Our Verdict
The Volkswagen Polo is one of the most popular and longstanding models in its range. The car has sharp looks, refined and comfortable driving experience and the feel of the material is top-class. This is what appeals to the masses. The Polo offers the features of a sedan for the price of a hatchback. The high-speed stability of this vehicle is tremendous. Running costs and maintenance is not very economical as compared to competitors. If you are looking for a driver’s car, where it's not so much of a utility but for mere luxury then the Polo is a good option.
