Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Just awful build quality. My 10 year old BMW has less cabin rattle. You couldn't pay me to get another VW. It's such a shame because my partners polo is a gem. That said, the DSG box is great, acceleration is quick and it handles well, but the sodding rattles ruin it.

How reliable do you find the car?

The car is reliable mechanically but rattles continuously. Something VW havent been able to solve. The sat nav screen behind the steering wheel also works intermittently. Overall build quality is poor.
