i didnt know these things existed... anyways its the first time ive seen one and i usually notice dubs around the place.

these were taken heading into the eastern distributor

I don't think they sold all that well. It was called the "Polo Classic" and wore the same nose as the 9N Polos (ie, the four lights).

The fact that they were offered only with a manual gearbox (the practice still continues to this day with the TDI and GTI Polos - I honestly think not having an auto TDI is a huge mistake) was a turnoff to many potential buyers.

Honestly, I think the major turnoff was that the Polo Classic was more expensive than its hatchback sibling, and made in China to boot. Rightly or wrongly, "Made in China" has a stigma of cheapness attached to it, so attempting to sell a "Made in China" car at prices suggesting "Made in Germany", even with the VW badge was always going to be a tough ask.

I must say that it reminds me of the old Ventos that were based off the Golf III.

If it had a boot spoiler, It`d look like a Cordoba

the cordoba is a polo with a boot! saw one in europe with vw polo badging but it was a polo definately.
if the polo was released with auto they would sell hundreds to the grey set!
vw expected to sell alot of these made in china cars,but thank god they god lugged with them.their made in china test failed and hopefully will stop them from offering us that crap again.

I've driven one as a loan car from a VW stealer. They do in fact come in auto, and yes they are a POS.

Looks like a mini mid 90's Passat from the rear

I've seen one in melbourne up on spring st in the city. They are a odd looking car.

Didn't think it was that funny

[naughty]

we get plenty of those here in South Africa - from the same assembly lines where we get the hatchbacks from - pretty commonplace enough to be considered normal here

heres a link to more info the newer models - ie same headlights as the polo hatchback

here they definitely are not a POS - theres no auto here - but we do get a tiptronic

I saw one with bigger rims a few weeks back. I had a chuckle to myself about it as it just looked odd!
