The Volkswagen Polo is one of the statesmen of the automobile market, remaining stoic in their refusal to disappear from service stations across the land. After more than 30 years on our roads, the Polo is still seen on every street throughout the country. It is available in hatchback, coupe and variants of goods for all are served. However, as Bob Dylan and the baby of the fleet of Volkswagen (following the introduction of the Lupo in 1998 and Fox in 2004), the Polo now is in a slightly strange position between the entry-level model and field the highest specification. New drivers who opt for lower models, while the more adventurous is passed directly to the Golf. It appears to the untrained eye that Volkswagen will bring the compression in their own product. VW are struggling to find an appropriate niche for the Polo?
Let's look at the competition. The sporty Seat Ibiza is obvious like a Spanish waiter with itchy clothes below, the Opel Corsa stalks about as a Huntsman spider and the ever-present Ford Fiesta reinvents herself more than Madonna does. That goes without mentioning the Fiat, the Toyota and Honda, who are turning heads and gaining notoriety in the Automobile circles. To stay afloat Pole will have to keep well ahead of the curve.
On a purely aesthetic, the Polo does not disappoint. The aspect of evolution can not hide the lineage of treasured Volkswagen, the curvaceous body to keep updated a day with the time it is clearly Jones 'VW'. In relative terms, the Pole is like an aging aunt with a keen desire to see 17 again, maybe get a drink here and there and almost be there … almost. But do you want to be seen with her? Well, as a matter of fact, I would … if he was a Pole … Do not … but you know what I mean … somehow. The point is that the Polo has maintained the understated good looks and style that have remained popular since its inception in 1975. The bulk favorite square and has softened to the modern taste, but remains without a doubt the "Volkswagen Look '.
In terms of performance of Polo will reinvent the wheel, but not of current or future owners Polo is expected. Volkswagen's shtick is all the reliability, robustness and a little push from time to time. The claw-E engine Polo is extremely sensitive for a base model and is backed by excellent handling and an intuitive suspension system to file the bumpiest of city streets or highways pot hole ridden country.
The tired old cliché of German engineering will be removed efficiently should mention, but there is a tinge of frivolity only found throughout the car, everything is functional, because otherwise it would not be in the car. A simple / concept core has been applied in the design of the pole, ensuring that quality has a huge precedent over quantity. Apply this logic to German beers if you will, never beverage tastier, and often more expensive than other beers, but always seem to get drunk faster if you choose the form of Bavaria. That, my friends, is efficiency.
The real feather in the cap of Polo is the way he has conquered and effort to straddle the most pressing social problems of the day. Operating expenses extremely low polar combat the current economic pit we are in, while the rate remains for the environment with the impressive low CO2 emissions. So if you're a banker or financial condemned an earth-loving hippie, is unlikely to bother to see this car on the road.
The future seems uncertain for the VW Polo, the competition is growing like a pack of hungry wolves, but for now remains near the top of the pyramid supermini both in popularity and performance stakes. Whether it stays there for much longer is another matter.
