New 2018 Volkswagen Polo - the best small car? | Top10s

This is the new Volkswagen Polo. For its sixth generation, the Polo has sharpened up with a wider, longer stance, smartened up with better infotainment tech, and is more practical than ever before. Does it have what it takes to compete with the new Ford Fiesta? And is it good enough to make you think twice about a new Golf? Take a look at the 10 things you need to know about the new Polo in my latest video!

Sitting in my 2014 Polo while I watch this video thinking "fuck I should've waited 4 more years".

All those people who bought current polo will be like

Interior looks really cool. Exterior style looks good too. But stop making everything bigger! You have a golf already. Cars don't need to keep getting bigger endlessly. It's ridiculous. Roads haven't got any wider.

When will VW sell it with an optional packet of polo's?

GTI looks sooo similar to the normal one...

[kakadots]

wow it's grown, it's like the size of the mk4 golf!

I love it! I went for a look and was really impressed with the highline. Then i saw the pricetag and almost choked. The only other one on the floor was the trendline - it was like a burger without the meat inside, you can technically still call it a burger, but the good stuff is not there. So the comfortline is probably the sweetspot, although a lot of the nice features are not standard, so it's still expensive for such a small (well not anymore really ey?) car.

Hi Dawie Pieterse, absolutely agree with you. I sat in the previous Polo GTI and was surprised how cramped it was. Some nice person had just shoved my last car in. I bought the Mark 7 Golf GTI as it is a genuine 4 seater for 6 ft plus folk. The thing with the Golf GTI, is that a lot of things came free. If you spec an ordinary Golf or the Polo GTI up to have all the extras, there was not much in it. The new Polo may now have more extras included. Pricing is a tricky thing because you don't wasn't taken for a mug. The base Golf GTI, with a decent discount was good value.

Finally a gorgeous looking golf that doesn't seem so dull looking !

[roochiecooch]

I wish they had these in the US. I like small practical cars and just wished they offered more upmarket options. This has that optional hardware I'd like and the GTI would be perfect for my likings. Either way, looks like a great little hatch.

Hey Mat! That video was shot in Bilbao! You can recognise the streets around the "Gran Vía" and "Mazarredo"! and you can see the map of "Barakaldo" when they explain the infotainment display! Amazing! Why didn't you say a word! We could have gone to have some "vinos" in "las siete calles"...
But the new Polo is a little bit of a refined new Ibiza. Isn't it?
Cheers, mate.

Definitely a cut above its predecessor, and certainly seems the best all rounder in its class!

[emersoncaicedo]

I love it! the style looks good imo. I wish they sold them here in the states. I'm buying a golf today but watching this video makes me wanna get a polo :(

[jonathanprescott]

I have a 2013 R-line polo and the thing I like the most about it, is how smart and understated it looks compared to its rivals. The interior could be classed as boring, but is of excellent quality and looks classy. If I wanted a tacky looking orange dash, I'd buy a Citroen

[iphonemanYT]

The Polo truly is one of the greatest cars out there. It looks nice, is practical all while being small enough to fit into most parking spaces. Love it!

[papavictorromeo]

These promo videos are so frustrating. They can drive in a city without other traffic. In reality we are stuck in a traffic jam.

[spacezeuzeu]

Love it. Can't wait to see it in person.

[JMNTN]

Wow finally a new polo but i liked the look of the previous more though
