2022 Polo TSI Life test drive (Engine, fuel consumption, cost of ownership)

Toomuch bro so hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🙌🙌🙌

[@AndileNgema57]

Cost of ownership is my favourite part because its realistic

[@itwasag.ijanejoke386]

The vibrations is because of the 3 cylinder, they inherently have imbalances because of the spaces between firing impulses, thats why previous 1.2 tsi 4 cylinder sounds better and smoother. If it was a 1.0 4 cylinder it would have sounded good

[@azharcassim2795]

Back in 2010 you would get a fully spec'd Golf 6 GTI for R355k. Amazing how prices have increased over the years. Nice review man. I'm liking the reef blue colour. Also, the fuel consumption is probably down to the gearbox. DSG is easier to drive efficiently compared to manual. It's difficult to be as smooth through the gears with the manual.

[@Bahle_Gaji]

Damn near doubled in price in a decade. Mad

[@azharcassim2795]

@@Bahle_Gaji Madness of the highest orda😅😶🤣 You know, even more shocking was the Golf 6R. You could get the DSG with bucket seats and DCC for just over R410k. Imagine that. I really can't see how VW is gonna sell as many Polo's as they hoped this time around. At the price tag it's going for there's many other options. But yeah. I'm kinda over this whole car buying thing at these prices. Unless I'm a super cheese boi and dropping 500k doesn't affect me I'm okay just driving any affordable A to B kinda car. I ain't gonna kill myself trying to buy these expensive things. Maybe I should ask the boss for like a mega raise. Let's see what he says 🤣🤣🤣

To all the guys watching this channel, listen carefully to what Muzi is saying when he goes over the numbers of what it takes to own a car like this. We all want to drive nice cars, which guy doesn't? But when you end up spending the majority of your net salary on a car every month thats when the reality sets in because you found a way to make the numbers work for you but guaranteed that includes a 35 to 40% residual?? But you don't own property and probably not much else that is worthy of being called an appreciating asset?? Live and learn guys and build your net worth first before thinking about driving expensive cars which are depreciating "assets".

[@wesleybijailall2201]

Great review Muzi, I used to own a 2019 Polo Trendline with the 1.0, 3 cylinder engine. The engine vibrations are normal especially felt when the engine is idling, the gearbox was actually quite smooth and if not over revved, the engine does perform really well. From three years of ownership and 40000kms done, fuel consumption long term was around 6.7 litres per 100kms. I upgraded to the Polo Life Dsg 85kw this year, the slightly more powerful engine does give better performance coupled with the smooth shifting DSG transmission, the engine vibrations are still present on idle. I do think the Polo is worth spending your money on, the build quality, safety features, performance and technology makes it a great daily driver. The resale value on these cars are excellent as well.

I bought this car end December 2021 and have already put 10 000km on the clock. I've used it around town and inter-provincial travel. We mostly use Double Cabs, Polo Vivo, and a 2017 GTI. I mostly travel alone and from time with family. Look I have to tell you, this is one of the best All-Rounders out there. You sit 5 People relatively comfy or i should say the space is ok. As an allrouder in this segment it gets a 10/10 for me. Engine Power on the long haul - 8/10 as you're never short of power. Comfort 7/10. Value for Money...well, you make your money back when you sell it(retains its value), the high insurance however is chipping into the good resale. I am paying R1800 on insurance and have over 20years driving experience. If you want a small, comfy, engaging car with a sporty feel to it, this car will deliver all of those. Me I will only keep it for 3 years, my economics is based on that. There are certain features that makes the Polo Vivo feel like its a more solid Build than the TSI. Your Financial Breakdown is so accurate. You can stretch the repayments and take a balloon which should drop your instalments to around R5500pm. My advice though, if its your first car and you're earning below R35k, do your sums well. NB, TAKE A FULL MAINTENANCE which will cost around R9000 or so.

[@MuziSambo]

Great analysis my brother, and also thanks for highlighting the issue of Maintenance plan because these new cars can be a headache sometimes. People tend to overlook the issue of resale value when they are shopping around for cars and that's something I also hardly talk about in my videos.

Ey mjita, I still hate VW for not bringing the Golf 8 1.4 TSI here in SA. Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad car but a golf is much better than this. Now we have to look back at the 2020 7.5 model with low mileage , but why? All for the sake of these silly SUVs, we'll buy them still ,we have no choice. In terms of fuel consumption ⛽, the automatic is a little bit more efficient. A 1l 3 cylinder engine paired with a manual transmission doesn't work well all the time as you have to rev it hard to get it moving, at least it should be 1.4 or 1.6 then the figures will drop significantly. #50k_4_G20
