We all know what to expect from a new Polo. We expect bland small hatchback greatness.
This one has a little something extra, though. Watch to find out what it is.
Full road test of the new Polo here: www.honestjohn...

You compare it with the Fiesta? But did you drive the new Fiesta automatic ? It is so sloooooow compared to the Polo DSG and sitting in the back is a real challenge in the Fiesta compared to the bigger Polo. So Polo is a clear winner, although Fiesta has traffic sign recognition :-)

For the new Fiesta Ford gave up their dubble clutch gearbox and went back to a traditional torque converter box. I guess, this is because of many technical issues with the dubble clutch system and poor market acceptance outside Europe, where Ford have most of their sales. Still its a bit of a step backwards, so if you want an automatic, the Fiesta is not the obvious choise in Europe. However the vast majority of B-segment buyers in Europe go a manual. And here Ford is actually ahead, since the 100 hp Fiesta comes with a 6-speed, whereas the 95 hp Polo only get a 5-speed.

If it had a six speed Id have gone for one as Ive got an old 9N. Honestly bar some parts around the footwells and the door cards, the Fiesta interior matches up quite well and the seats hug you so well. But for me the the Fiesta is a car you feel so invested and involved with to drive, 1L ecoboosts are fantastic.

I bought the New Micra as the Polo was too expensive and I'm happy to say how impressed i am with it. Not only is it a stunning looking car in Energy Orange, it has a great level of equipment and handles like a go cart. It's peppy 0.9 turbo engine suits the car but it's power delivery does take a bit of getting used to. This new Micra is a strong contender for best supermini, it really is a great little car.

"The residual values have been set around 5% higher than blah blah blah". Last time I checked in free market economies residual values are a function of supply and demand, so you can't simply set them. They do like to think that they run the place don't they. All the fucking time.
@davetravels9273

True, but it doesn't really matter if you lease, since your payments will be based on their projected residuals.
@z00h
@z00h 7 жыл бұрын
Dave, of course but once the lease is back on the market as used car and the market values it lower than the artificial residual value someone has to absorb the difference. In socialism it's the state that does it. In what we have here it is also the state that does it because once the cheap finance house of cards backed by these artificial residual values/creative accounting comes tumbling down there will be a need for another bailout. Bailouts is what created this cancer.

Was really looking forward to buying this new wee beastie. But it's backside looks terrible. It's like they used up all the design budget on the front three quarters. The rear lights look like lego bricks (unlike the smart looking ones on the Golf). And no three door version :( It seems, to me at least, that buying a new car has become like voting in an election - go for the one you dislike the least. Top review though.

I'm looking at my first car .. and to be honest even if I had the money I think I'd go for the MK5 Polo . I am not a fan of 5 door only or the colours on the dash , also in my opinion the older Polo is of a higher quality . That is not very VW at all .
@davithdevries6774
@davithdevries6774 6 жыл бұрын
Dan L you don't have to have the fancy colors, you can choose silver/grey or black ones as well. The MK5 better quality? Definitely not. You need to see these side by side in the showroom, I did, the Mk6 Polo is really up there, only an arm's length away from the Golf VII, equal to a Golf V I would say. The deals on the remaining MK5 ones are nice of course, which can be great for a first car.
