Volkswagen Polo
The Volkswagen Polo can be relatively inexpensive to buy and run. Insurance will be slightly high. Service charges and fuel will be high only when driven enthusiastically.
The Polo cabin is spacious and will provide sufficient space to all of the occupants. Even rear passengers will have sufficient head and legroom. The boot is decently sized and is big enough for a few large items, and will be able to accommodate the needs of a family.
The Volkswagen Polo gauges are clear and concise. They are logically placed within the drivers line of sight, making searching for them unnecessary. The fascia is uncluttered and the controls are both functional and practical as they are clearly labeled and illuminated.
The Polo passengers will be comfortable thanks to the combination of comfortable, supportive seats and plenty of head and legroom. The car’s suspension is crisp and responsive. It is able to take corners very well with little body roll, adding to Polo’s comfort.
Accessing the cabin is easy for all passengers. With wide door apertures and a high roofline, sliding into the seats is an effortless feat. Rear passengers are likely to notice a bit less room in the footwell however. The boot is accesed through a large hatch that allows for unrestricted access to the low load lip.
Parking the Polo is easy and though you won’t need them, parking sensors are an option for all models. Visibility is good all around and parking won’t be difficult, even in crowded car lots.

Volkswagen Polo
The Volkswagen Polo provides a firmer ride than regular models, but for the most part delivers a smooth and comfortable ride. This sharpens the handling, and the car resists roll. The 1.8-litre engine provides plenty of power but is not exceptionally exciting.
The five-door version could easily be used as a family car. A family of four could easily have been accommodated, but would be too small for a larger family. Two Isofix mountings are fitted as standard.
This version is not a suitable first car. The GTI version has too much power on offer, and costs more than what most first time buyers can afford.
The Polo enjoys an excellent reputation, sets a high standard of quality. The Polo's image trickles over somewhat from the Golf GTI, and is likely to be more appealing than other Polo models.
