What this mod does
The fifth-generation Volkswagen Polo GTI is Volkswagen’s hot hatch, hugely popular in Europe. Nimit turns it into a car you buy and drive in American Truck Simulator, small and nimble for getting between cities without a trailer. He publishes it for free on his verified ModLand account, with credits to Nimit, Mert İrşi, Metehan Bilal and Slav Jerry.
What the author says
The ModLand page is brief: the changelog only says that version 5.2 of the mod is updated to game version 1.57, with no details on equipment or options. The file is 52.3 MB and has 204 downloads on ModLand. Nimit asks that the link not be changed and the mod not be re-uploaded.
How to get it
Like the rest of Nimit’s cars, you buy it in the mod dealer access at any truck dealer (that’s what the author says for his other cars). Look for the Volkswagen brand.
Version and known issues
Nimit confirms 1.57 in the title and changelog. There’s no confirmed version for 1.61, so it may throw errors there; Holyfix will let you know if it does. The ModLand page lists it for 1.58.x. A user comments that the Polo isn’t sold in the United States and feels out of place in ATS. He also publishes the ETS2 version on the same account.
