Just ordered a 1.4 Polo Match in flash red, standard spec for end oct/early Nov delivery. Dealer seemed much keener to sell a 1.4 than a 1.2 interestingly. Possibly the 1.2 is in greater demand and shorter supply? Got a 10% discount as well as the £1000 deposit allowance and free insurance. Polo is replacing the up! we have had for a year which is a cracking little motor, being three doors and four seats with three children though and a change in job we really needed five seats even though we have an F20 1 Series as the main car. Wife hated the brakes on the up! and thought the steering wheel was a too big
It will be better on the days I take it on my 20 mile commute I also get to use my beamer a bit more, even if the up!s 65mpg meant low fuel bills, the gearbox is a tad noisy and overall refinement on a long run is not great. Spot on for a city car but not quite so good for regular longer runs. Wish they would put the 1.2 85 TSi in the Polo as that would of been my choice, as 1.4 is ok though, economy seems on par with my 116i that returns 54 mpg on a decent longer run and around 37-40mpg in town?
