Drivers looking for a classy supermini look no further. The Volkswagen Polo seems to have it all: good looks, a high quality interior, plenty of space and sensible pricing. If it falls down in one area it's the driving experience, which
just isn't as much fun as with some of its supermini rivals. Economy in all versions is good, but for maximum fuel efficiency the BlueMotion is a highlight - it manages 80.7 miles on just one gallon of diesel. With its shrunken Golf looks and plentiful space you might want to try the Polo before opting for the Golf -- unless you regularly carry four passengers, there really is very little to choose between them.

Volkswagen Polo GTI review - CarBuyer
Full review at: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/volkswagen/polo/gti-hatchback/review
Climb inside the Volkswagen Polo GTI and you could easily mistake it for a Golf GTI, such is the upmarket feel of the cabin. Build quality is exceptionally high for a supermini and the cockpit is loaded with technology. Mounted on the back of the steering wheel, twin paddles operate the seven-speed dual clutch gearbox and VW's clever traction control system sorts out the handling in sharp corners. The Polo GTI is a very desirable supermini but shares it's running gear with the cheaper Skoda Fabia vRS and SEAT Ibiza CUPRA, both offering similar specifications for less money. Under the bonnet the Polo GTI has a 1.4 TSI litre petrol engine which is both supercharged and turbocharged helping to provide impressive pace across the rev range without harming fuel consumption. Producing 178bhp, it catapults the Polo GTI from 0-62mph in a brisk 6.9 seconds.

Suzuki Swift review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/suzuki/swift/hatchback/review
Although it doesn't wear a popular badge like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo, the Suzuki Swift is a brilliant choice and one of the cheapest cars in this class. Only a 1.2-litre petrol engine is available, but it offers enough power for city driving as well as impressive fuel economy. A more efficient diesel engine, will be available in the spring of 2011. Front and rear passengers have plenty of space, but the boot is only really big enough for the weekly shopping.

Ford Fiesta review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/ford/fiesta/hatchback/video
Ford's latest Fiesta ushered in a brand new look for Ford when it was launched in 2008. Its sharp, contemporary design made it an instant hit, but this car's popularity is also born out of brilliant way it drives - and Ford's reputation for low running costs. Our only real criticism is with space offered by the rear seats, and cramped luggage area - which lacks the versatility of rivals like the Corsa. The list of three- and five-door variants available is extensive. Entry-level models are called Studio or Edge, while Zetec, Zetec S and Sport+ are a little sportier, and the Titanium trim represents a little more luxury and equipment. ECOnetic versions are the most economical.
VW Beetle review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/volkswagen/new-beetle/hatchback/review
The Volkswagen Beetle is a stylish hatchback that mixes modern mechanical parts with a look inspired by the big-selling original from the sixties. It's only offered as a three-door model and comes in standard, Design and top-spec Sport trims. There are two petrol engines available -- a 1.2-litre turbo and a 1.4-litre with turbo and Supercharger. The Beetle shares its mechanical components with the Volkswagen Golf hatchback, but has a more flamboyant look.

2010 Volkswagen Polo TSI Start-Up and Full Vehicle Tour
Got the chance to film this Polo TSI at the VW showroom in Penang the other day. It's a pretty nice car, very good power, the brakes are pretty strong as well. This variant of the Polo was only recently introduced in Malaysia in the last couple of months. It retails for RM108,888. This Polo, bearing the name TSI like the Golf, however only makes do with a turbocharged engine, rather than both turbo and supercharged like the Golf.
P.S., Sorry if I went a little too fast in the video, it was slightly drizzling and I didn't want to keep the salesperson waiting for too long as I didn't know them that well yet.
VW Polo GTI v Skoda Fabia vRS v SEAT Ibiza Cupra review - Auto Express.
Full review: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/videos/featuresvideos/261232/vw_polo_gti_vs_seat_ibiza_cupra_and_skoda_fabia_vrs.html
The Volkswagen Polo GTI is a very impressive car. It can do fast and furious but will also do comfy and relaxing if you like. Really, it's just like a Golf GTI in miniature. However, for a supermini hot hatch it does feel a little bit too sensible. As a driver's machine it's not as playful or as fun as a MINI Cooper S or Renaultsport Clio Cup. Plus, being priced over £18,000 makes it rather expensive.
Volkswagen Polo Hatchback - What Car?
Read the What Car? Volkswagen Polo review http://bit.ly/wBr2B6
The Volkswagen Polo combines a comfortable ride with secure handling and it's one of the classiest superminis around. Most versions are well priced.
The entry-level VW Polo models get underpowered and noisy 1.2-litre petrol engines. A Ford Fiesta is much more fun to drive.
Volkswagen Polo isn't as much fun to drive as some supermini rivals, but few are as desirable. It's also affordable to buy and run, and should hold its value well.

Volkswagen Golf review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/volkswagen/golf/hatchback/video
The Volkswagen Golf is a classy and well-built rival to the Ford Focus. Its neat interior, class leading refinement and smart looks cement its place as one of the most desirable cars in its class. The extensive model range gives choice for all budgets, the TSI petrol engines being smooth and the turbodiesels being strong on economy. The GTI and R models are sporting models that compete with the likes of the Ford Focus ST and RS, but neither is cheap.
Refinement is high on the Golf's agenda -- and from the driver's seat, it's as quiet as a luxury car. That raises it above rivals like the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra for outright comfort. Built quality is first rate across the entire range, from the entry S models right up to the enjoyable GTI and R range-toppers. Smaller TSI petrol engines deliver above expectations, TDI diesels offer punchy performance and excellent economy, while the clever DSG automatic gearbox option is smooth and easy to operate.

The all-new Toyota Yaris is the Japanese maker's entrant into the higly-contested supermini segment. Aimed directly at the Ford Fiesta and Honda Jazz, the new Yaris represents a significant improvement over its predecessor, offering an impressive range of innovative equipment and more interior space.
Ford Fiesta 2013 review - Carbuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/ford/fiesta/hatchback/review
The Ford Fiesta has just received the company's latest look, featuring an Aston Martin-influenced front grille. The Fiesta has been the bestselling car in the UK since 2008, and its popularity is down to a frankly brilliant drive and below-average running costs. Our only criticism is the limited space in the back and cramped luggage area, which means it lacks the versatility of its rivals. The list of versions is extensive - entry-level models are called Studio and Style, while Zetec and Zetec S get a little sportier. Titanium is luxurious, while Titanium X tops the range. ECOnetic models are the most frugal and eco-conscious. A performance-focused Ford Fiesta ST is due in spring 2013.

Volkswagen Jetta review - CarBuyer
Read CarBuyer's full Volkswagen Jetta review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/volkswagen/jetta/saloon/review
The latest Volkswagen Jetta shares its looks with the larger Volkswagen Passat, as VW tries to distance its compact saloon from the Golf that it shares many of its components with.
The latest model has a longer wheelbase than the Volkswagen Golf, so there's more cabin space, while the car looks smarter, thanks to a shorter rear overhang for the saloon boot. As with the rest of the VW range, the Jetta is built to a high standard from high quality materials. Engines include the firm's 1.4 TSI petrol, plus 1.6 and 2.0-litre TDI diesels. The 1.6 TDI is also offered with VW's BlueMotion Technology pack, which saves fuel by turning the engine off when the car is in neutral.
VW Scirocco review - CarBuyer
Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/volkswagen/scirocco/coupe/review
Based heavily on the suspension and chassis that underpin the new Volkswagen Golf, the Scirocco is an exciting to drive coupé that competes with the likes of the Renault Megane Coupé and sporty Audi S3.
