1.01 -> [Music]
6.2 -> look at the best-selling cars in the UK
9.3 -> and your notice the Volkswagen Polo is
12.32 -> consistently a high performer in fact
15.45 -> it's Volkswagens second best-selling car
17.76 -> worldwide after its golf and this latest
21.57 -> version faces some stiff competition not
24.75 -> only from Volkswagen Group's Skoda Fabia
27 -> and certai beef there but also Britain's
30.359 -> number one selling car the Ford Fiesta
33.11 -> in this review will tell you what it's
36.239 -> like to drive what it's like inside and
38.7 -> how easy it is to live with and if at
41.76 -> the end you're interested in buying a
43.71 -> Volkswagen Polo head to our new car
46.079 -> deals section of what car comm where we
48.93 -> could save you thousands first though
51.93 -> let's go for a drive there's a fairly
57.09 -> daunting range of engine choices in the
59.489 -> polo because there are six petrels and
62.399 -> two diesels however our favorite is the
66.18 -> 1 liter TSI it may only have 94 brake
69.96 -> horsepower and only 3 cylinders but it
73.59 -> is the perfect blend of performance co2
76.68 -> emissions and fuel economy it pulls well
80.34 -> around town holds its own on the
82.74 -> motorway and you just need to work it a
85.2 -> little bit harder to keep up the
87.509 -> momentum on country roads like these
90.29 -> where the Polo really shines is in its
93.299 -> ride comfort which matches the very best
96 -> cars in this class its suspension takes
98.7 -> the sting out of potholes and speed
100.38 -> bumps even at low speeds and it can
102.899 -> smooth out to rougher surfaces at higher
104.97 -> speeds the Paranoid doesn't quite top
108.57 -> the Ford Fiesta and set Ibiza with class
111.899 -> honours for handling however it does
114.93 -> offer precise steering secure handling
118.38 -> and plenty of grip which does give you
120.72 -> confidence to thread it through a series
123.03 -> of tight bends what will strike you to
126.42 -> is just how quiet the polo is when
128.91 -> cruising along
129.84 -> there's no excessive road and wind noise
132.239 -> and no nasty knocks from the suspension
134.79 -> when going over rough surfaces it's very
138.72 -> easy to get comfortable inside the polo
141.03 -> because there's plenty of adjustment in
142.53 -> the seat and steering well so no matter
146.04 -> what shape or size you are you should be
148.14 -> able to find a comfortable driving
149.52 -> position which just helps you feel a
151.739 -> little more relaxed after a long drive
154.23 -> in terms of visibility the front pillars
157.59 -> here Li a pillars do allow good
159.959 -> visibility and looking over your
162.569 -> shoulder is also good however if you
165.15 -> prefer parking sensors they come
166.83 -> standard on the SEL and if you would
169.83 -> like a reversing camera that's on the
172.08 -> options list for every car above the
174.42 -> entry-level s model the quality in here
177.87 -> is right up with a class best everything
180.45 -> you touch feels well built and put
183.36 -> together and there's plenty of soft
185.7 -> touch materials and there's eight
187.89 -> different colors for you to personalize
189.84 -> your polo only criticism I would have is
192.989 -> the plastic here feels a little low runs
196.14 -> all pros get this eight inch touchscreen
198.959 -> as standard which handles most of the
201.66 -> cars functions which means there's few
204.18 -> buttons elsewhere although good news the
207 -> air conditioning settings have a
208.68 -> shortcut for just here the system offers
211.38 -> good response times and crisp graphics
213.75 -> and the way the menus are laid out is
216 -> logical you can also specify an active
218.88 -> info display screen which replaces the
221.01 -> car's analog dials with a configurable
223.019 -> screen instead no other car in this
226.35 -> class can match the Polo when it comes
228.6 -> to front space tall adults will not be
231.78 -> rubbing the ceiling and they won't be
234.239 -> rubbing shoulders sitting side by side
236.16 -> either and when it comes to little
238.5 -> cubbies for your odds and ends there's
240.81 -> plenty of storage just in front of the
244.59 -> gear box and
245.98 -> decent-sized glovebox and deep door
249.129 -> pockets in the back is a similar story
253.15 -> if you're tall listen up because you'll
255.97 -> be able to sit behind an equally tall
257.739 -> adult without your knees brushing on the
259.81 -> front seat and without brushing the
262.57 -> ceiling as with all small cars those
265.27 -> sitting three adults side-by-side will
268 -> be a squeeze the polos boot is on a par
271.389 -> with the said I be fair but is much
274.389 -> larger than both Fabia and the Ford
277.24 -> Fiesta it's a really usable space as
280.09 -> well because the wheel arches don't
281.77 -> intrude into it and if you go for se or
284.8 -> SEL you get this movable boot floor
287.889 -> which when in place removes the load lip
291.66 -> the polo costs a little more to buy than
295.09 -> the Fabia Ibiza and Fiesta however its
298.66 -> residual values will be stronger which
300.669 -> means PCP deals are more competitive we
304.03 -> choose the 94 brake horsepower 1 litre
306.76 -> petrol engine and teammates with se
308.919 -> specification this is one up from the
311.26 -> entry-level s model and gets you 15 inch
314.139 -> alloy wheels electric rear windows and a
316.84 -> leather steering wheel as well as the
319.09 -> air conditioning and electric front
320.62 -> windows which come on every polo no
323.44 -> matter which version you go for your get
325.69 -> automatic emergency braking as standard
328.33 -> which contributed to the PLO being
330.849 -> awarded the full 5 stars in the Euro
333.34 -> endcap Craster the Polo is a truly
336.849 -> impressive small car it has a good
339.25 -> quality interior great infotainment
341.47 -> system comfortable ride and is more
344.47 -> spacious than most of its rivals for
347.44 -> plenty more on the Volkswagen Polo
