    Good Points: Quality of drive Lots of space inside Kick of the turbo. Only £35 to tax for a year. Feul is every lasting.

    Bad Points: Perhaps the expense.

    General comments: I'd advise anyone to try out the new polo match that I ' ve recently purchased. I got the 3dr VW Polo match hatchback 1.4 tdi diesels in metallic black on a 58 plate. It looks really good inside and out (even down to the blue dials and leather steering wheel and gear stick) it even has a little sport look too so my boyfriend loves it as well! The inside is very spacious and comfortable, (the feeling of space is similar to what you ' d feel in a bmw x5) with the best looking black and grey interior to what I ' ve seen Volkswagen do in my opinion. The only down side is how much it costs (mine came to around £11,500) but when you take into account the low tax, low insurance, low fuel consumption and how it makes you feel to drive it all levels itself out. Its so sturdy and safe feeling (especially in comparison to my Fiat Punto yr2000 that I had before). It has such a smooth drive and has the boost of the turbo, giving it that sporty edge. What I ' d advise anyone to do is to go and test drive one and you'll know instantly if it ' s for you or not. A year ago I had a very similar polo as a hire car and have wanted one every since! It ' s a much understated classic little car and I love mine.

    If pride is worth more than happiness, then the VW Polo is for you. It makes me feel more content in comparison to what else I could have bought for the money. Driving it is surprisingly fun. I used to own a 52reg Mini Cooper S, which was great in performance. This 75bhp diesel Polo is not far behind, and the handling is pretty fun. In comparison to say a Nissan Micra, it feels substantial. Better quality platics all round and unfussy layout actually place it in a class above and set new standar ...

    Noisy, painfully underpowered and drab compared to other cars in its field. Mine is a company car, and i do high mileage, after one year the engine and clutch needed replacing on warranty luckily. One good point though, the engine seems to run solely off air!

    Good little hatch! Better drive and ride than the fiesta but looks a little bit too cute, for my liking. Haven't had any faults as yet, but dreading the day because the VW dealerships are not pleasant people to deal with once you have bought the car from them.

    I really like this Volkswagen Polo 1.4TDI but the window problem causes me great concern.

    As fuel stops were so infrequent, you'll never earn fuel points. The performance from such a little oil burner is excellent. The car is ideal for both long or short journeys, but I'd recommend it as being best suited for commuting, as the 3-cylinder engine is grindingly noisy and shaky for longer trips. Ideally, you want a 4-cylinder car if you can afford the little extra. The little Volkswagen Polo 1.4TDi is great in a straight line, but don't go round corners too fast as it will topple.

    My Volkswagen Polo 1.4TDI is a very versatile and practical car and does as well as a lot of much larger and more expensive cars. It's a diesel, so a bit of a rumble at low speeds, but it's comfortable, nippy, can carry loads with the seats down, has excellent braking and safety features.

    We have bought a Volkswagen Polo a very sick car indeed and although relatively new ('99 with 60,000km) it has been plagued with problems and barely a week goes by without something that needs attention, the interior is also impractically small for our requirements so we will be saying auf Wiedersehen to our Polo and buying something reliable like a Toyota, the Japanese have got ergonomics and car design down pat!!!

    I have had the Volkswagen Polo 1.4TDI four years and the only fault has been one stop lamp bulb blown. It drives very well indeed and goes as fast as I want to go with a good relativily quiet ride. I am on the lookout to replace it with another in the near future.

    My Volkswagen Polo 1.4TDI has been an absolute let-down. To mention a few - new dash, paintwork problems, engine problems, electric windows activating on their own, central locking problems, excessive noice, rattles and squeaks. Rude unhelpful dealers and all on a ten month old car with just 7000 miles on the clock. Do yourself a favour - don't buy one.
