Faults:

Nothing in the last couple of years in my ownership, it has full history and appears to be a very well cared for car, and I continue to look after it.

General Comments:

Bought this as a cheap runabout to replace another cheap runabout! This Polo has been a good car and never let me down. White with aftermarket black alloy wheels, smart looking car.

"S" model is very, very basic. Electric windows in front, that is it. Poor levels of equipment in my opinion even for a basic 2009 car. Boot/hatch is tiny. I find myself using the back seats for extra places for shopping bags.

Seats are comfortable enough for town driving. 1.2 petrol is very slow, but cheap to tax and insure. Can get 50 mpg out of it, but 45 mpg is more likely with shorter journeys.

A fun little hatchback that you cannot expect too much from; if you want the basics of transport, a looked after VW Polo is a good choice.
