South Africarsquos highest-

selling model of VW cars

VW Polo Vivo is being recharged with the addition of a sportier stylish two-door by-product

named GT Over 40 000 Polo Vivo units (hatchback and sedan) have been sold since its market introduction in March 2010VW cars does it again VW Polo has an remarkable response from VW car fans all Over South Africa The VW Polo sets the trend in VW cars for 2012

If you grew up in the 1980s then yoursquoll know all about Volkswagen and the GT badge A stroke of marketing genius if ever there was these two letters were used to label reasonably warm 16-litre versions of the two-door Golf MK1 A kind of poor manrsquos GTI if you like

Not that this mattered because Vw cars then lacked in sheer pace but the Vw Polo Vivo made up for it with go-

faster trimmings like tartan sports seats exotic dial packs and if I remember correctly a five-speed gearbox A cool yet affordable set of wheels this formula is now being rehashed by VW cars in the form of the new Vw Polo Vivo GT you see here

The Polo Vivo is built up of parts 70 provided by local suppliers The localisation

of parts for both the Polo Vivo and the New Polo (launched in January) has resulted in the creation of hundreds

of jobs and the establishment of a vast Supplier Park in Uitenhage The name Vivo has strong South African

resonance and is easy to remember and pronounce

wwwvwcarsforsalecoza Vw cars has added a few features to the Vw Polo Vivo and are as follow

1) Lowered sporty suspension 2) Sports seats with lsquoRocketrsquo trim 3) Gear shift and handbrake boot with red stitching 4) 3-spoke steering wheel with red stitching and aluminum inserts 5) 15-inch alloy wheels 6)

Tailgate spoiler 7) Twin chrome tailpipes 8) GT badges on grille and tailgate 9)

Seat belts in red 10) Dashboard panels in gunmetal silver

Behind the two doors of Vw Cars (because the Vw Polo GT is only available in a three-door

layout) you are greeted by a pair of astonishingly supportive cloth-covered seats The side bolsters are generous and supportive and did a great job keeping me in place through the corners while the red and black fabric reminded me that I was in a GT and not a standard little Vivo

More than once I was at a traffic light next to a car that was obviously more powerful than the GT only to find myself doing kW-per-ton calculations because I was convinced that the Vw Polo Vivorsquos lower weight would be the deciding factor As a fun fact Jaguar XK-Rs might weigh more than you but they are still quicker than a Vw Polo Vivo GT hellip

A leather-wrapped three-spoke steering is reminiscent of the kind found on the R-series form Vw cars minus the multifunction switchgear and rounds off the interior nicely

The Vw Polo Vivo GT from Vw cars comes with a number of standard features including ABS

electric windows bee sting antenna and more What makes the GT stand out though is the

exclusive exterior and features These include
