New VW Polo Life Full In-depth Review | The Best Value For Money Polo? |

[@embakubmotoring]

Quick correction, the Polo in manual form makes 70KW and 175nm, the DSG life and R-line make 85KW and 200nm.

[@J-d7f]

Bought one of these last year, it came with a Sunroof, the new and updated infotainment system, reverse parking camera, parking assist, sensors, IQ drive, lane assist and ACC to name a few features Considering that you don’t even get some of these specs on an entry level Mercedes makes this car special and well priced. If you feel like it’s expensive then opt for a vivo or a low spec version For me i wouldn’t have it any other way, this a car i can drive for years without getting bored.

[@lesediseemela9856]

The Rena Clio V has the best quality interior. The materials used inside are quite solid. I agree with you, the sweet spot in the range is the Polo Life DSG. But people will still go and buy the R Line for 500k.

[@mashilodipela9701]

Clio is the beast ma guy

[@atobee2595]

Volkswagen is German for “People’s car”. The whole idea behind the brand was to bring mobility to an ordinary citizen. Not anymore! Ridiculously overpriced. What sad for us South Africans is that these are actually built right here at home but no price cut whatsoever. I love that people are waking up and buying Suzuki instead.

[@michelle_0891]

it's actually value for money though I love every single feature on the Polo life dsg my brother bought,you're spending money for a much more better experience..this facelift is more refined than the 2018 model.❤

[@dumisanilemeko2852]

​@@michelle_0891no it's not,you cannot justify the prices for these

[@wandilengcobo378]

⁠​⁠@@michelle_0891 It does look good but when you factor in ,the engine has 3 cylinders than it makes question the car’s potential .For me NO.

[@clementmahumane65]

Awesome review. Polo is worth the money to be honest especially when it comes to resale value.

Great review indeed patiently waiting for the POV drive

Well done bro I've been waiting for this review 🙏👑

[@embakubmotoring]

Thanks a lot🙏🏽

[@munyaiasa3231]

Multi colour digital cockpit select into profiles is an optional extra the one you can view with rev counter and speed kilometre, the one you're driving is standard active info display if I'm not mistaken

[@H.I.I.T68]

Nice review bro. Just a small correction. This car delivers 70kw and 175nm as the manual. The Life DSG delivers 85kw and 200nm. So whilst I agree that this model is around R100k less than the R Line, to make a fair comparison it should be against the Life DSG which is R408k as the R Line only comes in DSG😊

[@embakubmotoring]

True, I missed that, thanks for the correction 🙏🏽

[@embakubmotoring]

Great car for sure, but it’s quite expensive…

[@SelfTaughtDataAnalytics]

@@embakubmotoring True, but I'd also hate the idea of buying a car just for the sake of it.

[@clivemanzi7494]

@@SelfTaughtDataAnalytics banking with investec means a higher salary or an entrepreneur right? I would also assume that you don't really care much about performance since you didn't consider a low mileage 2022 polo gti for R520k

[@SelfTaughtDataAnalytics]

@clivemanzi7494 oh noo...I was not comfortable buying a pre-owned. I did not necessarily have the time to do research for it just to make sure that it ticks all the boxes. The current price of my Rline is 510k. My car has a mileage of 3k, meaning I'd easily return it if I had buyers remorse...well... I don't. I am generally happy.

[@clivemanzi7494]

@@SelfTaughtDataAnalytics I fully understand your situation and Ialso get that you're not stressing about performance. When you actually think about this, for a car of this price bracket it should come with a 5 year/90 000 km or a full maintenance plan because if you want a piece of mind motoring, you'll need to extended your service plan and also buy an after warranty because the dsg gearbox cause fail and cost you a lot of money. If you think about the actual price of your car, it's R460k plus around R50k for full maintenance plan for 5 years.

[@embakubmotoring]

I’ll look into it…

[@tumim8271]

My Friend's partner bought this car while my partner Bought 2019 Megane GT with 12k km on the clock. The car was going for R295k and my Partner wanted to buy same Polo as her friend. 6 months later she thanked me because her friend is paying over 10k p.m while she's paying 6k p.m incl Insurance. Megane is premium inside and that 151Kw is enough to keep up with many sports cars. Drove from CT to PLK last year, Ne ke Cruza ka 150km/h without feeling like i'm speeding.

[@embakubmotoring]

No doubt that's a good choice, hopefully it's reliable in the long run too...

[@lutendomasala1890]

Nice review broe. I have a friend that drives the same car, MT fully speced at 450K which is rougly 9K monthly and insurance at 2.5k. Is it worth it though to pay over 1OK for a normal fully speced polo? 😅

[@embakubmotoring]

It’s hard to swallow that amount, but if it’s fully specced then I can at least forgive it😂

[@joshuamadolo-wd5sw]

Which one is more comfortable between the polo and the swift glx

[@embakubmotoring]

Relatively the same, but the suspension in the Polo feels more sophisticated
