Interesting test, looks like Babelfish has done a decent translation for once!

It's like reading the Carcoat Damphands articles in Sniff Petrol...I didn't understand a word of it!!!
How does it rate the Ibiza?

The common engine in our test is the 1,4-Liter with 75 HP. The rich not, in order to win the blue volume for fastest Atlantic crossing, probably however, in order to quickly along-swim in the everyday life.
Do you know, those very words crossed my mind as I was driving along this morning....
75 HP - enough for the everyday life
Sadly, these ones didn't

On a more serious note:
Are they saying that the Polo's the best value for money, because it comes with more options as standard? I saw ESP and A/C prices being mentioned and a comment on the high price of Seat upgrades.

To be fair the air con price was high but did you see some of the other prices compared to SEATs? SEAT had some bargains in there!
They took out the Stellar, which is the base model in the range...for a few hundred pounds you get the S model and you get air con, ABS, etc as standard.

Also I noticed silly things on there like CD players were apparently options...a CD head unit is standard across the range over here...I think the market is very different in Germany...they must really make VW seem as the better brand so they sell more cars.
I hope you all get what I mean...it's late at night and I'm very tired!
