Driving it
What's it like to drive?
For a 1.4 its fairly slow and should be producing more than 60bhp ! Nippy in 2nd and 3rd. Steering can start to get shaky above 60 on uneven road but can cruise on motorway fine. Its good round the bends with bigger wheels and wider tyres
What's it like to park?
Light steering and good visabilty makes it easy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Thermostat and passenger side electric window mechanism. Reliabilty is overrated with this generation of polo.
What's most practical about your car?
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I have the open air model and its brilliant. Also got mp3 connection which is handy.
