Polo test drive checklist

Consider what you want to test and think about what is important to you to explore and experience on your test drive.

  • Safety and the Polo go hand in hand. This is our safest Polo ever. Ask about the impressive 5-star NCAP safety system, the ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme) to the whiplash protection headrests. The Polo has Isofix child seat fittings on all models.
  • Low emissions could be a big concern of yours - ask about the clean and efficient engines of the Polo and especially the BlueMotion technologies now available on this model. The BlueMotion Polo can drive over 800 miles on one tank - unbelieveable.
  • The interior is full of great ergonomic design. The new Polo has a completely new redesigned interior. Try all the controls, they are easy to reach and simple to operate. The entertainment sound system is best tested with the doors shut and the windows up.
  • The exterior of the Polo has had a redesign to take on the more classic Volkswagen elements from the grille and body lines. Get a good look around this car from outside - it is tough but beautiful.
  • Performance in a small car? I think you will find test driving a Polo will surprise you. The Polo is very responsive and fun to drive and don't forget if you really like that, this Polo has a GTI model as well. The Polo has a vast range of engines and gearboxes and don't forget to ask about the efficient, cleaner, quieter, engines available.
    • Remember this test drive is for you to find the right car for you. Ask as many questions as you want, prepare them beforehand, but most of all enjoy the drive.
