Overall Rating |  |
This long-lasting supermini resists wear and tear better than its contemporaries. What it concedes to Clio or Punto in driving pleasure, it wins back in durability, reliability and safety.
For
- The best built supermini of its generation
- Promises safety, long life and few problems
- Depreciates slower than most rivals
Against
- The costliest choice in this class
- Starting to look a bit dull and dated
- Higher service costs than most rivals
Road Test
For some, this Polo looks too similar to the 1994-00 generation car to justify its higher used prices. But under its tough skin there are many improvements: better trim and equipment, and even higher safety standards with ABS, twin airbags and optional side bags.
