Economy
Value
Very pleased with what I got for my money.
Costs
Fuel economy could have been better. My own fault entirely, however.

On the road
Driving
Comfortable and quiet. Would have been nice if the seats held you in place a little better. Don't make the mistake I made and buy one without power steering!
Performance
1.0 engine a bit gutless on motorways, particularly when overtaking. Excellent about town though. Easy to drive.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems whatsoever.
Image
I think it's a nice looking car. They do sit quite high, though.
Comfort
No real complaints. Would be nice if the front seats were a bit tighter.
-
Security and Service
Security
Never had any trouble. A 1.0-litre's not really going to appeal to many joyriders.
Service
Have it serviced privately.

Problems
Engine
None, other than it lacking pace on motorways.

I wouldn't think twice about buying another Polo, albeit 1.4 or above.
