Used Volkswagen Polo car buying guide

Think of the Volkswagen Polo as a smaller version of the Volkswagen Golf. It’s one of the most mature and well-built superminis available. It’s just as excellent on the motorway as it is darting around the city. It's also has plenty of space, has a great reputation for reliability and won't cost a lot to run.

The Volkswagen Polo is a five-door hatchback that’s modern and sporty. A car that’ll look good wherever you take it, from the office car park to a fancy hotel. There’s a car to suit everyone, from entry-level S up to the sporty and thrilling GTI.

How it drives

The Volkswagen Polo is the perfect all-rounder. You’ll find it smooth and easy to drive in the city and comfortable and powerful on the motorway. There’s a good choice of engines, from sprightly petrols to ultra-frugal diesels. All are low cost and fun to own.

The interior

The Polo is one of the most spacious small hatchbacks around and its boot is large enough for three medium-sized suitcases stacked side by side. In the rear, there’s room for three adults across the back seats and head and leg room is generous. Despite its abundant interior space, the Polo is still small enough to fit easily into a small garage at home or supermarket parking space.
