Lol I bought mine in 2018 and I have changed the waterpump about 4 times now, I have also fixed my gearbox twice since I have had the car.

I believe most of us don't have cars but we're always ready to jump-in on the Muzi's uploads 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have this, 2015 Polo GTI DSG bought with 62 000km for R321k.....they are really expensive and the clean ones are even more expensive. I am now on 90 000km with no issues at all just pure fun, i do have aftermarket warranty. People should not buy this car with understanding the problems it comes with. If you have a DSG box remember its a dry clutch and not wet so do not go abusing it with using the manual shifts at every chance you have, if pushing the car let it change from 1, 2 then 3rd gear you can use paddles. Also if you have a DSG leave the car stock, do not modify it as the dry clutch can only handle 250Nm above that you asking for problems. Hence DSG has 250Nm instead of the 320Nm on the manual, dry clutch. Please do not try to launch it, AKHEKHO ULAUNCH CONTROL KWI DRY CLUTCH, you just burning your clutches

I bought mine in January 2020 for 189k paying R3800 per month, mileage was 126k at that time, since then the car behaved for a year an half 😂😂then issues started showing up, like i first changed megatron for 18k and added a new clutch for 26k, luckily those were covered by the extended warranty, then 8 months down like i had to change the whole gearbox n I got an imported one for 20k, and while they were working of that gearbox my steering rack broke n I got one for polo vivo for R3800 coz original one cost 30k at VW, and timing chain issues as well which cost me about 7k for parts and works and then 2 months later I had to change water pump for around 4k, esh I love this car but it has impoverished me lol

The pricing of cars in general is crazy. In 2016 my polo 6c gti was valued at 345k brand new and I was paying roughly 4.5k installments with a minimal 80k deposit. Maybe if we all just avoid buying cars for the next 5 years the dealerships would lower their prices 😅

Bought mine in 2021 with 43k on the clock. I only did water pump at 120k. This is a show stopper, definitely keeping it for my son

Here is my take on what you said Muzi 1. Overheating comes from failed water pump. 2. Oil is not an issue in this car from 2013 Polo GTI 1.4 (6R) to 2017 Polo GTI 1.8 (6C) 3. Armrest yes I agree it breaks easily. 4. Sunroof doesn't leak at all guys that's not true. Note: The entire engine uses water so water pump is bound to fail at some point. The water pump last for 2 to 3 years on used GTI's and it's about R4000 in Joburg. People confuses me when they say don't buy a used GTI because it has been overused or abused. I own the same car but 2017 model, bought it from 2019. I have changed the water pump already which I agree it is the common problem. Other than water pump the car is perfect. I used to own 2013 Polo GTI 1.4 nayo it did not give me problems other than water pump. For me the car is reliable. My take on owning a GTI take of it and it will take care of you.

Im a Corolla fan, but lemme just watch for the algorithm 🕺

I’m currently driving a 6C TSI and as soon as I start working I’m buying this car😭🙌🏽For me it’s a perfect Polo till date, the AW can’t do it like this Polo.

Been waiting for this video for months now. Thank you King.

I have a manual 6C GTI. Perfect car and not a single issue since I bought it in 2019.

I paid 22k for mechatronic unit repair at Geartronix DSG Centre after I was quoted 120k by the dealership. 3 years later still no issues.

Bought my wife the 2017 polo gti from the box in 2017. The car has about 140000km on the clock now. Always renewed the warranty, that's key however the car has not had any issues with engine, clutch or gearbox. I drive it from time to time and ya it moves. I think the fact that my wife drives it mostly is the reason why the car is still good as new. I have been trying to trade it in and dealerships outside VW are offering R200k. VW has offered me R250k trade in if I take the 2023 polo gti but that is R570k which is alot of money today for a small car. Its definitely an amazing car if taken care of. But that 60000km service plan is unforgivable at the price. But I have avoided the huge service costs by taking a plan with specific VW dealership, paying R16000 for 6 services upfront. I will be switching to Lexus soon so I can get piece of mind and a longer 7 year maintenance plan. Great review nonetheless and keep up the good work.

i have one red with manual. Really like the car. Fast enough and fun to drive

Thank Dr Sambo! Always appreciate your commentary.

This is the GTI model I love most!! The design is so much better than the recent one.😍🔥

Bought mine 2019 and it's 2017 model with 45000km till this day she's running smooth. But it's true about the armrest. And yeah I also changed the water pump lol. But in a nutshell, this car is a charm man, love it like I bought yesterday. It's a pocket rocket👌

I bought mine in 2021 and it had mechatronic issues and I took it to a VW dealership to fix the issue and I was charged 54k (including labour) 😢. Everything is fine now, I enjoy driving it and I'm planning to keep it! Regardless of the issues it might have 😂😅 ngiyofela khona empini!

Yoh those sound effects doing the most chief 🔥

Be prepare to change water pump 🙆🏾 If you’re owning this car ,the best thing that you can do is to extend the warranty of the car to avoid over spending .

I’m 20 years and I was sooo ready to buy this car but after watching your videos I’ve decided otherwise thank you sir❤️

I’m a fan officially, thank you Muzi

🤣🤣🤣🤣 " thats your leg room and here are your back sits, DONE" Muzi your are hilarious!!!!!!!

The most Addictive content😢😢,just can't get enough of ur reviews n they r too short as always 😭

Danko muzi eyi KZfaq pay muzi 100k for dropping this one, the car that only matters. Been waiting for this 4eva now

I like your content bro, insightful and witty!

Thanks for the heads-up I love this model

Straight up honesty 🔥🔥no lies detected, I appreciate your content my G🤗

had mine since 2018 sold it as 248k km , its a very good car an cheaper to maintain if you have warranty but the cooling system is net Kak..changed 4 water pumps in less than a year

Thank you Muzi for this review.. in a process to get one

5 days later,hope im not that late....but im loving the content as always, big up Dr

Beeennn waiting for this one 😭😭🔥🔥🔥

😂😂😂😂the sound effects when he mentions the problems 😭😭😭😂😂😂 especially the sunroof leaking

Spending a R350k on a 8 year old Polo GTI is a recipe for disaster

Well Muzi I would say it all goes down to quality we've had Renault Megan RS R26 for almost 13 yrs now and it came as a sec hand with a sun roof but it doesn't have such problems of leaking still top notch...

I always watch you videos, always forget to like and comment, great content bro, and thats my dream car

Muzi truly has a love hate relationship with this brand 😂 VW SA must just sponsor this man..

Best GTI ever but I had my fair share of bad experience with VW. My first VW was a Polo Vivo 2013 model that I bought in 2015 then later upgraded with Polo 6 in 2016. I regretted letting go of the Polo Vivo because the Polo 6 showed me flames from water pump issues, thermostat and the steering rack giving me problems. After fixing the Polo 6 then I went for 2016 Ford Fiesta Trend. Never had issues till I sold it in 2020 when I traded in with 2020 Model VW Polo TSI 1.0 which is currently giving me problems with water pump.

Bro is spitting facts 🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥 I’m definitely subscribing

Close to my dream video, would love to see a second hand Polo Vivo/Comfortline/TSI (6th generation)

This is still the best GTi to me as well. The AW is also good, but the 1.8 was something else.

am going to buy this ,iv been waiting for your review 🙏😂

This car is just beautiful

I'm patiently waiting for your next pre owned high millage BMW. God bless you, actually good luck you'll need it.

Not a fan of polo so I wouldn't buy either. Btw please review the Suzuki Jimny if you can get one. Genuinely considering buying one and you're the only reviewer who brings up good points other reviewers either ignore or forget to cover in their reviews.

Muzi great videos. thanks. where did you buy your polo vivo?

Eish Muzi. We are eagerly waiting a long time for the C-Class W205 Model video. 😊. Still great content though!

Hi Muzi. Can you please do a video on extended mechanical warranty insurance . Thanks

I've had my 2017 6C for about two years now. Water pump replacement and a gearbox fix were both covered under warranty because the previous owner was a top G who got an extended 5-year warranty on the car. It has since lapsed, so wish me luck. Just went to Stage 1 ECU tune, which unlocked a ridiculous amount of additional power, and I am loving the driving experience. Exhaust is a bit boring, that'll be the next improvement.

Ah yes, this one got me stoked !

Heita Doc I've got a friend of mine who's got the 2017 Polo gti 6 speed manual and his also in the medical field his currently selling me his polo for R150k with 117km on the clock... by the look of things its a great deal... service his is on Point care has been taken good care off😊

I had a 2016 model and traded it for the AW in 2021. The 6c was good to me but i can relate on the issue of the centre arm rest, water pump and thermostat had to be replaced luckily i had an extended maintenance plan. It used to also give s notification of “move gear lever position from P” where as i was driving. Vw failed to fix this numerous times. I can also relate on the high oil consumption. I traded it at 120 000km

Great video ,looking forward to a golf 7.5 gti review 🤣

Great review🔥

Great content as always Hey 👋 review the 2022 - 2023 Suzuki Brezza VXI & ZXi models

I had a problem with the radiator and back radiator that had to be replaced at 14k excluding labour. What followed after it was installed I had a water pump issue with my 2017 Polo R line at a cost of 8k excluding labour.

You’re right about the water pump. I have a Polo R line AW. The water pump broke just before the the warranty ended luckily. Other than that, great car, no problems 120000km’s later. I take lots of care of my car, I have too much mechanical sympathy.

A lot of good dealerships take cars in for detailing before putting them on the showroom floor, which is my suspicion of why the paint looks immaculate. Detailing the body of the care will generally remove a lot of surface scratches, decontaminate and revive the brightness of the paint. Also looks like the previous owner took good care of it.

The love i have for this car in reef blue is unmatched, problems of nie problems am still going to buy one😂 my mechanic "who works under a tree" constantly works on these cars and the AWs so i need to build good relations with that morena😅

Best polo gti 🔥🔥🔥

You’ve convinced me to stay away from high mileage out of warranty cars for good🤝🫡. The way you broke down my want for this GTI is amazing 😂. Give this man a Bell’s 🥃💯.

I'm never selling this car mnaka. Noma kungatsiwani but you're right. Maintenance costs are quite high

Please do review Toyota 1.8 prestige or quest. I'm thinking about that car EVERYDAY. Looks nice and simple. Budget friendly, well for me I guess.

Please do a Peugeot 2008 boss I’m considering buying it but wished for a review first

PLEASE do a review of A Opel astra OPC 2015

you should review a Focus ST3 as well, we would love that

This car is beautiful still love it

Great video. Please do 2014 golf 7 GTI. I laughed for Christmas tree dash 🎄

I need to downgrade soon from my Polo AW Highline 2018, Pale copper. The family is growing and the finance department is over burdened 😟I'll have to look for reliable and affordable car in the very near future. Just makes me sad seeing all the features I'll be losing when I sell my car.

Damn man, listen to that turbocharged engine discharging when revving it😩❤️🏆🔥.

I have a Polo 6R GTi 2013 Model. Bought it at 222 000km for about R150 000 under private sale. It had an almost full service record (1 service missed). The reason I went to for it is because I noticed it already had a Mechatronic, Clutch and Timing chain replacement at 120 000km done by VW under warranty. So I thought to myself, this is a bargain 😢. The only thing I ever changed with my money was the water pump which died literally two months after taking ownership 😂. After that I immediately put it under warranty. It's been two years and I haven't experienced any real or costly problems ever since (except for potholes and new tyres/control arms every once in a while). It does however chow a lot of oil, so for that I do an oil change service every 10 000km instead of the manufacturer advised 15 000km interval. I've put only a down pipe for better exhaust sound, the car is still factory spec, however I am flirting with the idea of stage 2 right now 🙈.

These are nice pocket rockets and very light on fuel,mine is on 178k and I have replaced my clutches twice,mechatronics once,waterpump and every 2nd service have to replace coil packs,like you mentioned Muzi don't buy it if it will be your only car ,but it'd a person choice but that's non of our business how people spend their money

i got a 2017 polo tsi comfortline and ive never had any problems

My advice is just to emphasize on doing your homework on the aftermarket warranty that would pay out, say, more than R40k on a gearbox and engine failure separately. A service is more or less the same as other car except that there's a dsg service tbat also needs to be done.

Great content.... Sir

To me this is the best polo model, even the GTi i own a 2015 polo tsi comfortline with that gti spec, currently 280k mileage i bought it for 240k with 31k on the clock, 8 years now, i changed clutch recently and water pump an thermostat but the electronic errors are now showing me flames🔥, wiper sensors error, headlight control error, im thinking of the WA but ai financing a car now in this interest rates i rather fix this one an take if for panel beat😂😂😂

Honestly speaking the ea889 gen3 engine is a fairly strong engine if it maintained well the only downfall with this engine is the thermostat housing and water pump also the dq200 gearbox is nonsense if it’s not mechatronic it’s the clutches but honestly speaking it’s a fairly good car.Put a Downpipe and stage 2 software you’ll really enjoy the car.

Mechatronic unit is R37k for an Audi A3 1.8 s-tronic 2014-2016 model. Please do a review on an Audi A3 , 14-16 model. Thermostat and water pump have been changed already. Had to put in new clutches as well. This engine is too delicious. E shorta ka vrrrppphhhaaa

Wow it's funny , I got it at 57000km, it's now on 123000km I replaced the mechatronics and clutch kit costing R28k and R18k but all in all I will get another 60,000kms after this in all honesty this car I will keep it's going to be scarce in the near future like our forefathers loved the 325is😂

I found a risk assessment very important nowdays

Would like to see a review on a 2020 m140i 🎉

Good to hear the truth without romantacising even from a GTI fan. South Africans love VWs more than they love money.

Please do a video for Mercedes Benz C43 2018 model

Same here id go for the Aw on a budget of R400k you do get one

The best Polo GTI although i would make sure to get one with LED headlights atleast and not the halogens like in this video

Paying R2,4 for insurance because I'm under 24 years and got it as a second hand at about 120k kms And for Gas I'm paying around R2k a month it's not my daily Use renualt kwid for my daily drives

I was waiting for the water pump issues, very notorious in VW 😂

This polo hold the best value out of all VW vehicle.

Love it

That Toyota Legend 45 looks intersting.

Dankie mfowakithi for amazing content Ngicela usenzele content for Any Lexus model 🙏🏿 the more affordable one though not on the cars we cant afford🤣

1.8 is good however the dry clutch dq200 gearbox was it's limit.

😅 I recently got an intership at local dealership(not that anyone asked me) and I must say it feels strange hearing bhut Muzi's perspective from the other side. Seller's perspective instead of the buyer's side of the fence. How will I convince people to buy this beauty after watching this video😢😭😭 and this baby is going for R339 900 and the kilos are still at 89 000 km. But it's a 2017 model though😅 Interesting video, bhut Muzi🙌👍🤝

I'm gonna be a victim for this car. It's literally the best polo 😋

Awe bro,I would like to see a review of the 2017/2018 a4 that car is a great sleeper but I don't see many of them in our roads

Hi Muzi, can you please do a review on a Golf 5 GTi 🙏🏽
