Good Points
Smooth ride, comfortably driving position, lots of punch low down in first and second gears. Excellent build quality, feels like a big car, typical of german engineering
Bad Points
Suspension needs tightening, handling much better with lowerprofile tyres 65 series or lower
General Comments
The Volkswagen Polo 1.4 S City Car is typical of a german engineered car, with excellent build quality and superb ride for such a small car. Looks slightly agressive with the square front lights but is subtle enough not to draw too much attention. (Unlike those awfully tarted up, clapped out Corsa's you see with their huge exhausts which although sound nice have no 'go' at all) A fantastic first or second buy for young drivers, enjoy as you sit quietly at traffic lights along side one of these Corsa's or saxo's, Wait for the light to go green, then blow them into the wind!

The 1.4 polo has to be one of the most underpowered, slowest 1400 small car around, despite being otherwise a good small car, the lack of power is sufficiant to put me off purchasing another. You could buy a 1600 or 2000, but do you want the added fuel and insurance costs? better of buying a different make of a similar size with a bit more go!
