Thought I'd post. I still lurk :)

 

So I've had the Polo for a few months now and I'm really loving it..

 

Pros:

- Torquey as balls. It may only be a 1.4 3-banger, but it has 170lb/ft torque at 1,500rpm.. way more than the Honda ever had. Gets up to speed with much more ease than the Honda ever did.

- It sips diesel. 70-75MPG is not uncommon. I can maintain 80MPG+ if the roads are clear, traffic lights are in my favour and I'm gentle. A lot of stop start on my commute will see this drop to 65-70MPG

- Knowing you can turn the key and it will just work**

 

Cons

- It's pretty souless to drive

- You can tell modern cars are built to meet a budget, not built to last. They just dont feel as "solid"?

- I miss VTEC

- I miss driving the car how I like

- I miss driving the car as much as I like

- Managing the DPF can be a real pain

 

** After 300 miles the EGR valve failed and VW took ONE MONTH to fix it.

During this time I had a 1.0 VW Up which I treated like a little bitch and for 2 weeks I had a 2015 Golf SV GT TDi DSG which was a beautiful car to drive.
