The model
Read full Volkswagen Polo review
As a hot hatch, the VW Polo GTI provides fewer thrills than more focused and capable rivals, but it’ll also cost you a fair amount less than those rivals. Plus, it remains a fine all-rounder, offering fun driving characteristics, a pleasant interior and a comfortable ride for the class.
The trim
Entry-level Life trim is actually our pick of the bunch. That’s because it keeps costs down but still gives you a good amount of kit, which includes 15in alloy wheels, manual air conditioning, rain sensing wipers, an 8.0in touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone mirroring and an auto-dimming rear view mirror. For extra comfort, we’d advise adding the reasonably priced adjustable lumbar support.
