You are wrong, latest gen Honda City is the new God Car overtook Vios's statue. Very fast acceleration, 140km/h cornering at LDP without fear due to VSA stability control. I have even race against a Honda City going uphill slope using gen2. Even fully throttled revving till 6k rpm, the Honda City is in front of me and slowly disappearing. Friend told me after driving Honda City, he drive every auto car will feel very siput..

i know the feeling man..
i also faced that before..
it's like.. hmm...

If not mistaken the 1.6mpi takes 12.5 seconds from 0-100? It's like Persona acceleration

City and Vios are 2 seconds faster

I think Kia Rio is faster?

Once u drive a powerful car, u can notice the difference instantly.
Tat day i drove my brother in law old Mark X 2.5. Very powerful and shiok. Then i switch back to my car and have the same funny feeling. I checked whether did i accidentally ON eco mode. I even ask told my wife is our car experiencing sudden drop of power coz it feels underpower, lol..

I've been driving a 2017 Polo hatchback 1.6 for the past few days, city driving and highway, and B-roads. still driving before I return it.

Positives
- good as a city car, easy to drive, easy to park.
- stock audio system is not that bad.
- ergonomic, everything within driver reach
- reasonably well put together
- FC at highway legal speeds is reasonable
- throttle response is rather eager, but drivetrain is smooth when driven sedately
- suspension is tuned for comfort driving

Negatives
- no ESP
- poor NVH on poor road surfaces, noisy. don't really get the "conti" feel
- generic Goodyear tyres, same like new Myvis, no indication of the model, just says Goodyear. they are horrible
- don't like the overall drivetrain character, I guess it's subjective. I kinda like prefer the Jazz/City/BRV drivetrain
- car jiggles under heavy braking, not something I expected from the chassis
- suspension is tuned for comfort driving on slow speeds, like the old Hyundai Getz. you can feel the subsequent bounces after going over a bump. this is not a car you wanna touge or "pek" corner.
- less spacious than a Myvi

Spare parts and servicing isn't gonna be cheap. If you are buying it because it meets your budget of RM6x,xxxx then you will kill yourself later for maintenance. If you want a non-Asian car, the 208 puretech is more modern and up-to-date. you must be a fan of the brand to want a Polo. I drive a VW as well (Polo is a courtesy car) and I won't buy the Polo. Nope. Let's face it, it's a entry-level VW, nothing more, nothing less.

Personally, if I want a new hatchback that is good to drive and have a cozy nice interior, maybe an Iriz manual. Else I'd go with a Jazz E and call it a day.

City 140 only? Your Gen2 can do better bro.

Nope, i raced with City on climbing uphill, gen2 totally lost even rev till 6k rpm before upshifting. city's CVT continuous variable transmission able to get-away from my sight.

just got the car. i think i agree with your comments above
