rofl...the 'safety' being discussed here has nothing to do with crash tests
Shew. Thank the pope. So you mean the time I spent today driving that turd was reasonably safe? I mean, the steering wheel had some sort of airbag srs thingy stamped on it. It was a rental, so I did drive it rather fast and recklessly...

Vokkies that first one is ugly. Do the streepies make is less or more likely to be invaded by affirmative shoppers?

Special as in "I'm a plonker and can't do some of my own thinking before I just buy the same over-priced turd all the other plonkers are driving"?
Thank the pope I'm not that special.

The Vivo was built to look like a 9N Polo, that much it true. But it's actually a Citi Golf. Just like they make AC Cobra replicas the Vivo is a Citi based 9N replica.
In a sense the Vivo ....
The name Vivo actually is derived from the Afrikaans phrase "Wie wou" - as in "wie wou 'n ou Citi golf ry"

Oh, crap, that is funny.
Seriously considering it. Know of any decent places?
I'm a noob to these things but how would this affect my current factory fitted alarm. I'm sure anything will be better than that.

But, it would still be a vivo...
I'd take a CTi just for the fact that it is a classic.
Sounds like what VW told me. He did say that he wouldnt be able to change that tho.

Not sure how we can take this any further. I mean, the Vivo is a Citi - that has been proven. The Astra H has better doorlocks when they break. Not sure what else remains to be said?
Did they ever offer a glass tailgate as option on the Vivo?

- VWSA will not add a glass tailgate option for the Vivo as it's an EOL* product.
- The glass bumper option is available for the MY2017 Up! destined for Euro markets; no word if/when it will be available in SA.
- In the mean time VWSA has brought us the Colour Up! model; early demographics indicate "Coloured" folks are the biggest buyers of this particular Up! model.
