go on www.parkers.co.uk you can compare all the specs and look at the insurance groups as well. my old polo was a 1.4, wasnt too bad really. 1st polo i drove was my mums 1.4 automatic that was a joke

Depends on how you drive it and what u mod on the engine

Mine could take on and beat a 1.6 mk4 with just a camshaft from a Polo mk3 GT and cold-air induction with higher fuel pressure I always laughed my arse off when I saw those surprised faces when they couldn't keep up

another one standing up for the 1.3 here too. i liked mine.

there are 2 models of the 1.0, earlier (1.5) had 45bhp while later (995cc) had 50bhp. The 1.3 has 55bhp.

look at the 1.3 go wit a woopin 50bhp lmao

the 1.3 aint too terrible on pull off as it goes its jus top end really

I'd have thought you'd be better off getting a 1 litre purely because you can get a newer model with less miles on it. unless I'm mistaken it's only the early mk4s that had 1.3 engines in them?

all true, but, conversely, he could probably pick up a 1.3 for less money
