USED Volkswagen Polo Hatchback (02 - 05)

My car

I have owned this car now for over 3 years and it has been nothing but Fantastic. Its not bad to look at, the mpg is what it says on the box and more(when driving reservingly). Easy to drive and park with aid of the handy electric mirrors, front speakers have the quality of after market big brands and the ride is very comfortable on long motorway drives.

When driving over 80mph the mpg does fall but at 70mph is perfect, obviously British roads do not permit 80mph so this really shouldn't be a problem. She's not a sports hatch but still very nippy. I would definitely advice this car to any one buying, and especially as a first car. Polo 1.2 E(65)

My car

Owning a 1.4 (80ps) 2006 Polo and driving it for the last 3 years, I can safely say it doesn't come close to its brand's reputation. Some of the plastics, like the B-Pillar or dashboard, rattles and comes apart. The Local dealer had to glue them back on! The engine broke down into the third year, after the two year warranty ended and one of the engine heads had to be replaced at an exorbitant cost. Except these serious ailments the car was fine. To sum - stay away from this car.

My car

Down sized from an Audi...but up sized in running costs. Lovely little car, nice looks, reasonable drive quality. But very, very poor oil consumption. @8oo miles per litre - driven normally. Fuel economy isn't much better for such a small car - @40 mpg. Interior is plain but functional. Build quality is typically VW and German! Laclustre 1.4 could do with a bit more torque. Nippy little town car though.
