Have owned this gem for 4 years now. Lets just say i am struggling to get rid of it even though i work from home fulltime. Only gripe i have is the smaller boot than the tsi and the firm suspension, maybe im fussy and reason im saying that is coz my moms wants me to give her the car when i upgrade (mind u she has back problems but still doesnt mind it so…). Fuel is not that different for me from my previous 1.2 tsi. Plus minus 1.5 l per 100km from tsi consumption really. Never had any of the claimed dsg “issues🤔”. Starting to feel like those forum queries only came from people who don’t actually live with the car. Then its the looks… everyone loves the looks! Gents & ladies. just look at it next time u see it, then tell me if u look at the new polo gti’s as long😅I cant step away from the car without looking back at it😍. And ofcos its got great push on the road. Love it. Took mine ‘Tiffany’ everywhere - Limpopo Mpumalanga and Kzn multiple times. My advise - just go for it. Find a good one - just not mine😂 not letting go of mine😅

[@nokocambelngoasheng9279]

I have a tsi for this polo..what's the difference with the bootspace?

[@mvuso1]

@@nokocambelngoasheng9279 the floor of the boot in the gti is raised to accommodate the battery which has moved from the front to underneath the boot floor. Together with bits for the spare wheel this setup takes a bit of space and means the boot floor is raised compared to the tsi. Something like 40litres difference. I think tsi is 280litre boot space

[@tebogothembo4420]

Does it start giving problems after 100 000 kms?

[@mvuso1]

@@tebogothembo4420 nope. Im on 120000kms with no problems at all.

[@shaddymashimbyi5418]

This is a machine, mine is on 160 000km and it’s just start and go, the only parts replaced is the water pump and the turbo, it comes with IS12 and I’m now using IS20 (golf 7 GTI turbo) the car is a gem ❤, just start and go, it is so reliable, fun and addictive… never had any issues with the gearbox (DSG)

[@JayJay-mx7oc]

To any potential buyer, this car is a gem. The best polo gti ever made in my opinion. I had the privilege of driving a new one back in 2015 courtesy of my sister. Having driven this car for 2 years plus I can definitely say vw was on God level when they made this car.

[@shadeurmhlanga5528]

Cousin of mine had this car brand new 2016 in it’s time it was so fun and fast and had a real Mini Cooper jcw feel to it. But after some time the dsg box was problematic, warranty finished at 45,000km and the megatronic gave up and they wanted R100k to replace it. My honest opinion, don’t buy a second hand sports car! Thanks for the review brother I agree it’s still the nicest Polo GTI ever made.

[@mrhowmuch]

I like comments like this cause they give real world experience of what to expect from different cars , thanks for sharing Shadeur

[@lesediseemela9856]

DSG engines are problematic when they get older, especially performance cars. You must get an extended service plan or maintaince plan for the DSG engine because it's expensive to fix.

[@shadeurmhlanga5528]

@@lesediseemela9856 had an extended warranty brother, but Vw said that the Megatronic was part of wear and tear just like brakes, electronics and lights. So that was not covered under warranty hence the R100k asking price to fix it but to be fair he was a vrrr phaaa fanatic 😂

[@kagisomogoshane5094]

This one is the 6C model the 6R had major issues with the megatronic and turbos/ supercharger. Never had anyone with a megatronic issue on the 6R could be one of those lemons that your cousin got.

[@TheVigilante572]

That's an honest review. VW has a serious problem with mecatronics. Buyers should worry if the mileage reaches a certain milestone.

[@colinwordley4369]

From this side, having owned these two cars, they are incomparable, its hard to pick one over the other, each one has its own character and it is best at it. If it was up to me, i'd have them both at the same time.

[@kagisomogoshane5094]

I am a owner for 2 years now. It is a very good car never had any problems with but I must say R338K it is a bit steep yes they are rare but NO. I will also recommend that if you are to consider the car get a warranty could save you a lot of headache if you are to have problems particularly with the Gearbox.i.e Megatronix, clutch. Also fallen victim to theft of headlights so check where you park ....

[@mrhowmuch]

It’s an honor knowing that someone outside South Africa watches the channel aswell , thanks for the comment Kim , on our side the current Gti is not available in Manual at all, you can still get it on regular Polo Models , but people seem to be shifting towards the automatics because of the crazy traffic on our highways.

[@reabetswethipe2190]

Not gonna lie when I hear second hand GTI I just want to run but this thing is a machine. Looks like a machine, sounds like a machine, IT IS A MACHINE🔥 What's a VW Polo without a sunroof

[@Arrahant]

A 6C Polo GTI without a sunroof, manual shifting and the red-grey upholstery makes it look and feel more like the mk2 and mk3 Golf GTI's. A more analog feel, or something like that? That nostalgic feeling is attractive to some. VW looks a lot like Audi nowadays imo

[@KingSabali-gc8dh]

I pray one day I get to have my own GTi 😢

[@davevirgo8537]

I have one an it’s amazing….

[@mrhowmuch]

Clueless kid , I personally wouldn’t recommend the mk6 Golf R since it is a much older performance car , and because it’s a performance car it was most likely driven hard and might become a maintenance headache for you going forward , but whichever car you go for make sure it has a complete service history and you buy from a reputable dealership.

[@Gadothedj]

@@mrhowmuch thanks man i actually archived this convo so thay i can reply when all is fulfilled.. Been seeing a few of them in great condition... For a 2017 model to be above 300k clearly shows the value

[@Nhl12356]

@gadothedj so did you get it? 😅

[@angusayres888]

New one is not nearly as exciting, and the electronic interface is a hard pass from me. The AW is the only one to compare with the 6C, both are excellent to drive. I'm going to soften the suspension a tad on my 6C, and I have had DSG and water pump issues, so maybe the AW is the way to go if it escapes some of those drawbacks? I still think the 6C is the best-looking of any modern GTI.

[@Mstshepana90]

R330K for a used vivo lookalike that's out of warranty and service plan not to mention the problematic dsg transmission on this model, rather get yourself a New compact SUV Suzuki Brezza top of the range with that chankura.

[@SheyavaliTV.]

and its petrol thirsty . true monthly cost of ownership is 12-15K

[@mrhowmuch]

I love the Polo but everything you’ve said is true Tshepo , a new car would be a much safer option for someone not interested in the thrills of the used GTi

i think there was some problems with DSG ( dry clutch ) on this polo so they changed it for the new polo gti that came in 2018 ( wet clutch )...

[@lesediseemela9856]

VW test teams are very complacent nowadays. The new face-lift GTI has software problems. People will end up getting tired and opting for other brands.

[@yaddahmehluli8307]

Dual Shifting Gearbox not dry clutch

[@justincrowie7706]

Yep, the dry clutch version(dq200 gearbox) is the one with the problems but apparently there a new organic solution they put in them to prevent the failure

[@simphiwemajozi1956]

would you recommend an engine swap, from 1.4 to 1.8 gti engine, and brakes, assuming ngijimile, and the car is my Son's gift, and the car is already paid up.

[@mrhowmuch]

Sounds like you want a gti , to avoid complications and affecting the car’s future resale value , since you say ujimile rather take the money you would have spent on the 1.8 Gti Engine and brakes , go to a dealership and trade in the 1.4 Polo you have and add the money you would have spent on the engine as a deposit and get yourself a real Polo Gti.

VW are so bold with their prices its ridiculous 😂at a time where the Chinese manufacturers are sending absolutely banging value cars. This year my eyes have definitely been opened to the BS of some manufacturers.

[@mrhowmuch]

I also don’t get why they are increasing their prices when cars are already so expensive, Haval and Chery need to start making hatch backs , they make nice cars but not everyone wants an SUV
