Volkswagen Polo automatic
I am looking to purchase a new VW Polo, either diesel or petrol with an automatic transmission. I would also consider a used car, 1 or 2 years old with low mileage. Do you know of any garage in the UK who specialise in this niche market?

Not in Polo automatics, no. I'm afraid I'm not at all impressed with them, especially the 1.4 16v DSG. Horrible old engine. And an autobox that can hesitate when emerging from junctions, momentarily leaving you stranded in the middle of the road. In any case, an Ibiza DSG (preferably a 1.2TSI 105 DSG) is much better value.
