Volkswagen Polo 1.4 TDI

This car was originally purchased as a compromise between what my wife wanted - something small and easy to drive but with nippy performance - and what I wanted - something big and powerful. We had decided that we no longer needed two cars which had been the previous solution to the dilemma. The search was on and it was to be either an estate or a hatch. We looked at several different options. One was a Honda Civic but my wife didn’t like the styling and it was too big. Next came the Honda Jazz, very impressive seat arrangements but again my wife didn’t like the styling. (I think it was the ... more

I have a VW Polo 1.4tdi 06 plate Its the best car I've had, economical, practical, stylish and nippy. The boot is not huge but can fit one large suitcase and two small at a squeeze so adequate for my family of four.

When you first start the engine it sounds like a normal diesel but after 5mins of the engine running you could be forgiven for thinking that it is ... more

This review is for the VW Polo 1.4 TDI S edition on the 52 plate. My experience of the car is that it was very reliable, well built, has excellent fuel economy around 50mpg and a good level of equipment for the class of car. The interior of the car is well made. The quality of the materials used is excellent. Instead of a plasticy looking dash the VW polo has a matt ruberised feel to the dash board and switches. Whereas the rest of the interior is finished in good quality materials. The use of grey materials is a bit excessive and in my opinion the quality of the seat materials could be a ... more
