[1927since]

cool review/ thanks!

[hamsterboye]

I appreciate your well done exciting review about this beautiful car !

Btw, your home backyard also looks nice and clean :)

[ShanesAutos]

@hamsterboye thanks very much

[reigurl]

I've booked mine & perhaps next week I can get it!

[1bboyred1]

the best car ever! omg i love it so much. :(((( i cant buy it i have no money:(( perhaps after 10years from mow, when it gets cheap :,(((

[ShanesAutos]

@1bboyred1 yeh it is a brilliant little car alright. yeh they'll get cheap soon enough hopefully.

[VwGTiFfAr8]

Shane, should I get an earlier version of the Volkswagen Polo or the 2002 version of the Renault Clio? It'll be my first car. Thanks.

[ShanesAutos]

@VwGTiFfAr8 tough enough decission to be honest. renault make some of the safest cars in the world but without been biest i would go for a 2002/2005 polo because they just feel nicer to drive and have better quality interior's than a 2002 clio in my opinion.

[VwGTiFfAr8]

@ShanesAutos Thanks Shane, I will definitely take this comment on board, I'll take both on a test drive and see which is best. If it was down to price I'd go with the Clio but it doesn't rely on that unfortunately. Thanks again Shane

[ShanesAutos]

@VwGTiFfAr8 no problem, get back to me after the test drive's.

[VwGTiFfAr8]

@ShanesAutos It'll be a while I take my lessons in April :( but don't worry, I will do.

[EugeneLurry]

@ShanesAutos nice car i got the tsi 1.2 2012 and the turbo is a fucking monster.

[ShanesAutos]

@EugeneLurry thanks. is yours a GTI Polo?

[EugeneLurry]

@ShanesAutos no it's a TSI

[ShanesAutos]

@EugeneLurry  oh right i thought that with VW you could only get turbo charged petrol if they were a sport or GTI model.

[HAWK21M]

Good Car......

Nice Review.

[AFCA4EVER]

[GrannyAtBingo1990]

I've just bought one myself, i pick it up friday :D, does the standard model also have the aux cable? i didn't even ask i forgot to :( lol

[ShanesAutos]

@GrannyAtBingo1990 nah im sorry the base model doesnt, but you can have an aux inport fitted with 6 inch speakers for an extra £120 (English pounds) . did you order a base model?

[GrannyAtBingo1990]

@ShanesAutos i did yes, i pick it up on the 13th of jan ( tomorrow ) wish it had an aux lead, can't afford to have it fitted now :(

[ShanesAutos]

@GrannyAtBingo1990 ah dont worry about it, you still got the cd player.

[Bico683]

@ShanesAutos - yeah I'm goin to put one up shortly

[aszkanfederation28]

[Bico683]

I just picked up my white polo tsi 6sp manual.. Looks unreal!!drives like a weapon.

[ShanesAutos]

@Bico683 sweet..video of it.?

[baskey12345]

1) it is not new polo (india) 2) Bhp is not 57! in india 75PS =78.54BHP 3) dash board is not the single colour! & some of the cosmetic items are NOT avilable in india Highline .

[MrYoungAlbz]

Can you listen to your cd's in the car?

[ShanesAutos]

@MrYoungAlbz yes

[ShanesAutos]

@1989WOX Nope just a normal glovebox, it. Is a pretty. Simple car nothing fancy yanno.

[1989WOX]

is there USB port ?!

[ShanesAutos]

@1989WOX not in the polo no, but you can have a USB in every other VW

[1989WOX]

@ShanesAutos what about cooling glove box ?!

[amokachi31]

woaaahaaaa. look at that flaw. the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. :P

[adityasahu96]

Hey can you tell me what all accesories i can fit inside my new polo Trendline (base model)???

[ShanesAutos]

@adityasahu96 well what do you mean? like for example speakers, sat nav etc, can you specify anything in particular?

[pwtriantos]

What's an mp tree player?

[ShanesAutos]

@pwtriantos  ehm a music player.. what did you think it was.?

[Rueyful]

[shonor6]

This isn't HD.

[ShanesAutos]

@shonor6 yes it is. its recorded in 720p HD and then i lower the quality a tiny bit so it uploads quicker to youtube.

[bedigocvey]

great review and of course great car. i am getting one of these in a week :)

[ShanesAutos]

@bedigocvey thats good glad you enjoyed the review. whats your going to be like?

[bedigocvey]

@ShanesAutos 1.6 tdi comfortline is what i'll get. i can't wait to drive, i drove my friend's car once. it was awesome :)

[ShanesAutos]

@bedigocvey i drove this polo too, brilliant little thing. do me a favour and upload a video of yours when ya get it.

[gaedzable]

I didn't see button for seat heaters. Are they optional accesory in where you live? In finland they are free even in the cheapest model :)

[ShanesAutos]

@gaedzable yeh theyre options here. seems that in every country cars come with different options and some as standard

[gaedzable]

@ShanesAutos yeah i have noticed it too. In sweden air conditioning is standard even in trendline.

[nafnath]

very nice car, very nice colo!

[ripperchunk]

Nice Car - But thats Gay color

[ShanesAutos]

@ripperchunk  how can a color be gay? its just red :/

[ripperchunk]

@ShanesAutos I know its red - I've heard that Gay people usually drive Cars with RED Color -

[ShanesAutos]

@ripperchunk no offence but thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard. why do people always feel the need to judge others.? i like red and i can assure u im 100% not gay.

[ace9846]

@ShanesAutos he is obviously a three year old.

[PhilReturns]

nice review and also a nice car i have also this car bat with one difference my Polo is GTI :)

[ShanesAutos]

@PhilReturns thanks. awh thats mental ive to wait until next year until my local vw dealer gets the polo gti in.

[beachedwhale122]

I have this car! Love it! :D

[koukosdreamer]

great car! nice review!

[ShanesAutos]

@koukosdreamer thank you. yeh it sure is.

[staroffuture22]

Don't you find getting in & out difficult?, i am not that tall , like 5'10" but still find it difficult to get in & out. The other thing is my leg keeps hitting the centre console ( I have adjusted the seat position & steering innumerable number of times, but still....). ..Other than this the car is wonderful.

[ShanesAutos]

@staroffuture22 nope. im about the same height as you and have no problem whatsoever.

[ALLgenre89]

Very nice car. I really want to buy 1 of these.

[MrGTDONE]

that is not climate control mate those are fk knobs

[mizalta]

which sun film hav u got??..looks great!!

[Significanto]

Hey, nice car. I'm considering to buy a Polo but i have two questions. Is the servo electrical or with fluid? And is is the car equipped with a timming belt or chain?

[ShanesAutos]

@Significanto nice one. ohh goodness eh those are 2 question i know nothing about im afraid u may have to google them.

[d666sermek]

the comment was reply to "theEGGtech" comment that his polo is satisfied with 4.6L of aggressive driving... his polo IS diesel...I know that the review is about 1.2 petrol :D

[d666sermek]

@theEGGtech: the review is about petrol engine, you have diesel...

[ShanesAutos]

@d666sermek  ehh no this car is petrol, no offense but i think id know.

[TheEGGtech]

1:21 nice Gran Turismo 5 :D

[ShanesAutos]

@TheEGGtech  haha danm straight :L

[Bhock182]

Nice review and nice car! :)

[wsmbm]

car seems very noisy?

[ShanesAutos]

@wsmbm actually its very quiet, might seem louder in the video than it actually is.

[d666sermek]

this car isn't an E of being economycal!!! 8L is too much for engine this size! mine 1.2 hyundai is satisfied with 5.7L

[TheEGGtech]

@d666sermek i bought my polo on saturday and its a 1.6 and currently i get about 4.6L, but I drive aggressively

[Delev87]

57 BHP in a 21st century 10.000 euro car is quite simply pathetic. I am a fan of the car but VW's starting point engines are amongst the least powerful in their class. Unacceptable

[ShanesAutos]

@Delev87 well it is acceptable if so many people are buying them. the polo is built mainly as a city car and for practicallity..not speed. if you want a fast VW hatchback then buy a golf.

[vlalwani83]

@Delev87 : Its a typo.. its actually 75bhp... sadly its still underpowered..

[pierce2man]

@Delev87 70hp, I have one too, and I would agree its not very powerful but it is 3 cylinders, 1.2ltr and I have gotten 800KM from a 45ltr tank. I nearly feel off my chair because when I seen 11-DL I was like wait what?!

[ShanesAutos]

@pierce2man dont you undestand? te polo is not about power but practicallity. as i said in a previous comment if yu want a powerful VW hatchback, buy a golf.

[1bboyred1]

i love this car soo much! hope to get one some day

[iTravelHD]

yo what about the backseat kneeroom. do you have enought room for your legs on the backseats?

ya and gratz for the nice ride

[HarBar42]

Hopefully be ordering mine this afternoon got a test drive at 3:00pm very excited.

[orman128]

I'll buy one next week

[ShanesAutos]

@orman128 thats good. will you upload a video of it.?

[karchun9860]

@orman128 My parents are buying me one next 3 weeks xD So happy to get one!

[ShanesAutos]

@karchun9860 good for you. do you know what trimline your getting?

[karchun9860]

@ShanesAutos Think its called Moda A/C 60 or 70 ps

[HarBar42]

can you put the front fog lights on independently from the rear ones?

[Nypimp365]

I like this car aahahah! Too bad I live in the US...

[mimito92]

@Nypimp365 why is it too bad ?? dont they sell volkswagen cars ??

[ShanesAutos]

@mimito92  yeh just not polo's

[Nypimp365]

@mimito92 Yes volkswagen cars are sold in the United States, but this model car is not ;( ;( ;(

[mimito92]

@Nypimp365 ahh that's bad , it is a great car !

[Nypimp365]

@Nypimp365 Unfortunately, this car is not sold in the United States ;( ;( ;(. I'm sad about it.

[vVxJAYxVv]

i want this car soooooooooo bad.

[ShanesAutos]

@vVxJAYxVv I highly recommend it, its a very good car.

[talldude123]

I used to have that little Creative Zen MP3 player until I got my iPod Nano 8GB.

[TheAuto101]

NIce video man, very good job, this is probably your best video yet

[ShanesAutos]

@TheAuto101 thanks man. im currently uploading a short walk around of a ford focus st. u cant hear my commentary very good because there is wind interface so il have annotations in it.

[Drewbie85]

@ShanesAutos one thing though does it have a blue and red right for the engine temp? I know some use that now for some reason.

[ShanesAutos]

@Drewbie85 eh i dont know to be honest but il find out for you.

[ShanesAutos]

@Drewbie85 right some of the LED's on the dash are red and orange. the engine temp is marked as an orange LED tap.

[Drewbie85]

@ShanesAutos  Thank you.

[huze5]

@Drewbie85 Blue means the engine is still cold. Don't r4ev it and blast it when thats on. Red is obviously hot.

[integraz32lover]

The armrest is the same one from the mark 4 jetta,i have a jetta and even the hinges look the same as the one on this

[ShanesAutos]

@integraz32lover yeh i noticed most volkswagens all have very similar interior layouts.

[integraz32lover]

@ShanesAutos but its weird how mine is a 2001,and they are still using the same things from 10 years ago

[ShanesAutos]

@integraz32lover well i guess the old method is simple and user friendly. in the 10 years they just mad a few tweaks to keep it modern. by the way i just uploaded another update video about my new camera.

[integraz32lover]

@ShanesAutos i saw your update video
