Bought the car new in 2012 and have done around 40000 kms. It has one of the most responsive engines I have driven but the interior could do with a little more. The back seat is a little cramped but ok for medium height to short people. The second best feature after the engine is the safety, since I got T Boned by a Micra and only minor injuries. If Volkswagen would have launched a new version of the Polo would definitely buy another one.
