The Volkswagen Polo is one of the most popular small hatchbacks around, and its posh badge tempts many buuyers away from rivals like the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. However, does it deserve the praise reviewers lavishly pour upon it? Does a bias towards practicality and comfort take the edge off the fun? Find out in my in-depth video review

I recently drove both a 2016 Polo and a 2016 Fiesta when I was looking to buy my first self bought car. The Polo has a nicer cabin, but I think the Fiesta is better looking and it is much more enjoyable to drive. Comfortable yet very precise in corners. Also the Fiesta was a little cheaper (comparing top level trims) at least here in Finland so I went with that. Btw, thanks Matt for your reviews, it was because of you that I actually found out about the Fiesta. 🙏

Meanwhile in India, in a board room meeting VW: best money minting method - infinite facelifts of the same car for a decade.

@Enfielder1985 4 года назад

Agreed. We should have the new model on our roads already. But then cost is a concern in our rather conservative auto market. For those who have safety as the main aspect followed by comfort, timeless design and then features, this is built like a tank and not everyone wants a tin can with plethora of features, most of which we wouldn't even use in India. You certainly know those cars... 😉 It's aged well and there are takers for this car, especially TSI GT. Pretty sure that's all VW wants instead of 5000+ number per month of every model they make. Quality over quantity stuff.

@Enfielder1985 4 года назад

Also if you observe the seatbelt's buckle, it has Audi logo on it... Certainly speaks a word on the quality of stuff in it.

If you are considering a Polo 1.0 Bluemotion 75HP or the 1.2TSi Bluemotion, save yourself the hassle and buy the 1.2. I originally bought the 75HP and although a great car it lacked the get up and go. I traded the 1.0 in for a 1.2TSi and it is the perfect balance of power for the car. Surprisingly the fuel consumption on the 1.2 is less as well compared to the 1.0 as you have to work the engine harder on the 1.0 - which uses more fuel. Moral of the story buy the 4 cylinder 1.2TSi from the start. Great car

@HnK_Alex 5 лет назад

I also have the 1.2 TSI with the CUP version so it has wider tyres @215mm. The engine is really good, has enough torque and power but there is quite some turbo lag which can be annoying. I also get about 45mpg on average.

Quality is far better then the fiesta, the fiesta has no nice feeling materials and it's a dust and dirt magnet. We had both ad the polo was worth more after two years both new and it was a far better car overall and in conclusion after two years the fiesta was the one we sold

@dublinairportplanes 7 лет назад

while the quality is better in the polo, the polo does not stand a chance in terms of how the fresta drives, very little body roll in cornors, direct steering, great brakes, its a mini 3 series to be honest if not better to drive, it puts it to shame, the polo is a great car but come on dude its in a different class completely

@paultasker7788 7 лет назад

My first car also a polo in pistachio green was my mums old car. 95M 1.3cl. 55bhp. Even Austin got more power out of a similar sized allegro engine! My friends 1.0 3 cylinder corsa was as quick. Overtaking and joining slip roads were scary. Despite that it was quite pleasant to drive, It never broke down and did 40mpg. Less than the 1.4tsi 140bhp Fr leon family estate I have today. I guess it had to work hard. Award winning in it's day the crazy colour meant I could find it everywhere in under 10 seconds.

Just brought a ex-demo October 2016 blueGT 1.4TSI 150ps ACT it's fantastic brilliant price - pick of the range Matt if brought as stock or ex-demo (to cut price) It's fun/super economy will tied down (comes with sport's suspension) none of the body roll you described very direct/response car. Do hope they keep a blueGT TSI in the new Polo's. They are in fact quite hard to find Polo blueGT's too.

@incognito3223 7 лет назад

@thierryvt 7 лет назад

my first car was a 98 polo with a 1.4 petrol that put out a massive 55hp while also maintaining a whopping 35mpg. The stereo needed about 5 minutes to "warm up" before it started playing and the starter motor was shot. The first night I got it it froze -10°C so the first ever time I wanted to drive it to school the locks had frozen... So I had to go get some hot water and thaw the damn thing. Not to mention the seals were busted so Ice would form on the inside. Other than that nothing ever broke on it and even with the broken starter motor it always started (except for when the battery died). I did like the little car though, don't regret buying it one bit.

I have this car in Mayan Blue and I LOVE IT it’s my absolute baby. But yes I HATE how when you turn the volume nob the on/off sign turns with it. It HAS to be pointing straight up no matter what 😂 and I never knew the glovebox was cooled by the aircon!!!!

@forsnowboard 6 лет назад

It’s been one year with mine and I love it. I got the 1.2l tsi 90hp it’s great and it responds very well but you kinda feel it needs a little bit more power. Maybe the 110hp? Maybe not but I Recommend it as a first car 100%.

Had one as a rental, and even the cheap and cheerful version felt quite solid and well-thought-through. I would get a Ibiza for the flair, or a 208 for the style though, but if you want a unit of standard car that doesn't get many things wrong, and are a bit beige, get the Polo. Could be a lot worse.

@aurghh 4 года назад

@davidhayes4814 7 лет назад

When my Jazz was thumped up the rear and written off, I seriously thought about getting a Polo. I was very disappointed with how cramped it felt, after the Jazz which is massive inside for a super mini. I have a Golf on order, since only that can match the Jazz's roominess. It was my 3rd Jazz, so I wanted a change.

@faisalrahman7 7 лет назад

My first car was a 1996 (N reg) 1.6 Polo and I loved it :) had it for 3 years trouble free and it hit £130K mile on the clock and it all went wrong but I had 40k trouble free miles over almost four years so £750 well spent.

@roadreg1820 7 лет назад

My Dad has the 1.2 Blue Motion with DSG. Great little car. Lovely steering wheel. The gear box (auto) is awesome. It reminds me of a 'baby golf R' going through the gears, haha. I find the best way to make it go fast is by driving it like a turbo diesel, as it seems to have peal power really low down. It feels like it dies at around 4.5k. Matt, sorry for the random question but is that a new phone you got there, old chap?

Had the 2017 1.0 Match for about 6 months now and I agree, it’s a very sensible and easy to drive car. I’d definitely agree through.. if you can, go for the 1.2 because the 1.0 is mind numbingly slow!

@damiandynski1804 Год назад

1.2 is also pretty lifeless, 88hp is just enough to comfortably commute around city however entering any road above 40mph will make you want to walk as it's probably faster lol.

I've rented these. The 1.4 version with no turbo. That ain't quick so 1.2tsi is a good replacement. Had this engine on my last leon in the more powerful 110bhp guise. It's decent. The ride of the polo is good. The steering too light with virtually no feel and too much body roll. It's nicely refined but getting on a bit now. Like the fiesta it's beginning to look a bit dated. This is virtually a mark 5. If it gets latest platform it could be a fun drive.
