Economy
Value
Very cheap and long lasting. Parts are cheap if you avoid the main dealer.
Costs
Parts are cheap if you avoid the main dealer. Averages about 38mpg, which isn't bad for its age.

On the road
Driving
Bumpy ride and oversteers if pushed. Brakes are poor. Great for getting to work and back in though.
Performance
Pretty slow off the mark, but keeps up with the traffic.

Living with it
Reliability
Always gets me where I want to go and often used as a van!
Image
The only people who like them are other Polo owners. Deeply uncool, but quite loveable anyway.
Comfort
Harsh ride, seats OK, not too noisy at speed.

Security
Probably very easy to break into, but nobody wants to.
