Volkswagen Polo Hatchback (2009 - 2017) 1.2 (70bhp) SE 3d (2011/11) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I feel so happy driving this car. I bought the flash red colour, and everytime I approach the car, I'm really glad I chose that colour. It's still making me happy to own it.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

All comments about the car have been very positive. Many friends say it's a great car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would buy this car again. I can see why VW owners become brand loyal.

What are you likely to buy next?

Definitely another VW. Maybe a Golf, or I might even replace it with another Polo.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

March 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Got a great deal on the part-ex of my three year old Vauxhall Corsa.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I did a lot of research before making my choice.

What was the dealer like?

Very friendly service, sorted everything out for me, including transferring and registering my new car with my personalised registration number.

What's it like to drive?

Rapid! It's quick off the mark, handles and corners well, and the driving position is great. I had real trouble with my last vehicle getting a comfortable driving position.

What's it like to park?

Piece of cake to park, although it did take me a few days getting used to reversing a three-door model, as the post is much wider. No problems after that.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No problems encountered as yet!

What's most practical about your car?

Good fuel economy, boot storage is excellent, having the false shelf to hide bits and bobs underneath.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Opted not to get the multi-function steering wheel, and it was a wise move. The stereo system is angled to the driver, and everything is in reach. The interior lighting is excellent.
