Volkswagen Polo

Owner verdict (Driver Power 2010):

It has the brand image so many supermini buyers desire, but is the Polo a letdown for owners? This set of results suggests they are becoming increasingly dissatisfied.

You could argue that poor scores in the handling and performance categories won’t bother 'mini buyers too much, but 86th for ride and 93rd for comfort show that the Polo is beginning to look outclassed.

Overall owner rating :
78.24% (95th overall in Driver Power 2010)
Owners who would buy a Polo Mkiv again:
68%
Owners who would buy another Volkswagen again:
92%
