The Polo was exported, but local demand has seen to it that this stopped for a while as the factory needs to retool.  There was an article in a financial newspaper that VWSA has had more labour disputes than any other car plant and this affected their production.  The Polo has been the best selling car for 8 months in a row and you see dozens on the roads every day

the reason i think that older people buy jazz in the uk is because their decision is based not on looks but on careful consideration for reliability , practicality and the brand thing. in SA the common car amongst the younger generation is the vw velocity (dated design) and polo's which is "cool" to have. the younger gen don't have years of experience when it comes to owning and buying . cars , I would have bought my jazz a long time ago if i could afford it ( my first car was a ford escort mk 2 which cost me R 1000 back in 1992) , I was 18 then. I am 40 now. I read somewhere that one person said that the later jazz looks like some who just sucked on a lemon,  I might agree but looks don't matter to me ... the jazz came up tops in all aspects compared to the choice i had. Here in SA we see more females driving around in Jazz's so you won't see much guys with a moustache behind the wheel of a jazz and if you do , those are the clever ones.

Well I'm 64 and the Wife who's car it is is 63, she had a 2006 from new 1.4 CVT and she has just made me buy another a 2013, the price and add ons were painful but truthfully if its as reliable as the last one then maybe its worth it, maybe! The money I paid could I think have bought a nearly new and better car on terms of quality although the Jazz engines are superb

Both the Wife & I are 53.
Don`t regret for one second buying the Jazz.
So much more build quality than the Ford we P/X `d & far better equipped.

I am now 47 and practically i only drive my car with my kids in once a week. In summertime my kids have their own ideas and don't need such a big car. Portugal is a small country and also not big milage is need to trip wherever we go, so when i make my mind about a real reliable car a honda jazz was the first i though about. Yes, i am 47, maybe i have much more sense, if i was younger i could went to a fancy brand . Now it seems the more logical choice. :)
