    I would like to buy another Volkswagen and am thinking about either a polo or a golf.

  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It is nice to drive but it takes a bit of getting used to because the front of the car and the dashboard feels very long (especially compared to my ford ka). It also seems to guzzle petrol on my commute to work (80 mile round trip) so I intend to get something more economical in the future.

    What's it like to park?

    Again it takes a lots of getting used to be caused of the soft top aspect of it and the window at the back is very small.
