From Midrand to Mamelodi, Alex to Alberton, and Soweto to Spruitview, Gauteng gents between 28 and 35 are buying Polos. They’ve hustled, side hustled, studied, and secured jobs to get these iconic whips which are rightfully their pride and joy. They’ve grafted hard for these status symbols and the associated lifestyle of a Polo player.

 

Gents, we want you to live your best life, so we’ve put together the ultimate Jozi Polo Driver Starter Kit. But living like a rap mogul on a budget means saving where you can, so why not use Hippo? Get 11 comparative car insurance quotes in 2 minutes and save bucks.

 

Driving Position

First, the driver’s seat must be reclined so far back you’re basically a rear passenger. With a lot of Polo players hitting a vape, all you see is a floating baseball cap on fire behind the wheel.

 

A Polo Princess

Find yourself a princess synonymous with the Polo passenger seat. IG selfies are a must, with her cropping out half your face because "Nobody must see my Polo bae, but they should know I have a Polo bae." You’ll need extra bucks for this girlfriend allowance.

 

Chow

After dinner, you’ll need to stop at a Drive-Thru. Whether it’s Micky D’s, KFC, Nando’s, BK, or Chicken Licken, you’ll be paying. At least you can pump some Amapiano tunes from your Polo while waiting in line with 50 other cars on a Friday night.

 

TOP TIP: When out with the guys, a Quick Shop stop for a pepper steak pie, eaten while too hot over the bonnet of your Polo with doors open and beats pumping, will do.

 

An Apartment (Preferably in Midrand)

Nestled between Joburg and Pretoria, a Midrand apartment is part of the “Polofields” life. Whether renting or buying, you need a crib to chillax, entertain, and occasionally sleep in when not out living the Polo life every day and night.

 

Storm Warning

Midrand’s “hail belt” reputation means you need car insurance for your Polo parked under flimsy carport shade cloth. Use Hippo for 11 comparative quotes to save bucks.

 

Big Screen TV

The smaller your lounge the bigger your smart TV should be. Perfect for watching sport or marathon PlayStation sessions with the boys. But when your Polo bae visits, it’s all about The Real Housewives in glorious 4K.

 

VW Campfest

Once you’ve ticked all the boxes for living your best Polo lifestyle, the Final Boss is attending VW Campfest. A Jozi pilgrimage where you and your Polo must represent. If you’ve found a Polo princess willing to sleep in a tent, you’ve found the only one in Mzansi. Otherwise, go with the broers and sleep in your reclined Polo driver’s seat at Bela-Bela.

 

As you can see, the ultimate Polo Jozi life isn’t easy to maintain. Ease the pressure on your pocket by saving money with Hippo. Be the ultimate Polo bae your passenger princess knows you to be and have more money to spend on this life you’ve worked so hard for!
