Dear Editor
Two thumbs up to the fitting of all round electric windows to the spruced up VW Polo GT, as the nonsensical winding mechanism for the back passengers’ windows is ridiculous to any car anyway.
Maybe, Volkswagen South Africa absorbed too much of former Delta Motor Corporation cum watered-down General Motors South Africa’s stylists that seemingly transfered their defunct Opel Astra Euro Series’ bland styling into the current Polo Vivo series. However, I am still advocating for the Polo to have a standardised DSG [Direct Shift Gearbox], officially the first faster-than-any-human-being gear-change Automatic gearbox across its range, thus having the Stick Shift aka Manual Transmission only available on the entry model Polo Vivo.
Talking about the Polo Vivo, a Digital Fascia could also freshen up the long outdated and dull analogue before that model has reached its end-of-cycle model range.
