soslow Posted July 9, 2019 Share Hi. I'm looking for a 2019 Polo confortline, but the prices vary so much.Surely there is a DP or Sales manager that is prepared to drop some stock to a really good price to get rid of some demo polo's? Easy, cash buyer that is just looking for a great deal on a fantastic car.Please helpWhat regional area are you in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted July 9, 2019 Share Not to mention THE most stolen/hijacked vehicle in SA.............. Given that Toyota & VW sell more cars than all the other brands together statistically that is to be expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranswurm Posted July 9, 2019 Share Would not call myself a brand snob but happen to have a few VW's in my life and not a days problem with any of them. Jetta III - Had it many years with well over 240k on the clock when it was stolen.Jetta V 2.0 FSI - Lovely car. Not a dot of problems with the car with 120k on the clock when written off in an accident.Passat B7 (2011) - Over 110 000 km without problems when I had to sell it when we left for Germany.Polo 1.2 TDI Blue motion - Also about 90 or 100k on the clock when we had to sell it when leaving. Love this car wrt to handling, drive and oh the fuel consumption or should I say sniffing. Often ran on 3,8l / 100 km.Currently drive a demo model Golf Station wagon 1,6 TDI. Also nearing 100 K. No issues. Bought the car with about 30K on the clock. Have to agree with you. VW have served my parents and my family well.My most recent was a Caravelle Microbus 2.6i the old shape which was indestructible and maybe the best car I ever had.Then a Passat which was flawless as well and many Golfs Cannot fault them as a brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Crispy Posted July 9, 2019 Share See it as an opportunity to buy something else. Those TSi engines fail harder than our education system.I've only heard good stories. What fails on them?Which other options do you reckon are better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted July 10, 2019 Share Given that Toyota & VW sell more cars than all the other brands together statistically that is to be expected? Even taking that into account I seem to recall they have a higher incidence of theft. Toyota parts are interchangeable with the Hi Ace too iirc. another reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefmeister Posted July 10, 2019 Share I've only heard good stories.What fails on them?Which other options do you reckon are better?They start burning oil, needing to be overhauled.The 118 kW 1.4 TSi and that polo gti engines are the worst, followed by the 1.2 TSi 80? kW.If you ever have the opportunity to get an honest answer from vw employee, they'll tell you they do these repairs on a weekly/daily basis.
