honest, (looks better, handles better, the one i have has only 60K miles etc.) but I'll always miss my little Polo 🙂

[@CarsWithJB]

Sad to hear that she gave up so quickly! But yeah the 9n really does have a certain charm to it 🤙🏽 the 206 is a nice little car too - and with great rally pedigree which makes it even cooler haha - thanks for watching!

[@Stuntman707]

My 9n has been very cheap to run and maintain. However the engine definitely struggles above 40mph or on hills.

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah for real, any sign of a hill and you're screwed - I hate when someone gets in your way, then moves just before a hill!

[@RICHtheLAWSON]

Great to see a youtuber with a normal car. I've owned several cars from the Vw group, however I've been most and impressed with Peugeot, my 508 ticked all the boxes. The the car I had the most fun in was a Vw Bora, it reminded me of my old Fabia saloon but with a turbo and boy did it grip the corners like a fly on steroids

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha I feel like we all have to do the best we can with whatever we have - I feel like having the Polo allows me to learn a lot of more technical/maintenance/mod stuff in a safer environment! Interesting that the Peugeot was the best for you, my mum's had 2 of them and they were so unreliable! But the Bora I have heard is a great car/a lot of fun to drive 🤙🏽

[@RICHtheLAWSON]

@@CarsWithJB I used to be an anti pug lover. It wasn't until I purchased 407sw with the sports pack for work my attitude to them changed. It had no faults with it and I used to treat it like shit. I saved up a large sum of money and was able to be looking at nearly new c class mercs but was so disappointed with the build quality I thought I'd take a punt at the new 508. The rest is history really, super comfy, all the toys you need, great looking car, cheap to run and tax, quiet within the cabin and a great all rounder. I'm still toying with the idea of getting another bora for some fun.

[@Bameninghong3010]

I have a Polo 9n 1.4 Fsi. I have it for almost two years now and i love it. Its not fast or big but its perfect. She is beautiful. Its a polo special and got the special rims. Its quite cheap to maintain and i just need about 7 liters per 100km. The handling is perfect but in my way the center of mass is a bit to high in my opinion. The only mods i added so far is a k&n air filter for the extra 0.1 ps. She will get this year a complete rework so i can drive it the next 2 years without any problem. Oh and i love your videos^^

[@CarsWithJB]

She sounds amazing 🤙🏽 nice that you have the special edition too - a friend of mine had one with red leather seats in it too which was so cool. Did the air filter actually make a noticeable change at all for the performance? Thinking about doing the same to mine :) thanks for the support and thanks for watching!

[@Bameninghong3010]

It just make the engine sound deeper a bit and the air intake sound while reving is lounder (these sucking noises). In my opinion i have a bit more torque in lower rpms with it

[@MontagnaD]

I love the color of your 9n, I have a silver 2005 9n 1.6 liter 8V with 100HP with 145.000 KM the car is pretty fast and costs little :D I'm looking up for mods in the next months

[@fluxx674]

Absolutely adore my 9n, she's a 5 door so shes practical and got the power to carry 5 people with ease. Although theres 133k miles on the clock, the engine is still solid and i hope it lasts long enough for me to get round to doing little mods. Loved the video(:

[@CarsWithJB]

Fluxx cheers for the support! What little mods are you considering? The 9n definitely deserves it... I reckon you should get some wind deflectors, I feel like they look better on 5 doors than 3 doors

[@fluxx674]

Cars With JB Yeah I wanna add wind deflectors and I love what you did to the interior with the carbon fibre so I definitely want to do that to mine.

[@CarsWithJB]

Fluxx great shout - the carbon wrap is difficult but not impossible, I'll definitely be getting wind deflectors too even though they don't look as good on the 3 door imo - hopefully get them on and video'd before the end of the month :)

[@fluxx674]

Yeah i wanna give the carbon wrap a go but im scared to mess it up, but it will improve the look of my interior 100%

[@ΑλέξανδροςΓαβριηλίδης-β5γ]

[@madmanalatundra1997]

I just got a 9n yesterday and it’s a 52 plate with 76,000 miles it needs a one or two things done to it but for my first car it’s perfect

[@DominathorHD]

I have a Fiesta 1.25 75HP from 2001, I know its a pretty normal car and cheap to buy, but I love it and its fun to drive! And it seems quick at some points too hahaha but it runs great overall and it's cheap to maintain! Been with it for 2 years now, already has some history! If you treat them well they will reward you, keep it up!

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha good to hear, my dad has the same car as his runaround! Surprisingly quick off the mark is what I'd call it, and yeah very good on maintenance. Agreed - put in the work and the car will do you well!

[@LiamODonnell100]

Great video im thinking of getting a polo for my first car except maybe with a 1.4 engine for a bit more speed. Your video was really good wasn’t bored for a second of it

[@CarsWithJB]

Glad you enjoyed it! The Polo is a great first car, you could consider going for a slightly newer 9n3 as well, better equipped and probably lower insurance

[@LiamODonnell100]

Cars With JB thanks for the advice and reply. Do you know if the newer 9n3 would have more speed than the likes of your polo. Also wondering what year and miles has your polo got?

[@akaLegend312]

I own a Seat Ibiza 6l 1.9 TDI @ 131hp as my first car, which afaik is based on the same platform as the Polo. I love it, even though there are a lot of things that grind my gears (pun intended I guess). For a first car the size of these is just great because you can fit in almost every parking space. And I actually have a lot of equipment such as automatic windows in the front and back, 5 doors, automatically foldable and heatable mirrors, 6 gears, good amount of torque and power, pretty good sound system and because it's a diesel it even has very good mileage. I really like the editing style you do in your videos keep it up.

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah they're pretty much the same car, the 1.9TDI is a decently strong engine too from what I've heard. Didn't realise it was a 6-speed though! Sounds like a beaut for sure. Appreciate the support boss, plenty more to come!

[@akaLegend312]

@@CarsWithJB Has about 310Nm of torque so it's pretty fun to drive 👍 Though I guess the cupra with a gasoline engine is even better.

[@Birmingham_racing]

I had one as my first car tdi sport 130 remapped it to over 170bhp. Having a big engine upfront made it nose heavy so I’ve had the rear slide out on a few occasions. Ride quality was terrible that’s why I got sick of it. The polo I have now is much better when it comes to comfort

[@dangerousdeo5113]

This video you have created is so spot on with having a first car. Especially having a wonderful car like Penny. I am currently in University and I purchased my first car a few months ago. Its a beautiful Ford Fiesta MK6.5 and its a 1.25 freedom. Its a 56 reg (2006) and its an amazing car. Considering alright its what some people will class it as "old, slow, not so modern" as I have had people say. My car has everything I need. I am lucky that I even had an amazing car. Still modern for me and always will be throughout my life owning it. Probably after uni I will still be a proud owner of it. The car itself has modern features like AUX and A/C and I have even put my little mods on it. No matter what. You should always go with a car from 2006 or under as you will appreciate the car you get. Like what JB says... you build an amazing relationship with your car and you will care and nurture it. Funny enough my car is booked for a timing belt change and full service in January. :D

[@CarsWithJB]

Appreciate it boss! Glad you're enjoying owning the Fiesta, I would suggest going on a little driving holiday in the car to really cement that relationship with the car - I travelled Europe in my old Skoda and it was one of the best experiences of my life!

[@dangerousdeo5113]

@@CarsWithJB That is the plan hopefully. After my cars well deserved service me and my mate are going to England to look at some computer shops etc. :P

[@iMagic16]

i had a clio II PH2 as my first car and I'd recommend it over the polo any day, looks better, cheaper insurance, surprisingly reliable for renault, electric windows, ac and 75bhp. it does 0-60 in 10.6s which is pretty good for a starter car! the 55hp polo is just crazy in such a heavy basic car! i got mine for a grand as well only 67k mi....

[@CarsWithJB]

That's a nice first car for sure - I love the first cars people get it's so great to get these little hatchbacks haha. Love how you have 1.5x the power in that as well - I don't understand why they did the 54bhp - takes like 18s 0-60! Thanks for watching!

[@SamwiseClashRoyale]

I own a Golf 4 1.4 16V. It’s really nice and comfy, has a good sound system and is fast is enaugh for my first car. The only thing that sucks about it is the engine light in the dashboard is on for the second time now. Luckily i got insurance but still annoying

[@CarsWithJB]

That is annoying - consider getting it checked in case it's a faulty sensor!

[@Vorriio]

sick video, ive got a 9n and am trying to mod it slightly and agree with all these points!

[@CarsWithJB]

Vorriio thanks for the support! Which variant of the 9n do you have? Definitely let me know what mods you do - I'm making some plans to take my 9n to a new level!

Only bought the car last week Friday and it’s booked in 9th of February for a remap

I have a 2003 Polo 9n 1.2 after writing off my first car in April (2009 Toyota Auris TR 1.33) when I hit a traffic light in Waltham Abbey. I’ve had the Polo since May and it’s been an alright car apart from costing me lots of money to repair lol

[@CarsWithJB]

Ah sorry to hear about your crash and sorry also about the repair costs! You're definitely unlucky on that one as mine has been so decent since owning it.

[@AshleyMonck]

I’m afraid the little Polo is also sadly no longer. A 57 plate Audi TT pulled out on me right at the last moment at a cross junction. It was my right of way as I was on the main road. I T-boned the TT and it span out 3 times and reared through someone’s garden wall. My Polo had just shunted the TT out the way and carried on to park itself at the side of the road. Completely bent all the panels at the front and damaged the radiator and the airbags went off as well. I was quite annoyed as well because I changed the front brake discs and pads the day before as well!

[@CarsWithJB]

Nice - when cars do big trips you fall in love even more for sure - I did 2536 travelling around Europe in my Fabia Estate and that was unreal! But because I had that Estate I was spoiled for boot space, which is probably why I find the polo's a bit small. Thanks for watching!

I love overtaking people in my 2003 Seat Ibiza on the Autobahn at 180 km/h which is about the absolute max this car can do... I'm always afraid my engine blows up though because its the unliked 1.4 liter... It sounds like a tractor and vibrates in strange ways sometimes and since I've owned the car you could always feel a knocking vibration at certain rpms but It's done 20.000 km like that and it doesn't burn oil...

[@CarsWithJB]

Paddy Crabb it's actually the ABS light on mine and it's due to a faulty ABS pump! Which is an easy fix but I actually think I prefer my car without ABS (I know that sounds ridiculous...) - I did have the engine management light on my Skoda Fabia before this though (same engine etc) and we cleared the code etc and it kept coming back and it turned out to be an emissions sensor that had gone - I would suggest you just run diagnostics to find out what's up with it then work out if it's worth your time to fix!

i have a peugeot 207 1.6 HDI 92hp, 135k miles, i love how it looks and even how it drives, low and weak torque is its only downside, any suggestions?

[@CarsWithJB]

Try a new air filter and a full oil change just to get the car running a bit nicer, then use that as a platform to work from - maybe a remap is in order?

[@chouyt2158]

@@CarsWithJB did that, its not like there is a problem with it, i have also a mk7 vw golf (the 2.0 tdi with 5 speed mt) and its very fun to drive because how much torque it has, i also had a 208 hdi (same engine as 207 basically) and it wasn't this obvious, the car originally has horse power but weak torque and that can be so annoying specially when cruising around in the city or in twisty roads, my question was, any suggestions for down to earth modifications without going too crazy?

I'm thinking about buying a 9n but I'm wondering which one should I take the 1.2 engine like yours or the 1.4 tdi 75hp

[@marcocal8620]

It depends on where you live and how you will use the car, for me personally, I would go with the 1.4 TDI, as I own one myself, it’s reliable, has amazing torque, good fuel economy, and it’s pretty fun to drive, the only downside would be the idling sound when cold, the 3 cylinder diesel does sound a lot like a tractor, but despite that, it’s and amazing car and I think you’ll be fine with either the 1.2 or the 1.4 TDI.

gives my age away ..big time... my first car was a datsun, yes, datsun , not nissan sunny and i loved that car

Haha crazy, but I imagine it was a cool first car!

@@CarsWithJB it was and an update on the green polo.........it passed could not believe it only second car i have ever had thats passed first time!!

[@milladhotak4086]

I have 2003 polo After 1300 km i must put 1 liter oil in ...

[@CarsWithJB]

That is definitely an issue with some of these old VWs, luckily mine isn't having an issue with burning oil rn, but my old 2004 Skoda used to go through it so quickly

[@CardenasBlack]

Just got a polo 1.2 2006 5dr, gettin loads of lower back pain from the seat as i cant lower it at all... 😩

[@CarsWithJB]

If budget allows, get the GTI seats in there - they tilt/lower and are far more comfortable!

[@FishyDnB]

I love mine too

[@CarsWithJB]

Such a great little car 🤙🏽

Sorry bro I dont agree. If you have the cash of course always go for a brandnew car as the scratches, errors and lil bumps will tell your story and no the story of someone else. So if you buy a used car with faults, those are not yours, this was not your story to tell. Just my two cents.

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah fair opinion for sure - difference with a new car is the depreciation, I fortunately won't lose any cash on the actual value of this car!

[@akhashdhillon2159]

I got those exact dust caps loool

Haha like £4 on Amazon 🤙🏽

[@stber8705]

I have to sell my 9n after 4 years. Feels bad, man.

[@CarsWithJB]

RIP I cry every time - how come you're selling?

[@stber8705]

It used to be some sort of civil police car ( not kidding) before I bought it at an auction for retired authority vehicles and because of that it has an automatic transmission. I never saw that so I thought that would be pretty cool. Witch it somehow is, even though it is even slower and uses more gas(perfect for driving hangover home from partys the next day btw.). And after driving it all the years and having to invest not a single Euro for repairs I had to get it to the mechanic 5 times last month for different reasons... the mechanic also told me that the transmission makes strange noises so it would be a good idea to get rid of it. Still feels pretty bad, it was my first car. I had other cars but this thing is just so enjoyable and relaxing to drive. (Sorry for bad English.)

[@CarsWithJB]

Ah that's sad - cool that it was a police car previously though! Definitely not fun to see your first car go, I really struggled watching mine get taken to be crushed :( But hopefully onwards and upwards to better cars!

[@PauloSilva-gt7cp]

Amo este carro ❤️ e ainda vou comprar um modelo 9n desses em nome de JESUS!!

[@chong7632]

If you do own a Polo 9n , do try and get a 1.8L swap :D

[@CarsWithJB]

I want the 1.8T asap!

[@mwu1309]

Or just get the GTI version which I have . Fast and brilliant. So easy to tune .

[@samuelalexander6219]

1.9 SDI 9n is where its at😎

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha more powerful than mine by a long way, but a diesel?? 🤷🏽‍♂️ thanks for watching!

[@samuelalexander6219]

64 bhp not too far off yours lad!!

[@dylanpower1438]

What is under steering

[@CarsWithJB]

Opposite of oversteer - so rather than sliding the rear of the car out like a drift, the front end slides and doesn't turn as well as you would expect. A wise man once said oversteer means the rear end of your car hits a wall while turning a corner, and understeer means the front end hits a wall instead!

[@Tyler-ky3wo]

i'm going to love my first car a VW Polo it's not a Mustang it's not a Camaro it's not a Challenger it's not an Impreza it's not and Evo it's not a GTR it's not a GT86 and that's is not bad it may not be any of those cars and that's not bad because trying to have a sporty car as your first is really dumb especially if you have a budget of £600

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah it's gunna be a lot of fun, I love my polo!

[@CarsWithJB]

Ah is man like Jeff Rey close? Thanks for watching!

[@TheGeordieTiger]

Love the videos! Honestly, the Whiteline BWR19Z anti roll bar kills all understeering. I've had nine on for two weeks and it takes corners like never before. 150 quid and you can confidently take the corner as fast as you like. Even better as there as not too much power to the driven wheels regardless. Check out Vperformance for their install and summary. They have a before and after video too, which prompted me to get one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWq0fK1qftBnh9E

[@CarsWithJB]

TheGeordieTiger thanks boss! Yeah I saw the video and it looks very promising - I'll almost certainly buy one soon but I've just finished uni and am particularly poor right now haha, when I'm back in the positive it's one of the first major modifications on my list :) thanks for watching!
