When looking for a first car I was looking for reliability, comfort, fuel economy and low insurance and I stumbled across the VW Polo after looking at various corsa's, fiesta's and 206's. The first thing that I noticed about the car was it's very masculine and planted stance with it's beetle esque lights and it's bright paintwork and I thought to myself, this looks expensive for a first car. So I carried on looking around the car and I liked the way it was built and looked very high end almost like a BMW in terms of it's build quality. Driving it, being a 1.2, it was very eager and liked to be revved which I liked as I have always been a petrol head. The interior was ...  Read the complete review

Looking for a car when I was learning to drive the main criteria was that it be a nippy little car that would keep insuance low, look good and not burn through petrol. The VW Polo fulfilled all the specs and more, Vw have a reputation for well made cars that look good and keep their price. Even though it s only a 1.2 the car is quick to accelerate and handles brilliantly. A smooth ride its great fun to whizz round country lanes as much as on motorways and in 5 years I have not had a single problem, despite daily use and long frequent long journeys. The interior is spacious and comfortably seats 5 on long journeys or 4 with a lot of luggage, including skiis on ...  Read the complete review

We went to our local VW dealer just for a look and fell in love with this car . It looks very smart and has the look of a golf at a lower price and lower insurance brackert . The interior of the car is very roomy for a small car , there is plenty of head and leg room ( i hate those small cars where you feel like you are in a box ) The seats are hard but in a good way , therefore they support your back on longer journeys , i have heard people complain about the grey fabric design , but to be honest i like it as it is rather plain . i always think that ' jazzy ' patterns on a car interior date the car more quickly . The dash is ...  Read the complete review

When I was learning to drive, I went around some car dealerships with my father. To cut the long story short, we ended up purchasing a used 05 VW Polo 1.2 from the official VW dealership. I have now been driving for nearly two years and the car has served me well. It's been very reliable and has never broken down (touch wood). The car itself is quite quick to accelerate and looks very stylish and nice. Although, the car is now nearly five years old it's still in fantastic condition. The interior is very modern and very comfortable. There's plenty of legroom and headroom which makes it comfortable for everyone to enjoy a trip in the car. ...  Read the complete review

Got this for my first car and i couldn't have been happier with it! Generally VW's are slightly more expensive than equivalent cars from competitor brands, but the extra cost definitely goes a long way. I went looked around and test drove a lot of cars before committing to my Polo, and noticed some major differences. The main difference you first notice is just in the quality of materials and build quality within the car. I noticed (especially with the Vauxhall Astra and Skoda Fabia (which surprised me considering they are owned by VW)) that the inside of the car just felt a much nicer place to be, and that all the buttons and dials felt neither flimsy nor ...  Read the complete review
