From a quick observation the only way you can tell the difference between the 1.4 C/L and the 1.6 C/L is the badge at the back of the car and if you are a bit mechanically inclined the only other difference is the use of rear drum brakes on the 1.4 and rear discs on the 1.6. That aside, everything is exactly the same, colour coded bumpers and mirrors, front fog lights and 15" alloy wheels.
Inside the cabin there is no difference at all. You will get cloth seats, multifunction steering wheel, chrome trim on the dash and leather on the steering, gear knob and handbrake. It also features standard comfort features such as airconditioning, power steering, electric power windows and side mirrors and a RDS/MP3 radio. On the safety side you will get ABS and 4 airbags.
So cosmetics aside the difference comes in the power plants. The 1.4 has a 63kw/132nm power output and the 1.6 has a 77kw/155nm power output. Although not a very technical engine it gives you decent torque and surprisingly good fuel economy at a combined cycle consumption of 6.4l/100kms. The 1.6 also produces a distinct grunt when accelerating, not a very quite engine, yet it does give you a bit of a thrill.
At the Sibaya off ramp I tested the braking power of the all round discs and this is where I really appreciated the 1.6., it had a quicker and more confident braking time. Handling was great as well. This is what I like about the Polos, although you get excellent road handling you also get a comfortable ride.

Overall it's a good car, but the markets styling and extra value adds are starting to drown the demand for Polos. Other options would be the Ford Fiesta, Kia Rio and Hyundai i20, all of whom come with a standard service plan.
Your blog about Volkswagen polo is informative. It is really great work. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We like Volkswagen polo. I have bought Volkswagen polo. It has high quality driving, good mileage, interior and exterior looks good. We really enjoyed driving this car .
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. It is a great car and a real pleasure to drive.
ReplyDeleteThanks very informative.
ReplyDeleteI am in exactly the same situation...shopping for a 1.4 comfortline but am being offered the 1.6 at the same price as the 1.4. You covered the options very well....tx again
Do u know why some vw polos have the 1.4 or 1.6 badge at the back and some dont have one at all? Is there a difference?
ReplyDeleteIt's the owners preference at the time of purchase. There isn't a difference between ones with badges and without.
DeleteThe ones without 1.4 or 1.6 on it I think is the 1.2 model i can be wrong but i remeber researching it
DeleteIm wrong what Deena said is correct its purely end users preference.
DeleteThanks Jean-Henri for the confirmation :)
DeleteHI Guys, consumption wise - is the 1.6 much heavier on petrol?
ReplyDeleteHI Guys, consumption wise - is the 1.6 much heavier on petrol?
ReplyDeleteHi Johan, apologies for the late reply. I've driven both and I found that the 1.4 was extremely light compared to the 1.6. And the 1.4 has sufficient power to provide a pleasant driving experience. The 1.6 just has that extra bit of gumption but a bit heavier on fuel.

ReplyDeleteskincell pro review - What are the benefits of skin cell pro? I was looking for a cure-all product to use on my face that would make my problem go away. My face had always been prone to acne and had several scars from acne. However, my skin was dry, and the acne had largely disappeared. I didn't have any breakouts, yet I decided to give skincell pro a try. I read several reviews online and was intrigued by the positive feedback I got from others.
