Thx Scorpio. Insurance in S.A. is pretty good. I've now changed from personal use to professional use insurance. On my Polo, it was R258.00 (roughly £21.00), and now on the Mini it's R345.00 (£28.00) - based on ZAR12.50 - £1. It's all done on our family scheme, so we get a fairly good discount. I...

Here it is - pics of my new car. Mini Cooper in Cosmos Black * 1598cc 16V - 115bhp/85kW - 149Nm - t.s. 200km/h (125mph) * ABS + CBC + EBD * RFI - run flat indicator * White roof + side view mirrors - with white stripes on bonnet * Seven hole light alloy 5.5 Jx15-inch rims in silver * In South Africa...

Okay, fair enough - but there are plenty of 'lemons' around in any make and model of cars. I know of a guy, whom bought a Polos for his wife and mother-in-law - both giving huge problems. Another: Merc C220CDi - so mucg problems, MBSA exchanged it for another car. 3 years ago, Renault SA gave my dad...

After much though and inner deliberation, I decided to sell the Polo and buy a Mini. Even with all the hick-ups and stuff I had with the Polo - I'm still going to miss it. Took the Mini for a test drive this morning - and I was hooked. Being a rare sight on South African roads - it's a real attentio...

I've now joined those of you disgraced with your cars, because of poor built quality! I'm seriously considering selling the car, as it's year is almost up - and getting a new Mini. The rear discs now make an aweful noise when I reverse and brake - irratating! When I park the car, and switch it off, ...

VWSA has dropped the 1.4 16V unit it uses in the Polo and Polo Classic models. It has been replaced by a 1.4 8V unit, giving a 2kW power boost. This is not the first time VWSA has does this. A few years back, with the Golf and Jetta II, it dropped a 1.8 16V unit for a 1.8 8V (think it was called Dig...

VWSA has decided to degrade some of their cars. Our local range is very limited to 4 engines and basically 2 trim levels. The 1.6 Standard models that came fully colour coded, will now feature black door strips, side mirrors and door handles. My question is - why?? I was also heavily dissapointed in...

YUK! I think someone had this car butchered!

I've got a Fujifilm Finepix 2800Z - compact, brilliant and feature rich. Dunno if it's still on the market though?!

Regrets, uhmmm...selling my Clio Privilege 1.6 - nah kidding, but I do miss that car a lot!!! That thing moved and gripped to the road....*sigh*

The Polo Sedan (branded the Polo Classic in S.A.), has been such a huge success locally, that there are now more sedans on South African roads than hatchbacks - and the hatchback had an 8 month head start! The most polupular Polo's in S.A. seem to be the 1.4TDi version, followed closely by the 1.6 S...

Damn Nelson, your car is high

About the SatNav thingie - it will not have a tv function, as the display is just a normal LCD screen, and it's only a basic system that's fitted to the Polo. Also check the buttons - no TV function! As for the side mirrors...why do you say they are different? I checked your pic against those on my ...
