Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The VOLKSWAGEN POLO (2009-14) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V 85 EU5 MATCH EDITION is a five-door hatchback with a more refined feel than many city cars, while remaining easy to park and live with. It sits among the UK’s popular superminis, competing with the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Toyota Yaris.

Its 1.4-litre petrol engine provides straightforward performance for commuting, errands and occasional longer trips. The five-door layout suits couples, small families and first-time drivers needing useful rear access without a bulky car. Match Edition trim adds useful equipment, while the Polo’s cabin and reassuring road manners help explain its reputation.
