I don't understand the point of this question. Whether it deserves to be the best selling car is an opinion, whether it is the best selling car is fact. Who is to say whether it deserves to be, all that matters is that it is...

Thats exactly what i was thinking, OP who is in charge of the poll?

IOL.

Maybe should have added that
My only problem with the results and the facts is that 52% of our population actually believes the polo vivo is the best they can get for that price
There are so many better options.

What is your actual problem with the Vivo?

 

[JackWhite]

People have already voted with their wallets.

Better options to you maybe, but not to them. People buy cars for various reasons, not just "what it comes with". Believe it or not, things like resale value feature high on the list for many buyers, especially at the lower price points...

I recently bought a car in that range and the VIVO was the 1st model I disqualified. It really is crazy how much less you get for the same money vs. other manufacturers.

Ended up getting a Ford Figo with the Sandero being a close 2nd (bigger, more features but lazy engine).

Dull as dishwater...and with VW even the steering wheel is an optional extra. But they are reliable and easy to drive.

 

[Rouxenator]

Of course it does! The SA car buying public are morons. They buy a sheeple's car because they are sheeple.

 

[FiestaST]

This is the Vivo I want...

That sticker kit looks sweeeet!

In that price range the competition is heating up but in your opinion which are the better options?

 

[Stokstert]

Shame, Toyota can't get near the figures of the Vivo, not even by combining new and old versions of their Corollas.
If VW did the same with the Polo they would have more than three times as many as Toyota with the Corollas.

Yeah, they should rather get the Ford Figo, amirite?

 

[Rouxenator]

No, do not buy old cars being sold as new. The Vivo, Figo, Spark Lite, Aveo, i10 (non-Grande) are old cars. You buy them used, not new.

 

[Surv0]

How do you figure that out? Vivos are made to order in some instances, definitely not second hand unless you actually mean slightly dated engine design? Not second hand at all.

And good features in cars like the Ford figo, Sandero, Gets, Hyundais, i10,i20 are like polished corners of a piece of turd. You are still driving a piece of turd.

Vivo is the best driving car of the lot if looking at all options in that range. A better driving car imo is better than a bad driving car with nice features. Ive driven them all and the Vivo is still the best to drive.

i10 grand, etios, sandero and even the figo.

The Etios depreciates almost just as slowly and offers more bang for the buck.

But looks crap...

And the indicator stalk on the wrong side (as are all Asian makes) vs the European makes...

 

[Rouxenator]

Vivo is a rattle cage.
