    I recently drove both a 2016 Polo and a 2016 Fiesta when I was looking to buy my first self bought car. The Polo has a nicer cabin, but I think the Fiesta is better looking and it is much more enjoyable to drive. Comfortable yet very precise in corners. Also the Fiesta was a little cheaper (comparing top level trims) at least here in Finland so I went with that. Btw, thanks Matt for your reviews, it was because of you that I actually found out about the Fiesta. 🙏

    If you are considering a Polo 1.0 Bluemotion 75HP or the 1.2TSi Bluemotion, save yourself the hassle and buy the 1.2. I originally bought the 75HP and although a great car it lacked the get up and go. I traded the 1.0 in for a 1.2TSi and it is the perfect balance of power for the car. Surprisingly the fuel consumption on the 1.2 is less as well compared to the 1.0 as you have to work the engine harder on the 1.0 - which uses more fuel. Moral of the story buy the 4 cylinder 1.2TSi from the start. Great car

    • @HnK_Alex
      @HnK_Alex 6 років тому +1

      I also have the 1.2 TSI with the CUP version so it has wider tyres @215mm. The engine is really good, has enough torque and power but there is quite some turbo lag which can be annoying. I also get about 45mpg on average.

      Agreed. We should have the new model on our roads already. But then cost is a concern in our rather conservative auto market.
      For those who have safety as the main aspect followed by comfort, timeless design and then features, this is built like a tank and not everyone wants a tin can with plethora of features, most of which we wouldn't even use in India. You certainly know those cars... 😉
      It's aged well and there are takers for this car, especially TSI GT. Pretty sure that's all VW wants instead of 5000+ number per month of every model they make. Quality over quantity stuff.

      while the quality is better in the polo, the polo does not stand a chance in terms of how the fresta drives, very little body roll in cornors, direct steering, great brakes, its a mini 3 series to be honest if not better to drive, it puts it to shame, the polo is a great car but come on dude its in a different class completely

    Had the 2017 1.0 Match for about 6 months now and I agree, it’s a very sensible and easy to drive car. I’d definitely agree through.. if you can, go for the 1.2 because the 1.0 is mind numbingly slow!

    • @TextuRePro
      @TextuRePro 2 роки тому

      1.2 is also pretty lifeless, 88hp is just enough to comfortably commute around city however entering any road above 40mph will make you want to walk as it's probably faster lol.

    My first car also a polo in pistachio green was my mums old car. 95M 1.3cl. 55bhp. Even Austin got more power out of a similar sized allegro engine! My friends 1.0 3 cylinder corsa was as quick. Overtaking and joining slip roads were scary. Despite that it was quite pleasant to drive, It never broke down and did 40mpg. Less than the 1.4tsi 140bhp Fr leon family estate I have today. I guess it had to work hard. Award winning in it's day the crazy colour meant I could find it everywhere in under 10 seconds.

  • @thierryvt
    @thierryvt 7 років тому +1

    my first car was a 98 polo with a 1.4 petrol that put out a massive 55hp while also maintaining a whopping 35mpg. The stereo needed about 5 minutes to "warm up" before it started playing and the starter motor was shot.
    The first night I got it it froze -10°C so the first ever time I wanted to drive it to school the locks had frozen... So I had to go get some hot water and thaw the damn thing.
    Not to mention the seals were busted so Ice would form on the inside.
    Other than that nothing ever broke on it and even with the broken starter motor it always started (except for when the battery died).
    I did like the little car though, don't regret buying it one bit.

    Just brought a ex-demo October 2016 blueGT 1.4TSI 150ps ACT it's fantastic brilliant price - pick of the range Matt if brought as stock or ex-demo (to cut price) It's fun/super economy will tied down (comes with sport's suspension) none of the body roll you described very direct/response car. Do hope they keep a blueGT TSI in the new Polo's. They are in fact quite hard to find Polo blueGT's too.

I test drove most cars in the same price range & the polo was so much better to drive than the others.

I was very disappointed with how cramped it felt, after the Jazz which is massive inside for a super mini. I have a Golf on order, since only that can match the Jazz's roominess. It was my 3rd Jazz, so I wanted a change.

  • @pushbikeman

    This is a good information video but even 5 years ago reviewer Mat Watson wears sneakers that seem a bit too young for him, thankfully in this 2016 review, he contains the excesses of what I see as an irritating tendency for irrelevance but here he stays if only just on the right side of quirky. So if you are considering a used VW polo this car wow video is a good enough place to start and the review seems fair and balanced. As for the Polo, I do like it but is it only me or is it a boring car? but then if it works and works well and remains reliable then it has to be considered.

    I've rented these. The 1.4 version with no turbo. That ain't quick so 1.2tsi is a good replacement. Had this engine on my last leon in the more powerful 110bhp guise. It's decent. The ride of the polo is good. The steering too light with virtually no feel and too much body roll. It's nicely refined but getting on a bit now. Like the fiesta it's beginning to look a bit dated. This is virtually a mark 5. If it gets latest platform it could be a fun drive.

I find the best way to make it go fast is by driving it like a turbo diesel, as it seems to have peal power really low down. It feels like it dies at around 4.5k.

I could have gone for a used top of the line Kia Picanto with all the bells and whistles, but it's TINY. A 2016 mk5 Polo is about the same size as the Fabia whilst having vastly superior specs.

    Sooo, the inside isn't better than any other car in the segment, volume knob is still wrong, rear bench would be acceptable for an A-segment car, boot space is smaller than most, it's not fun to drive.
    All that's good about it is the suspension at low speeds and the 60 HP engine is actually as economical as advertised? I guess if driving is a chore for you and are going to sell it in a few years it makes sense. Even the last ten Fiesta is more practical than this and those seem fun.
    How does this stack up agains the current i20 and the 2017 Rio?

    The Polo is a decent car but it is so old-fashioned these. It's pretty much had same basic design for over 20 years. Something new and fresh might not go amiss! The latest Clio makes the Polo look like it comes from the dark ages!
