21.38 -> Hello OtoDriver viewers
22.88 -> 1.5L hatchback class is one of the most crowded market in Indonesia
27.26 -> And most of them come from Japan
29.72 -> Now, what if a european brand makes a competitor for them?
36.06 -> With a compact hatchback
38.68 -> And the engine is more compact, just 1.2L
41.3 -> but equipped with a turbo
43.26 -> Here it is, Polo 1.2 TSI
58.88 -> The engine Polo uses is the same with the one on a Golf 1.2 TSI
63.88 -> Compare to other rivals the engine is smaller, only 1.2L
67.92 -> And even with turbo it only produces 105 hp
72.62 -> Less powerful than 120 hp Honda Jazz
75.72 -> Also less power than Toyota Yaris and Mazda2
78.68 -> But the torque is quite powerful
81.2 -> Because it can provide 175 Nm
84 -> That's the biggest in its class
86.38 -> And it already comes at rpm as low as 1.500 rpm
91.44 -> all the way to 4.100 rpm
98.22 -> The exterior is the same with the Polo 1.4 it replaces
102.54 -> It's Golf's face on front and the rear is quite conventional
106.58 -> Overall, its design is simple with strong VW's character
112.12 -> Not only exterior that's similar to Golf
115.44 -> once you get inside, you will get cabin that looks like Golf Mk6
120.58 -> Especially the dashboard
122.1 -> But the materials are different
124.54 -> It uses the cheapest materials possible for a Volkswagen
130.68 -> All are hard plastics
132.22 -> Also on the door trim that vanishes the luxuriness
136.58 -> considering that VW is one of the brand
139.52 -> that positioned themself as a premium brand
142.48 -> Luckily they use dark colour
145.34 -> so doesn't feel too cheap
147.8 -> except if you knock it
150.18 -> The premium feels
151.6 -> arise when you look at the center panel
155.72 -> You will see an integrated audio head unit
160.16 -> that can connect your phone via Blueetooth
164.86 -> Almost all medias welcome including SD Card
168.56 -> USB, Aux, iPod, iPhone, Ipad
173.94 -> And even though it doesn't produce sound as good as the one in Golf
179.52 -> it has better bass quality and details compare to its Japanese rivals
186.64 -> Air con uses a climate control system
189.56 -> so it has Auto function
191.64 -> The design is simple
193.22 -> Even it's a digital system, you still control it through analog knobs
198.7 -> so very easy to use while driving
202.56 -> One that we don't like is the panels above
205.54 -> the one that has Hazzard, rear glass heater and stability control
210.26 -> there are 4 empty slots
213.68 -> so it creates impression that it's not the fully equipped Polo
219.42 -> Steering wheel is nice
220.76 -> as it looks like being taken directly from Golf Mk7
225.22 -> It has good leather and wooden panel quality
227.58 -> and it also has flat bottom
230.44 -> So it provides greater leg space
234.98 -> and gives you upmarket feel
238.62 -> The steering can be adjusted tilt and telescopically
243.68 -> So it has the best driving position in its class
265.3 -> As I predicted before
267.68 -> the space in the back is very small
270.64 -> But it has a good thigh support
275.9 -> and it has a quite big space below the seat to rest your feet
284.3 -> Praticality also not too good
286.1 -> as it only has 1 closed storage
290.48 -> 8 small compartments
294.1 -> there are also just 4 cup holders, all in front
302.26 -> That can be said, back seat is only for people under 170 cm
310.84 -> or maybe children
312.3 -> But on the other hand, rear seat is not too safe for children
315.38 -> Like other European car, you can open the doorfrom inside even they are locked
321.42 -> so you need to activate child lock
325.62 -> And it's not too practical to activete it, you have to use the key
332.02 -> Polo has auto power windows on all doors
337.4 -> You can open and close it automatically
343.04 -> and it features a very sensitive pinch sensors
345.58 -> Even your little finger will not be harmed by the power windows
354.58 -> For your infants, there are also ISOFIX hooks in the back
361.78 -> In short, the Japanese rivals beat Polo in term of back accomodation and practicality
366.94 -> Now let's look at the boot
370.96 -> To open the boot, you just push the VW logo at the back
378.86 -> Quite surprising, because even it's not long
382.6 -> it's deep
384.06 -> as you can see when I sit on it
388.78 -> So we can say it has enough boot space
392.12 -> although still not as big as Honda Jazz or Toyota Yaris
397.82 -> For the spare tyre, it doesn't use a space saver one
404.34 -> It has the same size tyre but without aluminium wheel
415.06 -> When you need more space, you can always fold the rear seats easily
419.9 -> although it's not totally flat
425.16 -> So this car has nothing special in acommodation and practicality
428.7 -> But VW is famous for its fun to drive
432.16 -> So I drove this car to see how it feels compared to its Japanese rivals
438.04 -> Yeah it feels similar
439.12 -> Not similar to its rival
441.04 -> but similar to VW Golf
442.86 -> The way you sit, drive, changing gear, engine response
452.54 -> It actually feels like the mini version of the Golf
455.56 -> It feels solid with a good handling characteristic
461 -> also it has adequate grip
463.26 -> Although not as precise as Golf since it has more body roll
469.38 -> It is still better than its rivals, except Mazda2
475.34 -> Mazda2 still has sharper handling
477.78 -> But it combines good handling with good comfort
484.02 -> The suspension is a little bit stiff
487.42 -> but has mature characteristic
488.92 -> and not bouncy
491.74 -> On the highway you can easily be speeding without ever noticing it unless you look at the speedometer
501.06 -> This car really gives a proper European car feeling
504.44 -> Acceleration is good since it has turbo
509.36 -> and big torque.
511.66 -> 0-100 km/h is 10.7 sec (claimed by VW)
515.56 -> And our own test gave a 10.5 secs result
520.42 -> That was when we used S mode and let the gear changed on redline
529.92 -> But we found a quicker way
533.94 -> Just use Manual mode and change gear on 5,000 rpm
538.88 -> so it will always be on the maximum torque.
541.88 -> With that method we clocked 10.0 secs for 0-100 km/h
546.64 -> so it is slightly faster than Mazda2 or Honda Jazz.
552.62 -> And don't forget it has smaller engine that suppose to be more economical
555.64 -> On the city route it gave us 13 km/l
559.4 -> And on the highway, travelling 100 km/h the engine revs 2,000 rpm
563.4 -> so it can easily return 20 km/l
570.18 -> Ahhh, same colour
572 -> That Mazda 2 is used by our videographers
575.48 -> Because we also will do a comparison test
581 -> One more thing
582.2 -> Since it is a turbo car, the characteristic is different
586.36 -> There's a lag between you floor the throttle until it accelerate hard
595.32 -> One of the reason why this car is quick and economical is its transmission
606.22 -> which has 7-speed dual clutch
609.1 -> so it's rapid, close ratio and very smooth
614 -> But this transmission has issue in the previous Polo 1.4
622.8 -> That car felt jerky on slow traffic, and also happened on Golf Mk6
634.66 -> But somehow I didn't feel that anymore on this car
640.14 -> Apperently VW had improved its computer programming
643.96 -> and this car feels smooth on the stop and go condition
650.9 -> Even though Polo is the cheapest VW and Germany car in Indonesia
656.64 -> But it still comes with high standard
662 -> One that you will instantly notice is its cabin noise
667.62 -> The sound proofing is good from the outside, tyre and even from engine bay
675.12 -> But since Polo is positioned to fight Japanese cars and has to be affordable
679.06 -> VW was not giving some features to Indonesia
683.54 -> The dashboard has no soft materials whatsoever
687.52 -> it also doesn't have auto lamp, let alone HID or LED
692.28 -> fortunately it still has front and rear fog lamps
695.54 -> Wiper also not with auto feature and this car comes with only 2 airbags
699.32 -> and the brakes in the rear wheels are drum brakes
703.76 -> Not an issue when you only use it normally on the road
708.78 -> But for hard or circuit driving, those brakes are not as good as the disc brake
732.1 -> VW sells Polo for Rp 259 million (USD 20,000)
735.96 -> which means similar to its Japanese rivals
738.92 -> but it only comes in 1 trim
741.74 -> So this type is the only Polo you can buy
747.2 -> while its rivals like Honda Jazz, Toyota Yaris or Mazda 2 have several trims to choose
752.14 -> Some are cheaper, some are more expensive
756.44 -> Overall, Polo is really nice to drive, but it doesn't acommodate your family good enough
762.52 -> If you're single or has a little family
766.22 -> then you have to consider this car
784.92 -> So that's our verdict for VW Polo 1.2 TSI
