Social media can be quite a leveller. Yes, even if you are the purveyor of the best-selling passenger car in the country. When Volkswagen was punting its Polo Vivo Mswenko on platforms not long ago, some of the comments left me stifling a chuckle

The special-edition Polo Vivo Mswenko.Social media can be quite a leveller. Yes, even if you are the purveyor of the best-selling passenger car in the country.

Many opinions, expressed in the zero chill kind of way we South Africans are often known for, related to the lack of a sunroof and daytime-running LEDs among other features a discerning young set might prioritise.Door decals, 16-inch charcoal alloy wheels and a chrome exhaust tip visually differentiate the Vivo Mswenko.You cannot help but agree. Even me, as someone who is quarter-to-30 years old, knows there are certain prerequisites when it comes to automotive swank.

Aside from the lettering on the lower front door sills, 16-inch wheels in charcoal paint, a chrome exhaust tip and a choice of mirror covers in a different shade to the body, there is not much to it. They even painted the roof black, ostensibly to create the illusion that it has a panoramic setup. Lively upholstery work features inside: blue, white and grey in scheme. This is probably the coolest aspect about the Vivo.

Our week with the Vivo saw us driving far and wide, including a trip to the skirts of the Free State. It took everything comfortably in stride. The leather-wrapped wheel felt good in the palm.
