Good Points
Nice easy little car to drive with good visability.
Bad Points
Fair bit of body roll on corners and no power steering on base models.
General Comments
The VW Polo is a great little work horse, I had my first one for 10 years until it got too expensive to keep in tip top condition. The second one had for 7 years. Warning both had corrosion problems on top of fuel tank. They are also prone to the top head gasket going. Check both these out if you are considering buying one. I loved mine for around town driving and took it far and wide on holiday. Excellent boot space and easy to put the back seats down and fill up the back with anything from a cloakroom suite to a fridge! It was the worst day of my life when VW unveiled its replacement!
