topgazza Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 My wife has an excellant yaris 1.3 which is in for some body work. She has 1.2 base 3 door Polo as a courtesy car. First impressions are , very quiet, nice inside (I like VW austere interiors and I have a Passat Highline Estate so I like VW's), decent stereo and it appears well built. Bad things seem to be very much over light steering, completely gutless (I would guess its the lower 54 bhp engine?). What is the genderal consensus here on the new Polo ?

R32North Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I think the 130hp TDi Sport will be a great wee car, the looks in general are OK, but I wan't impressed with it (1.2) when I had one on hire! Base models lack too much. Overall, they need to have more character and welcoming feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgazza Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 ...and they are not cheap either. Wife complained that she ran over a drain cover, whcih she does most days on the same road but the Polo nearly skewed over to the opposite side of teh road. Much too sensitive steering. Wonder if its a bit more solid on the other models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] MrsTP has the 55 plate Polo TDi Sport (100ps) and it's a cracker. Very nippy, build quality is good and in 5 door mode it's an ideal second car. We installed the Dension iPod kit so the stereo is improved too. All in all, a top car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 They have discontinued the 130 Best looking for a Mk6 GT (same engine). Most go for just over 10k. 130bhp and 55MPG, yes please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Yes, the 130ps TDi Polo was dropped when they launched the Polo GTi. I test drove the 130ps TDi Polo and the wheel spin was amazing !! In the end we opted for the 100ps as it's more than enough poke in a Polo as it's the second car. The R32 offers alternative fun !!!
