Conversely I loved the front driver's side grab handle on the previous Polo - but only as I could remove it and fit a previous model of Golf sunglasses storage bin in its place - same hole pitch! Very annoying not having a sunglasses storage bin within reach, yes I know previous Polo had it in the glove box, but that is a bit of a reach when you are driving, the similar Skoda Fabia had that as an option, but I seem to remember it made the interior monitoring sensors look like what you would see in a 1980's car, so I did not bother retro fitting one to my wife's 2015 6C Polo.
New AW0 Polos have sunglasses storage on the roof along with the center light cluster, which is nice I guess.

At last, it has taken them long enough to design a storage position where it should be!

Then you'll get an annoying rattle you think is coming from the dash, take the car to the dealership for a fix and look sheepish when you are told it was your glasses - or they take your trim to bits, snap a few pegs/clips along the way, put it back together (without replacing broken clips) and say they couldn't find the rattle, but now you have more from where those broken clips should fit.

My A3 sportback had an annoying rattle that seemed to eminated from the dashboard.
Went in a few times, they couldn't trace it.
Tearing my hair out, I insisted a mechanic came for a test drive with me.
The guy was some kind of rainman genius, he just lightly pressed his finger against the handbrake release button....end of rattle.
The bloody handbrake! Nowhere near the dash! but it sure as hell sounded like it.

Luckily for me my Audi S4 does not get handed in for issues, too much trouble, but, yes, I had an annoying rattle in the S4, eventually it only happened when it was not sunny, yes, you've guessed what the problem was! Now I need to take my sunglasses out of the holder, then remove their sleeve that I need to store them in to keep them from rattling. I need to experiment with some black baise and padded double sided sticky stuff - like I used to use to line the ashtrays in previous cars when I kept parking change in there!
