Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2009-14) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 12V 70 EU5 R LINE STYLE AC is a small, five-door petrol hatchback and a familiar choice in the UK’s popular supermini class. It combines Polo practicality with R Line-inspired styling, making this version feel a little sportier than a basic city car overall.
With five doors and a compact footprint, it suits town errands, commuting and family duties while remaining manageable for newer drivers. The 1.2-litre engine is best viewed as a straightforward option for routine journeys rather than motorway travel. It competes with Fiesta and Corsa, offering a tidy, reassuring driving feel.
