Mint Sauce

September 10, 2005

ENGINE The 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine develops 75bhp, enough only to ensure leisurely performance. The unit is relatively smooth, though and the four-speed gearbox is similarly decent

INTERIOR The dashboard is well laid-out and the materials used are uniformly excellent. There are plenty of thoughtfully-arrranged storage spaces, too

FRONT The new family face sits very well on the Polo, the car looks considerably more expensive than it actually is

The new Polo has got the looks, the build quality and the premium badge. What’s more, it’s attractively priced. With a compact hatchback segment dominated for so long by Japanese offerings, jaded buyers considering a dip into this end of the market should help see that the new Polo gets anything but a cool reception.
