Summary
What does this car say about you?
It says I'm definately a classy, tasteful and fun individual.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
My parents love the car and see it as the family car in the household due to the huge boot space.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, I will buy another Polo or Volkswagen.
What are you likely to buy next?
A Polo Bluemotion (When a new one comes out) or a more economically friendly Volkswagen in order to get free tax!
-
Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£7,980
When did you buy the car?
March 2010
Did you get a good deal and why?
I had the money to buy the car and money spoke! In addition to a full valet and all knocks and dents taken out, I got new Car Mats, Remote Central Locking, half a tank of fuel and a free service.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I have been looking for a Polo for a while and have wanted one since I started driving and the last generation of Polo's seemed perfect.
What was the dealer like?
West London Volkswagen were helpful and friendly and much more approachable than other VW dealerships I had visited. Most seemed uninterested and had fleets of VW Polo Match's which made the whole thing feel less individual.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Smooth through the gears and punchy for somebody like me who has been used to straining a Citroen Saxo 1.1 for 3 years.
What's it like to park?
The power assisted steering (Something I have bever had before!) is a boon, I love it. Couldn't be without it now, although it was strange getting used to it at first.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not so far, touchwood.
What's most practical about your car?
IPOD Dock/Connector. It saves messing around with a wire hanging out of your stereo. Remote Central locking is also very handy in car parks and when I have a lot of bags.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I love the IPOD dock and the leather steering wheel, gearknob and gaitor.
