Volkswagen Polo

Overall Average Rating - 80.6%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 98th

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.

Ratings

Comfort: 93rd
Ease of Driving: 85th

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 16th)

It’s tough for high-volume makers to stay at the top here, yet VW has climbed one place. The MkVI Golf will be included in the 2010 poll, and bosses will hope it will lift the firm further ahead of its rivals.
