Volkswagen Polo Citi Vivo Review - VW Reimagines an SA Cult Classic
- 6 years ago
Volkswagen has drawn inspiration from the iconic CitiGolf to produce a limited edition version of its top-selling Polo Vivo. Unsurprisingly, its only available in red, yellow and blue!\r
\r
Launched in 1984, the CitiGolf was a cheeky, no-frills continuation of the first generation Volkswagen Golf, which had famously replaced the original Beetle in the Seventies. Production continued until new, during which time 377 000 CitiGolfs were produced; the little car, despite its lack of ABS and airbags, achieved cult status.\r
\r
Based on the 4th-generation Polo, the Polo Vivo became Volkswagens entry-level offering and much like the CitiGolf it replaced, the Vivo has topped the sales charts locally since new. Now, as the automotive market gears up for the introduction of the 6th-generation Polo (and quite possibly, the next generation Vivo), Volkswagen has released a Citi version, which is still fun-loving, but anything but basic.
