Volkswagen Polo 2009 reviews
Pros: Very warm car in autumn/winter, excellent lights, very brisk
Cons: Something is always breaking, if it's not the window wipers, you can't open the petrol tank or the boot! Almost impossible to pass the MOT because of CO2, repair as you like, change the sensors at a VW centre. High road tax for such low mileage and power!

Pros: Low fuel consumption, no expensive suspension parts, low tax.
Cons: The engine is not the most successful. I was "lucky", the paint peels and falls off in pieces, as usual in a new VW, the Golf 4 was a much better car, both the engine lasted and the paint didn't fall off in pieces.

Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: A small, comfortable, relatively affordable, if driving one or two persons. From front very similar to Golf.
Cons: The worst car I had. Fuel consumption doubles with four passengers. In two years had been replaced all essential elements. Karmically - turbine ended immediately after warranty. Flywheel every 50 000 km. At 80 kmh noise is impressive. Strangely rust - but not on edges or corners, but doors exactly on center. Funny - chromed details rust hard.
