Summing it up
As we get to this part of the review, we noticed there is hardly anything not to like about the car. The German engineering which forms the core of this car shines through, and you have to experience it yourself to believe what we say. Volkswagen has ensured it has ironed out all the chinks in the Polo’s armour with the new engine, which now matches the excellent chassis and makes it a complete package. One factor that might go against the Polo could be interior space, but this is a hatchback and if you want to feel like the king of square feet on wheels, you could always buy an MPV or an SUV. We would also like the German carmaker to bring down the cost of its spares and service down to the other leading mainstream carmakers’ level to make the Polo an even more compelling buy.
To sum it up. If the new 2014 Volkswagen Polo was a man and I was a woman of substance, it would be my pick in the crowd. The car is a smooth operator; its grace, the stance, the way it does the dance will make girls feel apprehensive approaching it. Only a woman will connect to that appeal of a mature fragrance the Polo disperses around it and with the added power of that new 4-cylinder engine, it has the muscle to carry you home on its back, when its too late in the night and there is no cab in sight.
