Interesting comments due to affording a car like this that i should have included in the video for peace of mind, On the finance calculator Vw quote; 48 months at £282.30 Customer deposit at £2,351.98 Deposit contribution of £1000 Final payment of £9,758 Make your own mind up, is this something a 18-22 year old can afford? Let me know below!

Didnt realise young drivers had £30k to drop on a Polo GTI and £5k to spend on the insurance

"Why young people should finance" would be more appropriate

I'm a 45 year old teenager and love it to bits...had it since May 2021 and done 25000 miles and loved every mile

19 Reg 2.0 TSI for a young lad? Behave.

Wouldn’t like to think of how much the insurance would be for a young driver

I’m just trying to enjoy some ads and this man is interrupting to talk about a car?

I just got this car!! I'm sooooo grateful for this car🙏🏽 absolutely love it

Mate what planet are you on no young person can afford this car or insure it. Will you actually pick cars that someone ages 18-22 can afford and also insure

The main reason you would get the Plus model is the full LED headlights which you missed out, they are around 800 alone, but Halogens on the base GTI are unforgivable, especially since the 2014-17 model had LED as standard on GTI.

Stage 1 remap takes it from 200 hp to 235hp and 320nm to 420nm torque. Mad torque gains

I bought this car as i was 33 yo. If i got it in my mid 20's i'll surely be dead by now.

I'm a young driver but I'll get that car when I'm 60🤣🤣not financially stable yet

My god, I wish they sold these in the United States. Cheap, lightweight, fast enough to be fun on a backroad, and surprisingly sounds great considering how isolated the Golf GTI/R are. I don't understand why we don't get real hot hatches here.

It would be very difficult for a young driver to afford a brand new Polo GTI, even on finance. However, I have a 2017 Polo GTI 6C, which is just as fast and good looking as the 2019 one, and I'm on PCP which costs around £200 per month with a £2K deposit. That's more than affordable for me.

Next video title: Why pigs can fly, tapped guy

Honestly same title for every vid ‘why young drivers should be’ ‘why you should buy a shite box Skoda’ boring bro

I bought the Polo at around 18k (Aus dollar) as a first car and its fantasic, costs nothing to keep going, fuel economy is fantastic, maintance costs no more than any other car, would recommend 100%.

I just turned 20 and own a Seat ibiza cupra 1.4l 2013 I am with admiral and pay 1500 a month. The car is a rocket and is cheap to insure, the best way to get cheap insurance is go on compare the market and get multiple quotes different days on the same car. I had many different quotes ranging from 3000-1500 and just save the reference number for each cheap quote you get. The quotes fluctuate because the more you look the more the price goes up. Also try it in the morning on different wifi connections from the one you have been using to get quotes from comparthemarket and clear all cookies. If your going for an ibiza cupra 1.4l get 2013+ with CTHE engine to avoid as many problems as possible

pretty cool wee cars. the orange coloured ones are pretty tidy and really modern looking

Thank you Jamie. I'm due to pick up my Polo GTI next week. I know it's good but I'm bottling it a bit. I've just retired and found myself in such a lucky position that I can afford a car like this. I never expected to be in this position. I'm a bit gutted to let my 140 bhb fiesta go. But I will recommend it to others. It's really is nippy. Affordable (ish) too.

When I saw one of these on the streets when they first showed up, my immediate thought was: Damn, that looks like a spiritual MK2 GTI successor... that can't be a Golf, can it? And I was right. The MK8 Golf proved to be the disaster that I anticipated. The Polo was a happy surprise for a change. If I like the interior and handling, this might be the first VW since the MK4 Golf that I could actually see myself driving. I thought about the MK6 for a while, but my custom VR5-swapped MK4 with upgraded interior, engine tune, suspension, brakes, intake and electronics/entertainment still feels just as good, if not better than any MK6. For some reason, that Polo looks very appealing though. Catches my eye more and more often, especially with some good custom wheels.

FYI I have a polo se and Volkswagens finance options are really good and really affordable mines £185 a month

I am getting one for myself,love this car

I've got a better idea: Used VW Up! on PCP: £125 a month 48 months. Insurance between 600-800 for young drivers. Potentially less if you've had your license for a few years. The Up! Has won many awards and is widely regarded as great fun to drive.

I'm 21 years old and I'm from Barcelona, I own one AW gti since 27 of september and I cannot be happier with it, is really fast, good looking, good exhaust sound, perfect for travelling ( i go snowboarding twice a month and I carry my BTT sometimes), don't waste a lot of fuel, good interior space and materials, girls love it... I'm so proud of owning and I would recomend anyone that is thinking to buy it to go for it. I don't know how insurance are in UK but in Spain it costs me 600€ a year that wolud be like 570 pounds aprox.

Hidden Gem that few Young Drivers look at nowadays are the New 1.5tsi Civic Fk7, 180bhp and insurance group 22 very reasonable.

How on earth am I supposed to afford the insurance alone 😂

I'm 26, looking at one on a lease and it's pretty reasonable for me. But I'm pretty stable financially ATM and insurance is no.longer a problem for me. Dunno about an 18yo but thanks for the review 😂

Pretty affordable insurance wise, I'm 21 and only costs £1,108 a year. Costs more to insure a 1.0 Fiesta ST-Line

Just got my Polo GTI on Friday, so sick I would absolutely recommend 😊

I’m 45, turned off after finding out there is no 3 door!! 🤯🥺 Gutted.

Wonder where all these young drivers are getting all the money for all these cars😂😂don’t actually know any young drivers that can afford a single one of the cars he’s doing

My missus has got this Polo Gti. The lease is super cheap, £240 a month including tyres and servicing. We're in our 40's so it is super cheap to insure. I don't think insurance is the biggest problem a young driver would have with the car though. I borrow it from time to time :D and pop it into Sports mode. It is very powerful, quite light, 200BHP and buckets of torque. I've scared myself a few times! It gets squirrely under hard acceleration. If I'd had this 20 years ago, there's a good chance I would have put it in a hedge. As a young person I thought I was the best driver in the world. With age I've realised that I am an average driver at best (like almost all of us!). I'm certainly a better driver than I was in my 20's. I don't think this is a good car for a young person, they could well kill themselves in it :)

Best review so far, respect from amsterdam👍🏾

Standard and the car sounds so beautiful ❤

Keep up the good vids bro

awesome video man! agree on the seats and the steering wheel for sure⭐️

MATE!!! These Polo's are underrated... FACT!!! I had the version before then after the 2 year contract got a Seat Cupra 290!!! .... NOW THE 2021's where contracts have got A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE LOL!!! I've signed up for the Polo Gti plus Special Edition 207 bhp version... this might not mean much but... I'M SO GLAD THE CENTRE ARMREST EXTENDS LOL!!! LOVE AN ARMREST WHILE TAKING ON SOME DICKH?AD in a chavemobile BEHIND!!! 🤟🤟🤟😳😳🤣 thank you for the content matey!!! The Cupra ARMREST extended so I'm happy now!!! 😁😁😁

Just to let any you guys thinking about this car know, the insurance really isn’t bad on these things

Im a believer that you should build up to this kind of performance, with lesser powered vehicles, until you know what you're doing. As a kid i would have loved this of course but we had to make do with fiestas and escorts etc. This kind of performance was the equivalent of a supercar, back in the sixties and seventies. Yes they have better brakes and safety features now but i still think a gti is too much for a new driver. Theres also the fun of getting all you can out of a slower car. If you drove this at full speed, youd get the jail. Maybe modern teens are more sensible than i was....

Decent video as always my dude 👌👌

Great review. Greeting from the Netherlands

Great review, definitely think it’ll be my next car. Going from an A1 Black edition

The power of ed ed editing

Good vid bud

With respect, 1:33 what age exactly are these "young drivers" you have in mind who can: 1. Afford the car in the first place 2. Afford the insurance 3. Afford both the above and then pay even more for insuring an engine modded car? 19? 20? years old? Do you have any idea how few people that actually is? Daddy's money is the only way this is happening for the 1% of young drivers who are lucky enough to be born into money. At that point they can probably get daddy to buy them something better than a Polo anyway...

What an absolute whopper, YOUNG DRIVERS DONT HAVE 20k for a car 😂😂😂 unsubscribed

I agree with all the comments saying young people can’t afford this but I also think it’s terrible advice to be telling anyone (especially young people) to finance a car. I’d far sooner own a second hand car than finance a new one, no question. A far better car for a younger petrolhead would be a lupo GTI, 3series or even a diesel Audi. You just don’t need 200+ HP in your first or second car. I think for young drivers the regular polo is plenty!

Nice review, thanks mate. VW owe you because that's at least one Polo you've sold 😅 Needed a little runaround and couldn't think what to get, then I see this on YT recommendations. Perfect! Thought about the Suzuki Swift or Toyota Corolla HB. The Swift is too small for me and the Toyota is 10 seconds to 62mph. I even considered a Honda Type R (would have removed all the embarrassing paraphernalia after buying it of course), but that vehicle really was just too large for my needs. But apparently, due to demand VW are temporarily stopping all new orders on the Polo because of demand! Incredible.

Still waiting to hear insurance cost's! And running cost's.

Young drivers spending near £300 on a car per month, bit too much you think? And it doesn't even include the insurance :0

Great review 👍 makes me want one, the tuning potential would be great 🚀🇬🇧

getting mine in 2 weeks and they are affordable, im 18. Doing an initial payment for half the car and then financing the rest. About 2.5k insurance with no black box on 1 year no claims. not too bad imo

Personally I think this is a 2021 mk5 golf gti, and I love it

Maybe it's a car for us 30 year olds who inside are still a big kid

Great video. Nice car 👌🏼👌🏼

Why doesn’t Volkswagen offer the Polo GTI with a manual gearbox in the UK?

Got one with manual. Only car I ever ordered from new. Well ... LHD market got manual transmision for half of year while LHD polos was assembled in Spain befor it moved to SA (from 11/2017 to +/- 6/2018). Ordered in september I believe and than waited for 20 weeks *SPOLER* was worth it. :D a lot of fun to drive, a lot of power for engine from tiguan and after year and almost 25 000km my consumption is around 8L to 100km (lowest was 5,6 highest around 9,7). I ordered a lot of additional equipment. Honestly some of them is useless or just disappointment, at least to me. Navigation is mostly useless and app-connect with waze do much better job, heated seats in winter get hot after 6-8km. Insurance is absolute overkill I paid around 5% of whole car price just this year in insurance. I only miss 4x4 since I switched from 3.0TDI Quattro :)

would never want a manual in these👍 my brother owns a new type R golf and his partner owns one of these and the dsg is insanely good

Only old people can afford this

Can't go wrong with a gti. Gti over the golf R's any day

Managed to get this exact spec but in a super rare Manual :-D yay

Yo, I have the exact same car as you, Sam alloys, same colour. What a car.

Hey never nock a small thing... Its what you do with it that counts. Good review as a owner.

Should steal this is more accurate

Just a heads up guys if you do get this car, keep your wits about you, I had this and it was stolen from me at knife point, seems people will do anything to get their hands on a car like this

Much better video back to basics,good review. Cost of pcp would help.

The word ‘Finance’ would suit better in the title rather than the word ‘buy’ nice vid btw 💪🏽

Do you class young drivers as over 30?

Awsome little car

Why does he keep cutting his videos after every 2 words😂 hes making himself sound like hes disabled!

Really want to hear your review on the Dacia duster tci 150 prestige. The polo gti and golf tdi gt estate. Aka all the cars I’m trying to figure out which I want.

What's with the constant camera flick? It's like watching stop motion animation, very distracting!

You did a review of a Polo 6C which also had the red line in the headlight lol

Literage😂 Do you mean displacement mate

What's the tune called?

For some reason all cars have got bigger, and this car maybe a smaller version of the new golf but the original mk1 golf is actually smaller than this Polo by around 200mm.

Great video! What's the beat in the beginning?

I prefer the Polo R5 version

Renting a car isn’t buying it. Also don’t buy this car as a young driver. It’s way to expensive. No one cares what car u drive, no one judges u.

What do I pay Before I can drive away Customer deposit Deposit contribution Or do I have to pay them at the same time

Your videos are literally pointless at the moment not all young people can afford cars like this and even if they can the insurance is stupid...

This car in France is around 30 000 euros, I Don t know any young driver that could afford this car!

Young and GTI is not cheap. Get a regular Polo with turbo injector for cheap insurance.

Since AET Motorsport Have blown up your Audi what's going to happen with that ?

got one.. love it

What song is that at the start

I have already engine issius with my polo gti 2019

So personally you’d finance a fully loaded polo with every extra lol 😂 lol your bank / finance company/ dealer must absolutely love you

Is polo almost as good as golf? In your opinion what would be top 3 Polo models ? And is polo same quality as fiesta or Leon?

I hope they bring out a manual, that'd be super awesome

I'd like to buy this but only if it had a manual gearbox still with the 2.0l engine

Great car! I went for the mk6 ibiza fr 1 litre turbo that’s nippy and insurance isn’t to pricey for a 19 year old

Didn't you do a 6C gti a while back 🤔

The sheer amount of jump cuts in this video

I'm just sad that this is not available in my country, Malaysia :(

The GT is just as good

I wish the 18 inches still looked like those ones, the ones on the 2022 facelifted model are ugly IMO, so i got the 17s with the intention of later swapping them

Young drivers should have the option of driving a manual otherwise whats the point of having two different driving tests
