- Reasonable space for four
- Small car is easy to park
- Back seat folds for larger objects
Polo buyers benefit from the fact that this model has grown over the years. It’s a roomy car with a decent-sized boot for this class but the rear seats lack the flexibility that you get with the Honda Jazz or Toyota Yaris.
That said, they do fold for increased load area and there are numerous cubby holes and a large glovebox.
There is also under-seat storage on SE models and above.
Volkswagen Polo Mk4 safety
Although it wasn’t the market leader, the Polo still gets a four star Euro NCAP crash test rating thanks to dual front airbags along with ABS as standard. Side airbags were available as an option.
