Which is the best Polo engine?
We think the best Polo is a combination of the entry-level Life trim and the 1. TSI 95 engine. That keeps the price down but still gives you plenty of power and standard equipment. On the move, the motor is eager. It’s easy to get carried away at times as the Polo GT TSI has a certain enchantment that brings out the bad boy in you. With a free-revving engine that’s quick to throttle response and a good surge of power, it all comes together to assert what that GT badge manifests.
Why is the Polo car so popular?
The current Polo is the biggest and best to drive yet, so while it remains a small car, it’s far from overshadowed by VW’s incredibly popular family car. Add to that a classy, roomy interior and a range of petrol engines to choose from, and it’s hardly surprising that it’s a huge seller in its own right. For those purchasing, the A1 is pricier than the VW Polo, so this may put many buyers off. However, what’s clear is there’s little to choose between the two and if you’re looking for a new car, either will provide you with reliability, high performance levels and a quality interior.
