Resons to buy/not buy a polo 1 of 8 Ciao Users found the following review helpful
Rating from imagine072 4 Stars ()

Advantages Cheap to run

Disadvantages Poor paint and expensive car insurance

I bought my Polo to originally learn in back in April. It was okay to start off with, but then I didn't drive it for a while. When left to stand Polo's like mine (1995) fade, rust and the battery goes flat.

Although my car is 11 years old, its a fantastic runner and since I passed my test I've done nearly 5000 miles in it. It starts first time every time, and warms up quickly. It's easy to drive, and a very enjoyable ride. It's comfy, and easily maintaned.

A few points to consider:
Red on Polo's fades easily, mines a matt red and takes a lot of polishing,
If you buy a 3 door hatch back then the doors are extremely big and heavy (I shut my hand in it earlier) and I am forever squeezing into it as there is no room in spaces.
The 1.3 is good, but because mines done 124,000 miles it struggles at 75-80.

It may be a good idea to buy a newer one, I've found that cheaper car insurance is really not the best reason to buy a 95 Polo
