Though the new Polo’s starting price looks attractive, the base 3-door model doesn’t come with many frills and you need to spend over $20,000 (plus on-road costs) to get a comprehensively equipped vehicle. Viewed in that regard, the Polo could be considered to be a fairly expensive light car.
However, there are many things about the Polo that are equal to, or better than cars costing quite a deal more. These include its excellent build quality, its top safety and security ratings, and its fine chassis dynamics. In short, the Polo will suit buyers who are looking for a modern, good looking small European hatchback and who appreciate the finer points of driving dynamics and the extra attention to detail design that comes with high quality product.
