Comfortable as well as quick... but not exciting
A polished supermini for sensible buyers
Neat off-road styling additions, comfortable ride, economical engine, good build quality
Not actually four-wheel drive, lacklustre 1.2-litre engine, offers little over a standard Polo, dull cabin design
Small, solid and dependable - the Polo Mk4 exemplifies traditional VW values
Neat GTI styling, nippy performance, excellent build quality and reliability
Not especially fun to drive and not quick enough to be a genuine hot hatch
Quality image, strong residual values, reliability.
Expensive for a supermini.
Solidly built; desirable image; slow depreciation
Expensive compared with the opposition
Quality image; strong residual values; reliability
