Polo 1.0 70ps eco drive 5spd 5dr Hatchback

Well built economic small car God for long journeys

This is a well built car that is reliable and drives well. I get excellent mpg by driving at 60 mpg on motorways, the mpg reduces considerably at 70 mph. I also maximise fuel saving by avoiding hard breaking and acceleration by having a god gap between the car in front. The acceleration at lower revs is not rapid but you get there all the same.
The downside is that impatient drivers continuously take the risk of overtaking on A Roads just to get one car ahead as they have better acceleration but the Polo can keep up with legal speeds on dual carriageways and motorways and will go beyond but I use the excellent cruise control to drive safely at the speed limit instead of racing to the next hold up.
The cruise control which monitors the car I fronts speed wouldbe useful.
The car came with a rear camera which makes paring easy and is a veryuseful extra.
This car is not recommended for boy racer type driving but most of the bone heads driving like that are trying to kill themselves in other vehicles with no care for others.
