Hijacking stats
Sup all.
I'm looking to get my little bro a 1999 POLO CLASSIC 1.6 (sedan). What I want to know is whether these cars are also high on the hijacking/theft list. I can't seem to find anything on the net. Are they just like Golfs?
I know all types of cars get jacked etc etc so don't give me that speech. I need to know about this car in particular. Even if its just you own personal opinions.

AFAIK the polo is not as high a risk as its stablemates. The city golf, late model Jetta IV+V, Golf IV+V and Passat is tho
Will see if I can find the stats and post them

I am planing on buying new Polo 1.6 Comfortline next month and also looked in to the jacking of the car, but as I can see there isn't a car that you would be safe in, but the planned hi-jacking at your home is "usually" on your high end cars.
Getting jacked in a polo boils down to the wrong place at the wrong time

Im driving a Kia Cerato and its not even on that list.
Look at the Hyundai or Kia ranges, the lesser known brands of cars are of near on the same quality and much much less of a theft/hijacking risk these days...
Also, pricing is awesome on these cars and I am dead happy with all the stuff I got...
