By now, regular paultan.org readers would be familiar with everything there is to know about the recently-launched Volkswagen Polo Hatchback 1.6. We’ve comprehensively covered the locally-assembled car’s arrival here, right from its preview at KLIMS13 last year to its official launch last week.
Last weekend, we even featured a full live gallery of the CKD VW Polo, pointing out every visible difference between it and the imported Polo 1.2 TSI. There’s a lot more to this new model than a simple price reduction, we can assure you of that. But, we’re not finished with it just yet.
You’ve read about it, seen some photos, and now here’s our man Jonathan James Tan in our new video walk-around feature, telling it as it is. Have a watch above, and tell us what you think in the comments section. There will be more video content coming your way, so do subscribe to our YouTube channel. Enjoy.
