The Polo Tango
The newest and fifth generation VW Polo was launched in October 2009 and shortly after its release it was named European Car of the Year 2010. In April 2010, the Polo added the accolade of World Car of the Year 2010 to its name. Volkswagen UK sold 45,282 Polo models last year, making 2010 the car’s best-selling year since 2003.
Volkswagen has been running a new television ad to promote the Polo; the Tango themed advertisements stars two of the world’s best dancers doing a sensational dance. The advert promotes the Polo as “Tough but beautiful”.
In order to promote the Polo VW is currently offering £500 off all new Polo models except the BlueMotion and GTI models. The entry-level Volkswagen Polo S 1.2-litre 60 PS three-door model costs just £9,495.
This offer applies to all Volkswagen Polo models purchased from stock through a Volkswagen UK Retailer and registered before 31st March 2011. The Polo comes with a good selection of engines, the entry level Polo comes with the 1.2 litre engine with either 59bhp or 69bhp. The 1.4 litre is more powerful and the 1.2 litre turbo equally impresses. The GTI comes with the turbocharged-supercharged engine. Diesel engines consist of a 1.2 litre power plant with 74bhp, the 1.6 litre come with 89bhp.
The Polo is a typical city car; it has very nimble steering and easy cornering abilities. Unlike sportier competitors the Polo doesn’t have a stiff suspension hence there is plenty of body roll. The Polo is set up more for comfort than performance. Because the latest generation has been around for a couple of years now there are plenty of used VW in Cardiff to choose from.
