Volkswagen Polo 1.4 TDI > Reviews (11)

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.

A full tank of deisel ( around £40) will last me two to three weeks with the everyday school and work run and weekend local roaming around.
We took it to Glasgow - around 360 miles from home with a full tank on leaving, it had just under 1/4 of a tank when we got there.

When pulling away it drives more like a 1.6. and will sit very comfortably at 70mph on the motorway.

It feels safe and comfortable to drive, and has excellent build quality ( so my husband says lol ). We've had no mechanical problems so far.

It has cheap Tax and insurance.

Servicing costs £45 to change the oil for its first service at 10,000 , £120 for its next one at 20,000 miles and £150 for its third.

It came fitted with a great cd radio, has heated mirrors which are handy on frosty mornings. Electric windows in the front and manual in the back. The glove box is compact but big enough for my tom tom, and the dash lights up a funky blue colour.

My only moan about it and it is splitting hairs a little, is that when I clean it its almost impossible to hoover the bit between the front door and the front seats ( too narrow for a hoover attachment to squeeze down) Consequently there is a permanent little patch of fluff and dust that I can't get to and it bugs the life out of me.

I love my Polo and would recommend it to everyone.
