It might have bettered SEAT'Â’s Ibiza by two places, but the Polo still falls short of SkodaÂ’'s Fabia. All three share a basic platform, but it's the German car that costs the most. So it's all the more worrying that a fifth of you say it hasnÂ’'t lived up to your expectations, and also that the Polo reaches the top 50 in only one category. You are most unhappy behind the wheel, slating numb handling and weedy performance. And, when it does get up to speed, you say the brakes aren'Â’t up to the job.
