Your honesty is hilarious, you had me chuckling. I like how blunt you are. No manga manga. The polo is where one should draw the line, never mind R Line. It's like VW charges you R50k just for the badge alone. Having said all of that, it is a good-looking car.
Totally agree! For R500k rather spend it on a low mileage second-hand preface Polo GTI. . Phela not much has changed if you look at it plus I think the preface Polo looks better anyway
I agree Muzi, there's no value in getting an R Line over the Life DSG. I personally wouldn't spend this type of money on cars but it would far better sense to wait a few years and pick up a fully specced Life DSG rather where some other sucker has already paid for all the extras and the depreciation
Considering the trajectory of car prices these days, I don't think the Pre-owned vehicles will be affordable either. It might happen that the price difference will be negligible to a point that it will be just better to buy a new car. The car market has gone wild.
I bought a brand new Polo R line DSG 2021 model last year August, full house, all extras included!.. I thought I would trade in and go for 2022 Polo R line but no ways I'm not coming for that..VW disappointed on this new 1 honestly, It looks very formal, woman like, it doesn't have that aggressive exterior like the one I'm driving now... I'm so fine with my 2021 Model.✌️✌️
Yip this is on point Muzi. Couldn't agree more. By the way, Need for Speed Carbon was the last one I played. My goodness those were good days. It all started with Underground and that R34 GTR. They were simple times in life :) Hope you guys all doing well.. and yes, as far as I'm concerned, if you gonna buy a fully specd R Line at 500k and not just get the GTi then there is something wrong with you 😉😅
Man been watching your Videos I am so impressed 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 it's nice seeing a Car UA-camr from Around The Lowveld region I am from Bushbuckridge Xanthia. From watching Your content you seem to be around Nelspruit. You really know the specs, details and are knowledgeable on finance and rip offs. Can't wait to learn so much from watching your videos.
The R-line is worth every penny. Everyone is allowed to share their views an opinion. I like that you are respectfully voicing yours and you are definitely not offending anyone. I feel if you're looking for that little extra something something and your budget allows you, why not...
I would definitely look at the old polo model with an R line kit that I can get a fully spec one at a very low price compared to buying it new.will look for a certified pre owned though.
Subbed, loved this video man. I ended up buying the exact you one you told me not to buy HA. Your videos are very informative, and to the point keep them coming man please!
Actually there are so many other options coming from VW competitors that if VW keeps bumping up the price of the Polo it may become obsolete like the Golf
Very good review. And accurate information. VW is very clever when it comes to drawing people in with marketing info. It is disappointing to see that the price point does not seem worth it. It is simply not justified. Not keen on the new rims either. The pre facelift is sexier imo.
I honestly agree with you Muzi, when I saw the R line, I was like no man, that's it?? This style package is nonsensical. I just went for the Life one. It's literally the same thing. The only thing I want is the light package.
This is unbelievable 😂 can someone please explain how they got to this price tag man? Honestly your right Muzi this is daylight robbery it's unacceptable.
The worst part is that even if VW SA can see that consumers are not happy, they will never adjust the price. They will just discontinue the model and move on with life😁😁
Brilliant argument. I like your videos . You make my decision even clearer now. Buy a life dsg and spend R7k and install side skirts and rims and it becomes a Rline....hahahah. 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Excellent video. You are 200% right. The pricing is ridiculous. I have the pre face-lift highline r line with the 6spd manual. Looking at changing to the face-lift but pricing is ridiculous for what you get. It's like we downgrading when you compare what you get with the face-lift. VW has lost the plot.
Just an additional difference you forgot to point out is that the R-line comes standard with the update visual cockpit as well as the upgraded climate control and mood lighting. But this is still not work the price you pay. Rather go for a life dsg
😊I'm actually one of the guys who look down on Peugeot. I recorded the Peugeot 3008 around december last year but I'm lazy to do the editing and post the review. I feel like no one will want to see it because people hardly talk about Peugeot. I will try to check out the 208 whenever I have time.
The aim is to get more people into T-Cross’ rather than the polos now, SUVS and Crossovers are bread and butter now.. the price bumps are to simply slowly annihilate the polo sales enough to shift assembly back to Germany then assemble the T-Cross and T-Roc here cheaply.
VW has been bumping their prices for the Polo for quite some time now. I'm not surprised at this development but at the same time, this is ripping off people. Above all else, yerrr even the base Polo is out of reach for many of us. Buying second hand seems like a more viable option when buying a VW
Damn! Robbery indeed, The Previous version of the R line was way better💯 you'd even notice that it was an R line coming from distance. Can't say the same with the new one. I bet the "difference" is just the R logo! Fully speced polo life is better with the price✌🏽.
The price is wild because the R-line now only comes as a 1.0L (85kw) DSG...If they can put the R-line body kit on the 70kw polo life manual it would be more affordable. This R-line move was just an own goal by VW.
Disappointed. I used to own the pre-facelift Polo Rline. The looks really distinguished it from the normal Polo. You cannot tell the difference between the Polo Life and R line more especially from the front. The price is also ridiculous. I bought mine brand new for R380000 fully spec’d (in 2018). Yes cars increase every year but it’s getting ridiculous now
The pre-facelift R-line still looks stunning even now, especially the blue one🔥🔥...I wanted to buy it as my first car in 2019 but I ended up buying a vivo due to budget constraints.
@@MuziSambo eish that model still turns heads even today. VW dropped thr ball on this one. I was a bit worried about the longevity of their 1.0l engine but I see it's a bit solid. But try to pull off on a very steep hill with atleast 4 occupants on a very hot day it struggles. But a very great car nonetheless
VWSA should launch a 1.4lt or 1.5lt TSI version instead of giving us variations of the puny drouning sounding 1.0lt engine which is not suitable for driving long distances .
Opel cars in South Africa are now distributed by Peugeot since General Motors left the country in 2017. That means your aftersale needs for your Corsa will be handled by Peugeot and I don't think I'm comfortable with that.
What?! The R line is more than just a body kit. It has climate control, digitial cockpit, rear and front sensors, navigation system, high beam assist as standard and a lot cheaper to get add ons than if you were to put the same add ons on a Life. A Life would turn out to be even more expensive if you were to do so! So, R-Line is definitely the way to go!
Facts the R line is a rip off considering it still has the puny 1.0L 3 cyl rather get a polo GTI for little bit more money...if you can't afford the GTI the life offers 95% of what the R line does for just under 100k less
R-line not R-Line it's like they are selling you a bicycle with a mortobike wheels 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣the difference is the digital cluster and that seven sign light on the back
I would reather buy a 2020 polo Rline not this one just imagine spending half a million on a body kid even polo GTI is better you will show this Rline flames
I need to ask you something why are all rline,s that i see are without i.q lights like whats going on. i can say that i have probably seen 10000 Rline,s without them lights do people just think it looks ugly or what
It's just a cost cutting tactic and I think I have mentioned it in the video. An R-line with all the extras except IQ.lights retails for R490k. When you add IQ lights it goes to R505k and no one wants to pay that much for an R-line cos it's just insane!
The guy narrating the video is leadership.
Thanks for the critical review I almost fell for VW tricks of spending more on unnecessary stuff

R500k for a 1ktr +-85kw voetsek.... Even the VW salesman told me they got this wrong overpriced.
Rather just get the full fat polo GTI for little bit more money instead of this ricer

That's a great idea💯
You make it easy for us to choose 🔥🙌
Agreed - it's just an ordinary Polo in a fancy dress. It's also priced far too close to the GTi
Subbed, loved this video man. I ended up buying the exact you one you told me not to buy HA.

It's hard to resist the temptation man, I know.😁😁We forgive you😉

VW is crazy as hell. I saw a Golf standard, doesn't even have a sunroof but it's costs over 400k with 14 thousand kms covered
please name an option similar to the polo
I'm a vw fan and I must say it's time I became a fan of something else

Again. A very informative video.. I just wish you could make longer ones with more information
I looove your reviews , they are so honest
Thank you for tuning in and always engaging with my content
Spot on Muzi it's useless to spend 50k with just body Rline kit
Hi Muzi, this video was most informative. Thank you.
I'm glad you found the video insightful.

The pre-facelift R-line really stood out from the standard model polo in terms of looks👌🏽
I always tell people just go for the flagship when it comes to VW/Audi.
I agree 💯
My respect for you just sky rocketed. Thank you brue wam.

@@lilithomas9692 Yes
Thanks man you open my eyes about this polo r line
This guy is talking a truth From the begging to an end
The bodykit is worth it. I would spend over R500k without even thinking twice😂❤
Excellent and funny video :). This daylight robbery by VW deserves to be exposed.
Consumers need to stop buying it that how this game works
That's the intro we never knew we deserved😂😂😂 facts on facts
I wish they had that "beats" sound system on the Life too because I'm all for sound. This R line is radiculously expensive.

Thank you so much for the video. I was looking forward to purchasing the R-line, but over R 500K is too much. I’ll settle for the Life.

MY MAN PLEASE REVIEW THE NEW PEUGEOT 208... THAT CAR IS SO UNDERRATED!!!
😊I'm actually one of the guys who look down on Peugeot. I recorded the Peugeot 3008 around december last year but I'm lazy to do the editing and post the review. I feel like no one will want to see it because people hardly talk about Peugeot. I will try to check out the 208 whenever I have time.
Similar to Polo Vivo black styling, you pay more money for black roof, mirrors and rims
Exactly!
Bought my rline in 2019 for 320k, it’s ridiculous how the prices have sky rocketed over the years. But anyways I got rid of it(the car has no power).
non facelifts they are my favourite coz there is huge difference between normal polo and r line
atleast with the 2021 rline the bumper was different you could see it coming from miles. now these are the same.
So you pay so much money for number and headlights I think we need to start asking ourself why must we pay more for sporty kit not performance
Thank you for sharing your opinions ❤️
Same here, not worth it, VW will make you pay 500 K for a car and still get the same plastics that you get in a polo vivo
...and you have to pay more money for optional extras which should just come as Standard.
I honestly don't know what it is about a polo, I mean Volkswagen could sell it for almost a million and people would still buy it.
The aim is to get more people into T-Cross’ rather than the polos now, SUVS and Crossovers are bread and butter now.. the price bumps are to simply slowly annihilate the polo sales enough to shift assembly back to Germany then assemble the T-Cross and T-Roc here cheaply.
Got a point bro... Can't spend that much for a body kit
Thank you. I nearly made a mistake
Bottom line, don't buy the R-line! In fact, look at the competitors!
What would you suggest as alternative for the same power output?
Hyundai i20 N line, TGDI. 400k with 95kW plus moon roof.
Clio
But agree to disagree , rhat DSG gearbox is the key seller for all VW vehicles . Now thats what also knocks the price up in the polo .
agreed you get life or style version and maybe you upgrade just the wheels whit 16'
VW has been bumping their prices for the Polo for quite some time now. I'm not surprised at this development but at the same time, this is ripping off people. Above all else, yerrr even the base Polo is out of reach for many of us. Buying second hand seems like a more viable option when buying a VW
I agree the new R line is over priced, id rather opt for the Polo Life DSG.
That's the best option because the cars are just the same. The only difference is the body kit.
Imagine 500k for a non GTI polo...at that price if it's not a GTI it's a rip off
@@MuziSambo Body kit and engine power but performance doesn’t differ that much VW now taking us for a ride broe

Daylight robbery u r spot on.
Love the good job you doing..
My brother advise me if I have R350 000 witch Polo I can buy please
You tell the truth as always... I like it.
Between a second hand golf 7 R line and a second hand polo R line,which one is a good choice?
This R line should have that 1.5TSi engine 110kw/250nm found in top spec T-Cross and mid spec Audi A1
True...a performance boost nyana was gonna do the trick not just a body kit.
Might as well buy the Polo GTI and get a few extras for 500K. Great video bru. 👍

The Chinese companies must start making hatchbacks to compete with VW. They are now out of line because demand is too much.
One question comrade, are still gonna make comparisons to other cars with the polo?
