New citi's, Same specs , different slightly Rims for the sport, citi Rox comes in silver and has the same interior as the 1.8i without the leather trim .

Only thing new here is that it meets EU2 Emmission standards and new decals....

About 5K cheaper though all round.....

Think my 2007 citi 1.8i in silver is still beta....

Anywho maybe someone else is more excited then me about this

Linky

Same old, same old.

Body from 1983 (or ealier) and engines lifted off the original polo range. They are just making money off very old technology.

Then there is also the problem where some insurers are hesitant/unwilling to ensure these things.

When will VW kill the damn thing! It's way past its sell by date!
I mean FFS, toyota killed off the Conquest/Tazz range.....

In the price range of that car..... Kia picanto, Chevvy spark, tata indicrap, corsa lite (also as fragile as a golf MKI), fact is the cars mentioned are practically all chic cars... Pls note i've included new cars only...

As someone not fortunate enough to afford a more expensive car i can vouch for the students out there. I'm tall so theres no fucking way you gonna find me in a picanto, indicrap or spark. at the end of the day its about image to some screwed up extent, sad but true...

I'd like if VW came out with something more attractive for a budget car than the other cars but with better safety features....

VW has recouped the costs of creating the Golf MK1 thousands of times over already. They are now simply milking a cash cow (which is probably why they aren't dropping the Citi and related MK1 cars) but they should and then develop a modern car with modern safety features and a modern look in the same price range!

well guys - we gonna have this conversation every year till 2012 - which is when VW has earmarked as the time that it will stop producing the citigolf

you want to blame someone - blame the guys who buy the car instead of VW - since its still in the top 5 selling cars in the country each month

so yeah sometimes a modern look isnt what people are after - look at the success of many retro looking cars - lots of people like older things - plus to me the citi is far safer in a crash at moderate speed than a kia picanto or daihatsu charade - and leave alone the chevy spark and tata indica - and im not basing this on tests etc - im basing this on actual crashes and who survived and how they survived - ive had more than my fair share of crashes in my citi - and im still around - besides many of my friends still drive citi's - imagine R600 to service at 250 000km's vs R1560 to service a daihatsu charade at 30 000 km's - sometimes you have to look at practicalities - and this isnt hte richest country in the world by any means - so everyone cannot afford a golf 5 gti (which is what im sure most citi drivers would aspire to) or even a astra OPC - or even a merc C180 or whatever car you would like to be driving

hey id love a lamborghini whilst we are at it - but at around 3 bar for the cheapest one - i will stick to the citi if i have to



you do realize that between R10k and R15k more than the most expensive citi will get you the bottom of the range polo - but who would want a 1.4 instead of a 1.6 with a lot more performance even at the same price

besides VW already has the LUPO ready - but tooling for this will mean spending a helluva lot and how much sense does that make in a time when new car sales are dropping and interest rates are rising - it just doesnt make financial sense - VW is clever - they will swop over when the time is right ie in a economic cycle where new car sales are on the rise and interest rates are dropping enough to allow people to be interested in buying a new car again
