hi what does everyone think of those new vw fox,s ? a friend has just got hers, looks ok but i reckon vw have been penny pinching and the build quality will be poor as made in brazil. any opinions?
yes there made to a budget, but what other new car can you buy for 6.5K!! I don't like them handling is awful, driving position is good, a nice, basically a polo Plus Brazilian build quality is spot on, they've inversed heavily in the plants there, jetta built there as well not sure what else, but not much coming from Germany now!! wonder where they got the name from, possibly from it's chassis's roots!
Prefered the Loop, not many current VW's I'd buy, dont like the current Jetta, Passat and Polo though the current Golf GTI is ok Fox looks like a tiny Touran, quite like the Toureg V10 TDI.
Think the name comes from budget mk2 and mk3 polos, the bottom of the range model was known as a polo fox and didn't even have a glovebox lid!!!! I had one!
i had a ltd edition polo was sprayed in this bluey torquise colour with matching green interior was an import of some sort i think loved it dearly . i had a look at my friends fox its quite nice in red i still prefer the mk2 golf though . or maybe the polo gti . havent been out in the fox yet its certainly better than the 21 year vauxhall nova she drove before.
darryn has hit the nail on the head, all based on the 2002 polo chassis & engines then made even cheaper!! the yellow it comes in is starting to grow on me
