I had a couple of business meetings close to home today, 20 minutes, so was an ideal test. I took the Polo even though I have an all optioned up Q5 in the garage on loan from Audi who have mine AGAIN. I got it home, put it in the garage and took the Polo, didn't like the Q5 at all, just not my sort of car at all. I'm now getting use to the Polo and it's a nice little car. It's not a pocket rocket like the last Clio Sport thing I drove, much more grown up and much closer in feel to a bigger car, which is what I wanted really. Small on road, but big inside feeling with good sound dampening. It's on this front the VW's are above the Fords and their ilk in my view. Ford plastics are no worse, it's just a noisier car in my opinion and the ergonomics for me are nicer in the VW.
