General comments?
I passed my driving test in June 2005 and inherited my parent's old 1999 VW Polo runabout which as they both have their own cars it was hardly used so only had 30,000 on clock in 6 years. In November I was fortunate enough to be bought a brand-new facelifted 2005 VW Polo SE in gleaming black, I absolutely love this car, the quality is better than that of any similar supermini and it is incredibly fun to drive, so much for the staid VW driving experience of the past. The quality of the materials and the almost silent petrol engine, it's so fun to put your foot down just to hear a little raaawww! out of the car. I love the Polo's image, I'm in upper Sixth-Form and it certainly stands out from the 106s, Fiestas and Corsas in the student car park, the VW badge holds so much quality and respect I simply adore my car and will keep it for years to come.
