VW Polo Beats Review | A Car Designed For Young People

This week on Buckle Up, Rob reviews the 2017 Volkswagen Polo Beats. The Polo is always accused of being boring so VW have teamed up with Beats to create this version aimed at a younger audience. But can the extra Beats bits transform the Polo or are they just a gimmick? Rob has all the answers...

I’m in the UK & I’m 76! The sound system is great. The Sub-woofer being built in really helps on space. My Beat is a 95PS which is faster with a 0 to 60 in 10.1 secs. In England we have speed camera’s on Motorways and everywhere else now, so I’ve slowed down a lot. The 95 Beat is quick out of junctions & is a nice ride over speed-humps too! My last car was a 1992 Nissan Pulsar GTi-R rocket! The Polo is likely to keep me out of trouble! I didn’t get a Fiesta as they get stolen & the insurance is higher. I’ve put a spare wheel in the back. Not having one as standard is plain stupid. When a tyre blows out having no spare wheel leaves one helpless. A canister does not get anyone home!

Enjoy it!

The Beats edition tried to hard to win yoofs with its stripes and red seatbelts. All the other Polo are already cool enough. Good car altogether

[@BuckleUpShow]

I’ve always liked the Polo but the beats edition does slightly whiff of desperation to attract younger people to the brand. Whether it works or not I’m not sure but if people do end up going for a Polo over a Fiesta or a Corsa, I think they’ll be very happy with their purchase.

You have said it all: I'm 76 and want the basic bluemotion 1lt 3 cyl in silver. keep making videos.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Thanks Norman! Wishing you well!

[@motomc6962]

Seems like a really good car I’m considering getting one but looking at the 1.2 tsi version

[@BuckleUpShow]

It is! The 1.2 is probably the pick of the range as it strikes the perfect balance between economy and speed.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Oh nice, hope you enjoy it!

How did the Parcel shelf magically get back into the boot?

[@BuckleUpShow]

Shhhhh 🤫

[@kyrahanlan2676]

Can you turn the passenger airbag off? I read the owner manual on mine and I can’t locate where to turn it off?

[@BuckleUpShow]

Think it’s in the glove compartment. You need to turn the key

[@kyrahanlan2676]

@@BuckleUpShow there’s nothing in the glove compartment (that I can see) to turn the airbag off. My partner has a corsa and his is visible but can’t see anything in my polo. Wondering if it’s possible

[@JasperBruceWright]

The interior is way better than a Corsa, but the 2017 Corsa was available with a 1.4 turbo engine which I know I'd rather have 😅

[@BuckleUpShow]

You could get a TSI version with 90ps but I suspect it would still lag behind the Corsa. You’d have to upgrade to the Blue GT to a 1.4 turbo with 150ps but weirdly it came with less standard equipment than the beats…

[@JasperBruceWright]

@@BuckleUpShow The one I'd be tempted by is the 1.4 that was both turbo and supercharged - believe it put out around 180?

[@thegamersclub8999]

this is best car best looks with its best colour red

[@BuckleUpShow]

Thanks for watching!

[@nickrichardson1317]

On my Beats I have a spare wheel. The subwoofer can be repositioned.

[@BuckleUpShow]

Good for you

[@elliotbaker9645]

I have this car. How did you reposition?? I'm interested in getting a spare in.

[@portman8909]

6th gen Polos are better. More stylish and space inside. Pretty much a Golf for less money.

[@BuckleUpShow]

I think both have their merits but the 6th gen is massive for a ‘supermini’ so it’s going to be more spacious
