I have a VWPolo1.4tdi 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 ...
Advantages: Great fun to drive, nippy and reliable Disadvantages: Strange pedals!
The Polo1.4 was the first car that I ever bought myself so will always be quite special in a weird kind of way!
I traded in my old battered Fiesta that my mum and dad had bought me and purchased a VW1.4Polo Match special edition for around £10000.
The car came with quite a few extras for the money including manual air conditioning and an electric sunroof (very nifty gadget on such a small car!) I am not too sure why the car had both a sunroof and air conditioning though as you only really needed one or the other! It also came with metallic paint and I chose the Silver colour which was great as it hardly shows up any dirt at all and comes up very nicely when it's polished.
I owned the 3 door version and you did have to be careful with the front doors as they are very big and heavy and can sometimes blow away in heavy wind ...
Advantages: Good allrounder, good handling, well built Disadvantages: lack of equipment (unless paid for), low ground clearance
small. We have a little baby and his pram won't fit into the boot unless the back seats folded down first. Once the pram is in, back seats can be returned to their original position.
Fuel economy is as expected. No diffrent than the rivals. But the offical figures are a little bit on the conservative side. You will surely do burn more than stated in the owners manual.
This is my fourth VW and I will probably continue using them for the forseable future. Previous ones included a Polo mk2, Golf mk2 and a 1967 Beetle. I ahe also driven a Passat TDi for work for a few years.
If a VW designer is reading this:
"In my view VW needs to put more extras in the cars, such as mp3 player, safety features, electric windows for the back as standart. They will make the good cars even more desirable must buys." ...
