Volkswagen Polo Supermini The Statesman Senior

The Volkswagen Polo is one of the old Supermini market statesmen; remaining stoic in their refusal to disappear plazas across the country. With so many young contenders taking the beaten Polo heels, how will continue to be a favorite petrol head?

No longer the baby of the Volkswagen fleet (following the introduction of the Lupo in 1998 and Fox in 2004), the Polo is now in a position a little awkward between the input pattern and the largest spec Golf . VW is struggling to find an appropriate niche for Polo?

The sporty appearance Seat Ibiza stands out as a Spanish waiter with itching under-dressed, the Vauxhall Corsa stalks nearby as a Huntsman spider and the ubiquitous Ford Fiesta reinvents over Madonna did. Not to mention the decrees, Toyota and Honda heads, all turning and gaining notoriety in the Supermini circles. To stay afloat the Polo will keep well ahead of the curve.

Evolved looks can not hide estimated Volkswagen lineage, the curvaceous body updated to keep up appearances, while remaining distinctly 'VW'. The point is that the Polo has kept its beauty and discreet style that has maintained its popularity since its inception 1975. The robust body, boxy favorite was softened to modern taste, but it is still the undisputed "Look Volkswagen."

Polo In terms of performance will not reinvent the wheel, but the owners are not present or future Polo expect. The whole shtick Volkswagen is the reliability, robustness and a bit of glamor to the occasion.

The tired old cliché of the effectiveness of German engineering will be charged here, but there is not a single nuance of frivolity are located throughout the car; everything is functional, because if it were, it would not be in the car. A simple concept / base was applied to the Polo design, ensuring that quality has a huge precedent over quantity. Apply this logic to German beers if you want; Never tasty drinks and often more expensive than other beers, but you always seem to be drunk faster if you choose the path of Bavaria. The real feather in hat Polo is the way he rode effortlessly and conquered the most pressing social issues of the day. Polo very low operating costs fight against the current economic pit burial in which we find ourselves, being environmentally friendly, with remarkably low CO2 emissions. So if you are a banker or financial sentenced hippie lover of the earth, it is unlikely to be disturbed to see this car on the road.
