Volkswagen Polo 1.4 SE 85PS 5dr
What is it?
NEW petrol version of VW’s brilliant Polo. Power comes from an 84bhp 1.4-litre unit which is hooked up to a five-speed gearbox. Priced from £11,850 in three-door form or £12,450 on the road in five-door trim tested here.
What’s hot?
- Engine may not pack any fancy turbochargers or even stop-start…
- …but it’s smooth, quiet and responsive
- And economical too, boasting 48.7mpg combined
- CO2 emissions of 139g/km are impressive too
- Steering response better than diesel thanks to lower engine weight
- Brilliant refinement and a soothing ride
- Classy mini-Golf looks
- Super sturdy cabin
- Lots of space in the front and the back
- Excellent residual values
What’s not?
- Still not as much fun to drive as Ford’s Fiesta…
- …and lacks a bit of sparkle
- Quite pricey
