A good, simple car which has lasted well with regular servicing. I do though rather regret downshifting to the Polo from my previous Golfs.

Economical car with excellent performance. Very comfortable and although a relatively small car it drives well on a long run. Plan to replace with the same model next year.

It takes me from A to B. It's totally reliable and doesn't cost a lot to run. I'm very happy with my low maintenance Polo.

All as expected.

A good all round small car. The only fault I find is with the gearbox, it's easy to select the wrong gear.

I find this car disappointing and have needed quite a few big repairs for suspension problems. It is also not as economic as I thought.

we bought a new polo 1.2 tdi se in 2011. It has been superb to date.Our dealer Barnards VW of Stowmarket are first rate in every aspect, great service, and very friendly staff. The Polo is a great car, strong, reliable, and if you run it on Shell V power diesel it pulls very well.It is low geared so don't put it in top gear under 60. It does 65 ish to the gallon and only £20 road tax. VWs are great cars, there is very little on the market to touch them in every aspect. They are a real drivers car, where man and machine work as one.Great road holders, and very stable on flooded roads

I wasn't bothered about getting this car but I enjoy driving it. it is small and still goes well. it turns on a sixpence and uses far less fuel than my other small cars did. The seat is uncomfortable for me and I have to organise a wedge cushion. I wish the back seat was a split collapsible when I need it down sometimes.
