Pete N's review of Volkswagen Polo 1.4 SE (80ps)

“I recently had a Black MK5 VW Polo 1.4 SE 2008 (08),...”

I recently had a Black MK5 VW Polo 1.4 SE 2008 (08), before this I had the 1.2 Polo MK4 model, I cant believe the difference in the drive between these two cars. The new Polo to me has improved that much its staggering, VW really now I feel are miles in front of Ford Fiestas, Vauxhall Corsas, Renault Clios... The drive on this can be compared to an Audi A3 and a BMW 1 Series in my opinion. However, when you consider the price its quite hard to believe how good this car is for value for money.
I first bought a Polo out of the above cars simply because VW is German and they are well known for build quality (like tanks)...Which is the main reason I am writing this review...
I was recently involved in quite a severe car crash where a motorbike hit me at a very high speed, although I don't want to go into detail everyone on the scene said they were suprised at how well the car took the blow and I heard people saying if it wasn't a VW the accident could of been a different story. Therefore I wanted to say a big thankyou to VW, but also to recommend to everyone else reading this review that if you are looking for a Safety built car in my price range that is well built, a good drive... go for the VW polo, well worth the money.

It's just a shame it doesn't have the good looks of the previous model. And wouldn't you expect a better drive from a car with an 80PS engine, compared to the 1.2l Polo?
