Volkswagen Polo Hatchback (02-09) - Review Review by David Ross on 17 January 2007 Last Updated: 21 July 2008 It may not be the most exciting small hatchback on the market but the Volkswagen Polo is hugely popular. And with excellent build quality, bullet-proof reliability and that all important Volkswagen badge on the grille, it's not hard to see why. Safe and comfortable to drive it's available with a wide choice of engines including some very economical diesels while the interior is durable and well finished. If you're looking to save money there's also an environmentally-friendly Bluemotion model available. Thanks to engine tweaks, aerodynamic changes and longer gearing this emits just 99g/km of CO2 - so it qualifies for free-road tax, plus it will average an incredible 74mpg. The model was facelifted in mid-2005 with a sharper look and angular headlights replacing the twin lights. 4 out of 5 Other Volkswagen reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4 out of 5 Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback (06 on) Excellent build quality, neat interior, roomy and comfortable cabin, safe handling, low emissions ecoFLEX model Lack of cabin stowage, lacklustre petrol engines Read full review 4 out of 5 Renault Clio Hatchback (05 on) Chic style, comfortable and sophisticated interior, excellent ride quality Over-assisted steering, seats lack support, ESP not standard, cheap feeling interior on base models Read full review 4 out of 5 Toyota Yaris Hatchback (06-11) Spacious, economical, well equipped, has sliding rear bench Poor automatic option, dull interior, average drive, bouncy ride Read full review Find other hatchback cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
