    rubbish. I took my Polo back to Volkswagen last week complaing of a rough engine and poor mpg. the rough engine is normal, it turns out, as it's 3 cylinder, but I've just worked-out the mpg: 36 to the gallon! I am the slowest driver I know, as I am so tight with money. how can a small, modern car be so bad? also, remember, it has no power at all and will struggle up fast hills.

    I have owned my Volkswagen Polo 1.2 car now for about 1 year and completed about 12,000 miles during this time, I have enjoyed my time with the Polo. This small Volkswagen feels like a much more expensive car than it is (especially the ride, which is well damped).
    The handiling of the Polo can at times be a little 'rolly polly', but this car was never designed to be a Formula One car so I guess that's a little harsh, and for the most part is good, with the car understeering only when pushed. Th ...

    VW Polos are ideal cars for young women, and women of all ages. They are also great cars for men as they look sporty! Especially in the diamond black paint. Which is the colour of mine. They are really easy to drive and I can ' t imagine having any other car now, unless it was another VW you feel safe in them. Are spacious enough to fit a baby car seat in the back and a pushchair in the boot. As I found out when taking my boyfriends fianc and baby shopping. The standard CD player is really go ...

    Im 18 and therefore cant speak of much experience, however having driven many of my friends 1.2 cars for example, the Corsa, Fiesta and the Clio, I actually truthfully think the polo is my favorite and very happy with my choice of first car. It is a 54 plate Polo and I would argue the good points of the car are its quiet, very comfortable on the road with good suspension, and generally seems well made. For example, the audio speakers, steering wheels, seats and general car layout exceeds other 1 ...

    The Volkswagen Polo 1.2 E is a nice car if you plan to never drive in it and only ever sit in it. As soon as you drive it, all the problems appear. In my opinion this is a useless little car!
    In 12 months, the following have been replaced:
    2x coil packs
    1x catalytic converter
    1x exhaust mount
    1x speedometer unit
    1x o2 sensor
    1x brake light switch
    1x ignition switch
    1x interior blower motor
    1x ECU on board computer
    2x suspension wishbone bushes
    1x screenwash hose

    I think that was i ...

    Would not recommend the Volkswagen Polo 1.2 E unless you spend your driving time in traffic, then it's perfect. On country roads, hills and motorways not great at all.

    Great nippy car and a lovely smooth engine. Ergonomic controls and a nice spacious car. Comfortable for both driver and passengers front and back. The dashboard display ant night is modern and stylish with blue and red lighting the display panels. Good MPG and comfortable on long journeys.

    The Volkswagen Polo 1.2 E is an excellent car. To say it is bottom of the range, it is an all round better car than some of the rivals (especially the Vauxhall Corsa). The build quality and reliability is second to none, as you would expect from Volkswagen.

    From new I have done 27,842 miles in this car (mostly motorway driving) and I have found it to be very comfortable, even on long journeys. I have had no problems with the car at all. I have only had to take the car into a garage for its se ...

    Volkswagen Polo, a nice car, no problems yet whatsoever ... fingers crossed. 10 000 miles covered so far.
    Good MPG can be obtained, around 50mpg, but to get it takes careful driving; high gears and cruising at around 70. Once you speed up to 80 or 90 it likes to eat petrol!
