I drive an exact copy of this car just in silver, same engine same wheels same spec, I have previously owned a fiesta and driven a mazda 2 and he is right the polo is not as good in the bends, but its a much nicer and comfortable car to drive around. It is also cheap to tax and run, I averaged 52MPG with 4 people in the car over a 370 mile run. There might not be any negotiation on price from a dealer but the customer service from a VW dealer is 10 times better than any ford or renault dealer. Also a VW will hold its value better when compared to a Ford, Mazda and Renault

I bought this car a year ago. I chose the VW Polo because of its class leading build quality and economical TSI engine. After 15000km I have had no issues besides the recall. However, I do find acceleration in 1st painfully slow. The steering is light, which is good for parking but that's about it. Servicing is also very expensive, it cost me $400 for the 15000 km service which is practically an oil change (they washed it as well;p).

The dash might look boring, but everything layout sensibly and easy to use. I would rather have a sensible and comfortable car and sacrifice the fun factor. How fun can uk roads get? If you want a fun car you won't be driving a fiesta. The controlling factor on polo is not that far from fiesta, just that the fiesta is more precise.

The Jazz won because I specifically needed it's magic seats to carry an elderly dog in the rear and because it has some other really nice attributes.

I learned to drive in a corsa (and a zafira lol), I think they handle pretty nicely and look alright, that and they can be group 1. Not come to a decision yet though, still looking around.

Both underpowered. And also, the steering is hilariously light with little or no feedback. And the worst part is space. I'm 6 foot 3 -the back seat is a joke for me! I find the Punto with the Multijet engine,killer looks and space to be much more value for money. It will depreciate,but its a good car for the price !!
