Yea I drove a loan, very base modal SE 95 manual for a couple of weeks on a 68 plate, your describing it as "Humdrum" is a bit unfair of you LOL. I hated the 5 gears, the reduced power, the keys being used to start the car and hanging down tapping my right knee, I hated the lack of heated seats, the very plain analogue dash, the lack or reverse camera, no internal ambient lighting no park assist to play with no driver mode switch, no cruise control let alone active cruise, no blind spot warning. No sports seats, rear drums brakes, no sat nav, it goes on and on.Andy Beats wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 10:10 amYeah, car thieves seem to fall into two groups.
Professional thieves that are stealing with a buyer in mind and joy riders.
I can't see a humdrum Polo appealing to either of those groups, not unless it's so easy to nick it's too tempting for them.
And I include my own Polo in that humdrum statement, BTW, wasn't having a go at the SEL in particular.
Christ, if joyriders stole my 95bhp Polo the police would report they were in a luke-warm pursuit!
I imagine you would feel it gets you around safely and at a cost you can live with and I guess unless your going to drive a high end car that's all the base modal VWs Audis and BMWs will ever do.
