The Volkswagen Polo is one of our favourite city cars, and there's a whole new generation of Polo in 2018. The Polo has grown closer to the Golf in size, it has a new interior, and punchy three-cylinder TSI engines. Tom heads to South Australia to check it out for the first time.
What do you think of the Polo? Are three cylinders enough? Is it too big? Do you hate DSG? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments.

Nice to see the Polo is finally following in the footsteps of the Golf. I had a GTI a few years ago and ownership was a disappointment. Only thing I'm not sold on with the new gen is the colour, love a fizzy little 3-cyl, looking forward to driving one. Good review lads!

Thanks Ash. The triple is a real delight. Pairs well to the DSG but the manuals are fun. No 85TSI six-speeds until around midyear sadly, but the 70TSI five-speed is a really good thing.

Great review Tom. Interesting to see the test of the 3 cylinder with dsg box. Looks a great city car.

The 1.0 TSI works really well with the DSG. Better than most of the four-cylinders actually!

Pure math: 3 cylinders are 120degree apart => minimum waste of energy. Add clutch to it and all bikies look at you, as they use the same. (BTW this is how awesome Nikola Tesla had invented AC system that we ALL use today: 3 el. phases shifted for 120 degrees in order to make up to 360 degrees + the application of the mighty calculus to its sinus and cos-inus functions and voila! ). So simple, so smart, so elegant.

Very impressive small car. My only disappointment is the removal of cushioning on the rear seat door arm rests. Not very nice that it’s hard plastic now. Given the previous gen car was so good the two best cars in the class are now the new polo and previous gen car.

Good summation I think. Yes, it seems unnecessarily cheap to remove that little bit of padding for back seat passengers.

How’s the headroom in the back? At 6’0”, it’s important to be certain! However, a nice video. Thanks!

Hey Tom, awesome review mate 👍🏻. Love that VW Aus have made that steering wheel and infotainment system standard across the range. I’m in the market for a new hatch between $25k-$30k. What would be your top picks? Cheers mate

@chasingcars 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot Dave. Much appreciated. On your question, I'd be looking at the Golf Comfortline, the i30 SR, or a Peugeot 308 Allure. All quality picks in that price range.

I was awaiting your Polo review, thanks. Tempting but made in South Africa is still a question mark as opposed to the made in Germany Golf.

@chasingcars 6 жыл бұрын

No problem. I think it's okay - South Africa have been pumping out cars of a good standard for a while. All our W205 C-Class sedans are from SA now, and so have our 3 Series sedans, although BMW are moving 3er production back to Germany because the X3 plant moves to SA… yadda yadda.

Led is optional on the comfort line and highline models comes standard on the beats and gti version.
