2007 Volkswagen Polo reviews

Volkswagen Polo 1.4TDI S 2007

My previous car was a a big VW Golf Plus 1.6 FSI , which was very comfortable and I thought fast, but the tax was going up rapidly to nearly £200 a year, until I exchanged it for the smaller Polo (downsizing). I have saved money already, even the tax is only £35 a year because it’s the 1.4TDI (S version with no extras), which is still relatively rare in these parts of the country. I was totally surprised at the acceleration of this tiny diesel power unit, much sprintier than the Golf Plus petrol. Although a smaller car, it is still comfortable and can sit at the wheel for almost 2 hours without feeling tired or sore. If I sit at 60mph, the fuel needle hardly moves and could probably do about 500 miles on a full tank at that speed. I would recommend the 1.4TDI, if you can source one. I found from the service dealer that there are two service intervals, 10,000 and 15,000, they say it’s got to do with your driving habits.
