Is the VW Polo 9n a Good First Car?

[@CarsWithJB]

If you're looking more broadly at first cars, here's 10 of them with cheap insurance for under £1,000! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJe8Ya2sZrJsqrM

Hey mate I've got the VW polo 9n 1.4 I see ur a Watford lad ive just brought a set of 16inch bbs Montreal to go on there but need a refurb and was wondering if you wanted a meet up lol p.s I need help on this car lol

[@benzovlogs4278]

could you do a review on the Peugeot 206 as a first car

[@richardbutler9430]

My first car was a 2011 Volkswagen Polo 6r 1.4 SEL DSG. Odd choice to have an auto as a first car but it was fantastic. 51mpg, comfortable and cheap. If I see it for sale I will buy it back.

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah fair enough I rate that as a first car - wish I still had my first car!

[@123cnt]

the 1.4 16v petrol is alot better than the 1.2 in my opinion. There's alot of power and i can easily go up a hill at 60mph in 5th gear and still have disposable power. also the 0-60 is around 11 seconds in real world driving and is a great first car.

[@adiriko]

I can agree with that. pulls like a champ on 5th gear on 100+ kmh

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah that is pretty solid - if you can get insured on it I'd recommend!

[@thetourettesgamer8851]

I’m going to start driving lessons soon and I would love to own a mk 4 polo! I know some people don’t like the headlamps but I think they give it personality.

[@thetourettesgamer8851]

Cars With JB thanks dude

[@maltesegamer98]

My first car was a Polo 9N, and I don't regret it at all. I like the looks, which is quite an unpopular opinion. Other than that though, it's quote spacious inside for its small space. Five passenger fit comfortably and iy has decent boot space. The stock sound system is Blaupunkt and it has decent bass as is with great mids and highs. LOADS of storage space: under the steering rack, under both seats, under the glove compartment. I'm 6'4 and I don't even have to move the seat back all the way, so that's amazing cause I don't even fit well in a Honda Fit. I have the 1.2 12V version, so it's not really fast at all, however it eats corners like a champ (Especially with the wheels I've put on it: 16inch 215 width). I've never had any issues with the car in two years of ownership so far except for the front left wishbone needed changing. Other than that I just service it once a year. Insurance was also cheap because it's such a small engine. I've fallen in love with the car in my two years owning it so far.. However I might be selling it this summer, which I'm sad about, but at the same time I'm looking for something with a bit more power. I'll definitely miss my little Paula though.

[@CarsWithJB]

Sad to hear that you might sell Paula! But definitely onto bigger and better things, so I'm happy for you 🤙🏽 and yeah you're correct about the storage for sure, there's literally somewhere to store things at every angle in the car, it's insane

Just a random bit of knowledge about the Polo 9n. They are quite nimble round corners. Although slow at getting upto speed, they handle incredibly well around bends provided you don't tap the brake before turning.

Also returns 60 mpg combined, has plenty of mid-range torque and has most of the toys you need in a car, I'm very happy with it.

Ideal first car...got to be fun, comfy, cheap to buy and run, fairly reliable (but more importantly cheap to fix), nice looking, not too fast, be able to carry 5 people but still be fairly small and easy to park; plus it should definitely be a manual. 2015 Ford Fiesta with the 1.25 engine. Easy. Older is fine, but that's the best generation by far. It's slow enough that you can thrash the balls off it without doing 150mph, which is important. Sure they're common, that just means there are loads of parts for the inevitable crash. Anyone who doesn't crash a Fiesta clearly hasn't learnt to drive fast enough to graduate to something faster. I don't make the rules... There are very few good reasons to not buy a Fiesta as a 1st, 2nd or any other car: - Size/practicality, a Fiesta will not carry 5 kids or tow horses. - Comfort, they're fine but not ideal for really long journeys. - You go to regular track days. A Fiesta is still a good choice, but it'll have to be the ST instead. - You want a car with seats/climate control that can simultaneously keep your beer cool, your curry warm and blow moisturising air between your arse cheeks. This is why I drive a Lexus. Cooling your buttocks with dry air is asking for trouble. There is no way to make that not sound weird. I still can't write short comments ☺

Haha the comments may be long but always worthy of a read (even if a little late) - but I think the key thing I took from this is I need my butt cooled by moisturising air 🤔 but yeah I think a first car needs to be something cheap and cheerful, nothing super special or over the top, and you have to rag it into the ground before you can move on to something else!

Which buildingyear

[@spencermaddz6653]

Got one myself 1.4 petrol quite fast for its size

[@ginj4ninj4180]

Ideal first car is always difficult, going from the experience I had with my K12 Micra I wouldn't change a thing it was an absolutely perfect first car and I've no complaints about it. Obviously I can say "oh I'd love the new Toyota Supra" or something, but ye we all know you should drive something that is cheap, relatively reliable and won't get you in too much trouble as a first car

[@CarsWithJB]

Completely agree - it's gotta be something that'll keep you safe and won't let you down basically, think about going mental with cars further down the line 🤙🏽

[@user-lz2su9lx5r]

My dream first car would be a ep3 type r

[@olliedixon2305]

Saaaaame, but I doubt it will happen for me as insurance is a lot 😞

[@Itskascade]

Biggest Boy enjoy a 1.4 polo, they’re still so much fun and you’re going to want to learn the driving techniques before picking up a monster of a car

[@CarsWithJB]

That's a fair shout - nice to dream! Insurance would just be a killer 😢

[@Duboixofficiel]

My dream first car would be a 991 porsche 911 targa gts 😅, realistically speaking though something like a turbo mx5 or an old boxster would be awesome

[@harveypage9962]

Fa3mana good luck with your insurance mate!! 😂😂

[@Windrichting69]

Harvey Page If he doesn’t live in insurancehell known as The UK he should be fine

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha yeah I'd very much like the same... but yeah a Boxster as a first car in particular would be nuts!

[@conorwaters1176]

Hi mate good video. Where did you get your radio and the carbon trim for the steering wheel?

[@CarsWithJB]

Carbon trim I bought the wrap on eBay then wrapped it myself, and the radio was a christmas present from my dad - think he got it from Halfords!

[@danimlinsek9891]

I have a polo 1.9 TDI (2005 ) its a car dat my dad have given me... And i love it it sticks on the road and funn 2 ride it has crappy seats but otherwise good .. i want 2 give him a face lift (making it look nicer (cooler) and imm looking for advice wut 2 do too make himm look better interior and exterior i have an idea for the interior but i realy dont know how 2 aproche the exterior and i need ur help 😁

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha with exterior my suggestion is to take it slowly - make one change at a time, too many at once and you might regret it!

[@tagapiouplayz3737]

When I get my first car, I need it to have plenty of space but I don’t want to be rolling around in an estate or a car with expensive insurance. Any recommendations?

[@CarsWithJB]

Depends how much space is plenty - I'd always recommend the Fabia Estate personally, but you could always go for a freelander or something like that which is slightly more spacious, or even just a step up from the superminis like the Golf or Mazda 3

[@tagapiouplayz3737]

Cars With JB ok thanks for the advice!

[@benstclair4]

In the states, I have a VW Rabbit mkv (decently comparable to the Polo but has the power options from 2009) and it is my first car. What color is that blue?

[@CarsWithJB]

Ah very nice - my blue is Summerblue - Paint code LA5F 🤙🏽

[@Adam-ce2fe]

I would like to get one but I feel like it's too underpowered for motorways

[@CarsWithJB]

It is definitely underpowered generally, but if you can insure a 1.4 you'll probably get past that issue pretty easily 🤙🏽

[@garrytheninja5404]

My ideal first car would be a bmw 116i but I will most likely get a 2013-2017 1l eco boost fiesta due to the free car tax and I know it as I will have learnt to drive in it.

[@Itskascade]

Tom gamer bluemotion also has free road tax. 1.4 TDI feels good with 150ftlb

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah that's fair - I think the fiesta will do you well anyway if you go for one!

[@garrytheninja5404]

Cars With JB I do have to wait another year and a bit to find out though

[@cainex9578]

I’m getting a polo 1.4 2003 tomoz as my first car

[@owentubeurlife4376]

Have you done a video on installing the radio as I’m Tryna do mine but I can’t seem to get it to work as I am confused on the colours.

[@URBANxSKULLS]

Please review the 2004 clio and the 2006/7 clio

[@CarsWithJB]

I'll see what I can do!

[@thefarouxxx7383]

I got 1.4 wald. I want to make it sporty 😞

[@CarsWithJB]

Just think of a few smaller mods you fancy doing and work up to making it sportier, take it easy and don't make any huge changes to early!

[@gabrielthecolorblindsoul6994]

I have the 9n3 2007 1.2 63Hp=64PS and the engine is really lazzy especially over 4900 rpm and under 2400. I would like a ford fiesta 1l turbo 125 hp as a first car.

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah I can imagine - I used to have that engine and it did struggle!

[@alexmcghie7629]

What would be a better first car, a Suzuki Swift or a Renault Twingo?

[@gregking6470]

I love my swift I've just got it as my first car and it's class, I got my insurance as 1300 so pretty cheap too

[@CarsWithJB]

I'd probably go for the Swift - better build quality and generally really good reviews

[@techdante5511]

how was your fabia and polo if you sit 3 in the backseat?

[@CarsWithJB]

Absolutely fine - they have about the same amount of space tbh - Fabia was less hassle as it was a 5 door though!

[@techdante5511]

@@CarsWithJB ok thanks :)

[@toplespecah666]

Need advice Polo 1.4 2004 46.000km on it It is a good reliable car? I’m going to use for daily war ( go work with traffic jam ) this will be the only one car I’ll use so I really avoid stay on garage to fixing some problems Anybody can help?

[@0mar.1]

@Cars With JB would the insurance be a lot for a 2006 vw polo gti?

[@CarsWithJB]

For a first car maybe, try getting a quote with the factors I mentioned in my recent video on insurance and see!

[@Elia0274]

I also own a 9n, and I am thinking of tinting the rear windows. Have you thought about doing that?

[@Itskascade]

Elia0274 I’ve done mine, it looks good done properly (which mine isn’t). Unfortunately the back window was quite hard but the rear sides look great

[@CarsWithJB]

I'll be doing mine as soon as I get the balls to give it a go!

[@Ryzilience]

My first car is hopefully going to be the Corsa B and need to add some extra lights on their too haha.

[@CarsWithJB]

Fair shout - definitely a good first car! I'd love to get some rally lights on the Polo haha

[@adambennett805]

I couldn't have been happier to own a 1.4 16v 9n when I realised my sump gasket was leaking and in a 1.2 9n you need to remove the gearbox to change it

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha that's fortunate - I'm trying to keep my 9n going a little longer on the 1.2 before an engine swap

[@adambennett805]

@@CarsWithJB Thatll be interesting. I might look into that too because I'd love a diesel just for the fuel economy
