Volkswagen Polo 2002-2009

The Volkswagen Polo Sedan is one of the most capable mid-size sedans available at this time, equipped with a new generation of engines and automatic transmission. The car is considered a medium-sized city car that provides comfort and safety with a distinctive, harmonious design through the original design of the rear pillar, along with the galvanized body, the roof full of special curves, the large rear window, which gives the car a coupe shape, and a streamlined trunk as well, with horizontally divided rear lights and a drawn-out design of the car from the back, which gives it great elegance. The Polo Sedan was first launched in 2001 and went on sale in early 2002. It shares a production platform with the SEAT Ibiza MK3 and Skoda Fabia. The car is available with 1.2-liter, 1.4-liter, and 1.6-liter engines, in addition to a 1.9-liter diesel engine. The cars include Comfort Line, Trend Line, and High Line versions. The car has a distinctive design similar to the Passat.

The car is available in the Egyptian market in two models: a 1400cc engine with 75 hp, a 4-speed automatic transmission, acceleration to 100 km/h in 15.2 seconds, a top speed of 171 km/h, a weight of 1123 kg, and a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters.

The second model has a 1600cc engine with 101 hp, a 6-speed manual transmission, and the ability to accelerate to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds, in addition to a top speed of 185 km/h, and a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters.

Like small cars, it is fuel-efficient, which means lower operating costs. It is also suitable for city driving due to its size. Its owners confirm that the car offers good performance and reliability, despite being manufactured in China, but at a Volkswagen factory and under the Volkswagen name. The transmission is easy to operate, and the engine is smooth and fluid. The car is good and fuel consumption is economical.

The 1400 cc version weighs 1123 kg and has a 45 litre fuel tank. The 1600 cc version is 4.179 m long, 1.650 m wide and has a wheelbase of 2.464 m. The car has four doors and although it is a medium-sized car, the interior is very comfortable. Inside, there are four headrests for the four seats that can be adjusted as needed. The car is also equipped with high-tech seat belts. The new car also features the ability to fold the seats to increase the trunk space. It is also equipped with power steering and central locking. The rear of the car is a bit narrow and it comes with a good-capacity trunk. There are also various plastic parts in the car cabin that cause a lot of noise when crossing bumps.

Spare Parts

40%

The Polo Sedan is considered expensive to maintain and has expensive spare parts, especially if purchased from the dealership, as their prices are high. The dealership also has difficulty providing spare parts easily. Alternatively, you can buy spare parts from outside the dealership, which are cheaper, but they are still expensive compared to Korean cars, for example. They are also available only at a limited number of dealers, not everyone.

Suspension

70%

The car has a suspension with German components, although many of the car's parts are manufactured in China. The car is very stable on the road, and the car's suspension is durable and can last for a long time. There are no general complaints about the car's suspension or common defects.

Resale

30%

The Polo Sedan has German components and a large percentage of Chinese components. The car was manufactured in the Volkswagen factory in China. There are Egyptian and Gulf versions of the car, but the price of returning the car is not good due to its lack of prevalence and limited presence in the Egyptian market and its lack of fame like the Passat and Jetta. Therefore, its availability in the market is limited and there is difficulty in reselling it. Its price decreases significantly in the case of resale, especially with the spread of its manufacture in China, and the majority of Volkswagen owners and those intending to buy it do not tend towards it.
