Love the almost horizontal waistline and the 3rd quarter window between the rear doors and the C pillar like the A3. Gives great visibility in awkward situations. Top marks to the designers at VW when rearward visibility in most cars now is SHIT. This could actually convince me to buy the car.

Brilliant review bob as usual....informative and very honest as always.

Lovely fluidic, no nonsense review, as always. 👍

The best innovation was the diesel defeat device. Pity they got caught.

Fantastic review as always, but that twisted rear seat belt was driving me batty.

20k for a "second car to get the messages?!" jeeze, people still living like a recession never hit so.

No need for a 65bhp engine in 2018. Id rather have no tech but a beefier engine.

You sure love a spin through the Curragh

Surely the Seat Ibiza is it's main rival

It's quite simple Bob the polos getting bigger because there owners are getting bigger in 20 years time it will be like a bus

The size and exterior looks are becoming very blurred between so many models in car brands these days.

Great review! Would you say that the TSI 95 hp version could make this car a good choice for a young adult who is going to travel ocasionally?

It§ a brilliant car, thanks bob

I went for a test drive in one yesterday, the rear space is great for 2 but trying to get into the middle seat is difficult cause of the high tunnel. For small kids it’s fine but not adultsThe Seat Arona is the same.

You cant beat the irish style

I really miss the coloured textiles in the mk2

Great review Bob. How is the road noise at motorway speeds? Is it good for the class or does it take it to the next level? I'm looking for a properly quiet motorway cruiser that isn't E-Class money, haven't found anything decent yet that's cheapish (in Australia).

Hi Bob, apologies for being out of touch for so long but I’ve been out of action for a good while after breaking my back again! 11th fracture to date! Just needed to know does the Polo come in Automatic as I obviously use hand controls and is it worth it? I am about to trade in my 161 Prius Luxury and due to my injuries I only have just over 4,000kms on the clock - would you know what I should look for when selling it? Thinking of going smaller but do you think I should stay with Toyota Hybrid range but a smaller version? I had a Golf many years ago in comfortline and liked it but the Polo seems very attractive. With the maximum limit of €10,000 of Vat and VRT would you know the price of a car where I could maximize the relief I receive from Revenue? Your help is gratefully received in advance - keep up the brilliant work! Talk to you soon -oh, would you like me to put a link to your Subscription on my new website that’s undergoing a transformation at the moment - ignore the one that’s up at present - that was just a test site helping me get my head around working with WordPress? The sites address is Ability2.org - talk to you soon, Regards, MarkC

Can't beat the sandero for city use

lovely car, but looks too much like the golf. Are they making a turbo petrol version like 1.4tsi?

The American mantra: Longer, lower, wider.

The VW Up! is what the Golf used to be.

Siri is not dumb.

At 05:19 that all new polo manages to look like a 2013 Hyundai i30.....VW borefest yet again........What lab was this polo tested in VW? I wouldnt help advertiise VW Bob and the awful awful going on's that VW are currently into.Whats the next shocker from VW???
