The Vento has discount of RM10k. Is it a good buy over Vios or City even with the 1.6 variant?

Be aware Vios & City are workhorses and cheap to maintain. Vento will require a lot more attention and higher cost maintenance.

Need advice on Polo Mk7 auto transmission. 1.6NA engine

I assume its wet clutch, correct me if wrong. Has transmission problem on this model been solved. How often must ATF be changed to keep transmission healthy. What does it cost to repair a failed one.

Tq in advance.

Polo selling at Malaysia still MK5 la...
1.6NA engine with 6AT gearbox, lesser problem yes, but slower acceleration.

The 6AT gearbox is Aisin 09G, a few model such as Mini Cooper and Audi US market using it. Some older unit experienced jerking gear shift which was due to solenoid valve issue, my friend's Mini Cooper experienced that then he replace used gearbox.

Common problem to certified genuine Polo 1.6NA MK5 are:
1. Original brake pad made by Apache India juddering, can be resolved by skim brake disc and use 3rd party brake pad such as TRW and Brembo.
2. Center handrest compartment opener broken.
3. Front ECU bracket broken, can be resolved by cable tie.
4. Gear shifter rubber bush broken, cannot shift gear lever. Most people panicked and call tow truck or ask foreman come onsite replace. Pro guy go engine bay use thumb to push the shifter to start car, reinsert back then try luck shift and quickly go workshop...
5. Aircond compressor I think solenoid or clutch something faulty. Many will tell you replace full compressor RM2k above. My friend claimed warranty but have to left car at VW PJ (sudah bungkus kedai) 1 month last time due to they telling it will costs RM7k. There are some shops can replace the faulty part within RM500 I think.
6. ABS speed sensors on 4 wheel will take turn gone faulty within 2 months, I guess lifespan is like that. Nowadays very cheap OEM less than RM90/pc with labor.

Yeah all those above problems are not trolling but every owners confirmed eventually will get unless bought new and resell within 3 years.
