UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Grateful for any advice. Ive had a skoda fabia 1400 16v for the past 4 years (its 8 years old now)> Not had a lot of probs with it but now engine is getting a bit lumpy despite servicing and well, I felt time for a change. Went to look at the new Fabia but I really dont like the shape like my old one.

Ive today seen a Polo Match 1.4 TDI at the local main dealer. Only 6 months old and 1k on clock (demonstrator). It seems a good price (£9k) and they are offering £1250 for my 8 year old fabia.

Can someone advise on the Polo as Ive never had one before. I used to drive the old VW Golfs which were about the same size (the new Golfs look huge). I only do about 8k a year - the car has the rest of the warranty and I was interested that the tax will only be £35 a year.

Is this a good car for me anyone please? Or should I carry on looking?

sounds good, if it ticks all the boxes for you then get it, i dont personally have a tdi but heard good things about those 1.4 ones and as a car the polo is great pritty much the same as the fabia you have chassis wise! any pics of the new one??

hI thanks Im dithering because some of the reviews havent been great. Im off now to test it on a fast road to see how noisy it is. Will report back

the 1.4 tdi is a nice car its not too fast and a bit noisy but its fast enuff. ive got the 1.9tdi it sounds nicer then the 1.4 cos the 1.4 is a 3 cylinder. if u want a car for speed then the 1.9 is better but otherwise the 1.4tdi is a very nice car .. my brother has the 1.4 tdi its a nice car go for it
