Did VAG import the Polo Sedan into Australia?
I spotted one recently in Sydney and I had never seen one before.
Private import?

There are a few in Melbourne,2005 models,but I am not sure how many were imported,maybee a few hundred.
They were all manuals,and expensive,for the same money you could have bought a Corolla 1.8 auto sedan,which was probably much more car.
The Polo sedan died in Australia,but is STILL a top seller in South Africa.
And the new Polo sedan,sold in India as the Vento,Russia,and South Africa is a great looking car this time around,looks like a mini new Jetta.Comment

Thanks guys.
Yes, it isn't the prettiest of cars. Reminds me of the Mazda 2 and Toyota Echo Sedans (hatches with a boot tacked on).Comment

Here is a review. Apparently, hatchbacks are seen as lower end in some markets (eg Russia)Resident grumpy old fart

Is the drive train interchangable with the hatch?Comment

I imagine the underpinnings would be similar... 1.8t polo sedan
I saw a couple of facelifted 9N3 versions while I was in Shanghai last month, they look a little better

Not all that good looking, but I sure could do with the extra boot space.

It looks weirder in the metal since the car is so narrow. Those 3/4 pics make it look much more balanced than it actually is.
