Polo's 1200cc turbo equivalent to 2000cc is being overrated...
I would say horsepower wise, polo's 1.2 (105PS) is on par toyota vios 1.5 (109PS)
Torque wise polo 1.2 equivalent to honda civic 1.8 (polo's torque is even better than civic because polo can reach max torque 175Nm @ 1550-4100rpm while civic max torque 174Nm only @ 4300rpm.. early torque translate to better pickup and some how translate to better fuel efficiency as well).
*paiseh.. i m just a good broucher reader
The 7 speed DSG is also another big highlight of VW vehicle.. the dual-cluth allow seamless gear change and you wont feel (or minimal) gear shift jerk in between gear change.. fast gear shifting reduce torque loss during gear change.. more gears allows your car to choose the more appropriate gear ratio at different speed and different driving situation.. overall better fuel efficiency because you have more gear ratio for different driving condition, lesser torque loss during gear change, and better acceleration bcos of seamless gear shift and lower torque loss..
So Miss, now you see the wonder of the polo, small but powerful, fast pickup, great fuel efficiency (award winning car), and the pride of owning a VW.. we havent even start talking about the good handling of the German car.. that will be another long story..
Golf gives even more

p/s: wat else, paying "proton savvy road tax" for a high performance car..
you can read brochures all day but in the end driving experience matters..

Polo 1.2 is overrated.
If you want to experience power in a Polo,you can try Polo GTI....1.8T is real good,to make it better,you can always chip it.Then you'll get around 180-200bhp,depend on which chip you're getting.
The 1.2T is as good as 1.6 NA,IMHO...
Thanks
have you test drove the Polo 1.2tsi before?
plus it's not even meant to be a performance car, so with a torquey and fast gearbox, that's more than good enough
the new polo GTI is 1.4 twincharged, the old polo gti is 1.8T, manual only here.

just a 102 hp n 175Nm???
how can it be a 2.0cc car..
175 Nm @ 1550rpm, + DSG..... bmw 320i struggled to keep up.

Hey, thanks phas3r for your details sharing, it's definite clearer now especially the 1.2cc equivalent to 2.0cc thingy. At first i'am still doubt regarding the performance ( i mainly thought it's 1.2 cc car). Last time i visited the
VW outlet, the sales represent did entertained and provided vast information but its only myself hardly pay attantion as i keep scrutinized all the angle of the cars model , haha.. loves 1st sight

. He did talked all the
performance thingy, torque, rpm, 7 gear box but myself really blurred and no point to discussed futher as i dont know what he saying though. haha, i just a regular driver who doesn't emphazise so much about performance (especially some ladies right) as we not going to fully utilized and speed fast in city either , be a responsible citizen

)
The point is that as long as not paying 100k buck for 1.2cc will do, ya it's sound more convincing for me to deposits now. I bet u so right as the polo really do bare in classy specs. Before that, i opt for either the honda Jazz or yaris toyota, as i comfort with the small and light vehicle do suit ladies handle. But after had seen european cars made me fed up with those jap cars (no offence to others yay). The VW polo and golf classy and elegance interior designed with solid built perfect in every sense as compared to jazz (Sigh

)
Ya, i believed test drive is the best ways to figure out which model suit me better, will do try allocate time for re-visit again. By the ways, what the 7 gearbox again? pack myself more infos before 2nd time revisit the outlet, haha
ya, i'm pure female, no method to proven my identity, sad

in terms of space, jazz might win, but everything else, will make the jazz seems overpriced
VW Polo/Golf is german, has good safety, more image, very solid and its resale value is going to pretty good soon too, of course that one Jap cars still have the edge
