The car looks decent. Interior looks decent unlike the cheap interior of Prius C.

The price and rebates seem ok.

So why isn't anyone else interested to buy Polo Sedan?

I see so many Polo Sedans park in storage at SC, nobody want to buy.

Is there something wrong with the car?

An Indian car? No thanks. No stability control, MPI engine and only two airbags.

Then those who buy Ford Fiesta cars, can say it is Thai car because it is manufactured in Rayong.

But affordable VW. Most VW is above 140k except for the super small Polo Sport Tsi.

Too expensive for the specs. T&H buyers are used to it. But those who consider conti brands are IMHO better educated and more demanding. Otherwise they would buy T&H. Made in India fine. As long as it is proper VW QC. A bit outdated engine and gearbox also acceptable... At least proven. But 2 airbags and no stability control is bad. Very bad. So much worse than Fiesta, and much more expensive.

You really don't know anything about cars don't you? Polo is piratically empty.. Without the main safety features and being priced at rm85k for a standard 1.6 engine.. It's SUPER OVERPRICE.

Fiesta on the other hand has everything. 6 airbags, Traction Control, Stability control and so on. More importantly it's priced cheaper. If Polo Sedan is priced at RM65k or lower then it would be affordable. at 99k? Hell no.. who would want to buy?

It is easy, I have bring my friend to test drive before.

First I ask him test Polo Sedan first, after test I bring him test Polo Hatchback.

Then he will never look at the Sedan anymore.

End Story

Can you find a similar Ford Fiesta in USA or Europe? Can you find a similar Polo sedan in USA or Europe? Polo sedan is a mainstream car for developing countries like India & Brazil but sold at a premium in Malaysia.

Yeah you are right but still, it only has a single DIN head unit. It just way overpriced.

I like single DIN units. Can fit my own radio smile.gif

The Polo sedan was on sale long time ago in Germany, but no one buys B segment sedans so they stopped it.

Underpowered engines? IIRC I recently saw that the basic Polo comes with 60 HP. NA. No air con. Or any other creature comforts. Although it did have ESP and 6 airbags I believe.

The base spec contis on sale in Germany are shockingly empty and "underpowered". All they have is a ton of passive and some active safety equipment.

Lets put aside the spec being low & without turbo. Look past that & actually you have to give credit that its ride and handling actually is very good indeed matching the like of fiesta & their own polo hatch. The interior space is large enough to beat fiesta & again the polo hatch. If want a good ride handling car like conti, new not 2nd hand, need space, boot, cheap and non national car....u r only left with polo sedan.

This is the first time I heard the Polo sedan has a ride and handling that can match Fiesta.

From the statement i guess you have not even test driven it yet. Anyway, go ahead & read local test drive review such as Paultan. They admit its quite close.
