The new, fifth-generation Polo first appeared at the 2009 Geneva motorshow and as a 5-door it goes on sale in the UK on 16th October. As is the norm, the all-new model is larger than the Polo it replaces (and bigger than early Golfs) but it’s also lighter, safer, roomier and 20% better on fuel.

The basic on-the-road price for this 70PS 1.2 5-door manual is £11,995. Standard equipment includes semi-auto air conditioning, electric/heated mirrors, electric windows front and rear, plus a radio/MP3-compatible CD player with six speakers, an aux-in socket for your iPod, plus the aforementioned ESP which rarely comes as standard in the supermini class. Fuel economy is 51.4mpg combined, while CO2 is rated at 128g/km, which currently equates to £120 annual road tax. Insurance is a lowly group 3 (on the 1-20 scale) or 5 (1-50). Costs aside, if you want a small car that feels like a biggun, then this new Polo could well be for you.
