chas.'s review of Volkswagen Polo 1.4 S

“The VW Polo 1.4s is probably good german engineering...”

★★★★☆

written by chas. on 14/02/2002

Good Points
GOOD FINISH, NICELY PUT TOGETHER

Bad Points
It must be the slowest car I have ever owned. Its 0 to 60 is somewhere about an hour and a half and puts its hands over its eyes whenit comes to a hill. kick-down is virtually non-existant. Probaly has a good trade-in value and I for one cannot get to a finacial situation quick enought to be able to part exhange it back to a corsa auto or a clio auto which I have owned before this slug.

General Comments
The VW Polo 1.4s is probably good german engineering but I am not too bothered about that. All modern cars are good its just that some are better than others. I only keep my cars for three years and all the cars I have had have been good for that period of time. This one I thought would have good performance but I have been sorely disappointed.

If you want more power why not buy the 1.4 16V or the 1.6?

I totally agree, the polo has to be one of the slowest cars out there, compared with simular sized 1400s. The polo is painfully underpowered compared to All other 1400s I have driven. Why be forced to by a 1600 when you want the economy of a 1400? I doubt the 1600 would be any quicker than most 1400s of other makes!

A 1.4 Polo is simply not a sports car, my manual keeps up with traffic and will cruise at 80mph.
<br>With an auto box you would have been better off buying the 1.6 ltr.
