With the next model scheduled to debut at the Geneva
With the next model scheduled to debut at the Geneva motor show later on this
year, I wonder what well China Chiller
Manufacturers say its contribution to the Polo legacy has been.
Thats not to say that its been an entirely plush ride either: the engineers from Wolfsburg seemingly ignored some of basic principles of automotive design and construction when they built their third sub-compact car, however todays Polo stands testament to both the successes the marque has enjoyed, and also to those failings suffered over the course of its lifetime. Since the MkIII, Polos have been reliable and well built. Even with my youthful exuberance, I found it hard to find merit in the car. I on the other hand, am more likely to mention the cramped interior or the sluggish 1100cc engine. Since the G40, Polos have been quick.
One thing is for sure though, right now, with a new version on the horizon, there are some exceptional deals to be had throughout the current Polo range. From humble beginnings, the current Polo has evolved into a sophisticated and distinguished car.
The MkII G40 I mentioned earlier displaced just 1300cc but generated 115bhp. And they kinda over compensated. From the woeful build quality of the cars first off the production line, to the exhilaration of the record-breaking, supercharged MkII G40 variant; the current car really does feel like it has learned from every lesson. It reached 62mph in an impressive 8. Legend has it, marketing chiefs at Volkswagen chose the name Polo because, like Golf, it is a sport widely associated with a social upper-class; and while the original Mk1 Polo may have looked up rather than lived up to those lofty connotations, I can happily inform you that the opposite is in fact true of the current model. With a 1. Volkswagens Polo.
Cue the Polo. Most people, when asked to recall their first driving experience, talk of the liberty and exhilaration of the experience.. I once installed aftermarket door speakers in a modern Japanese supermini, and the door cards were made of pressed plastic and behind them the door panel itself was made of what appeared to be wafer-thin tin. I did the same to my Polo GTi manufactured in the same year, and the corresponding door card was made out of a super-dense fibreboard with a plastic and fabric external covering and a medium-density foam internal filling to act as a sound dampener.4l diesel engine which returns up to 72mpg while outputting just 99 grams of CO2, its certainly possible. I drove figure-eights in a good friends field and in spite of the fact that under my command the universal joint on the steering column failed, we remain friends to this day. Bear in mind these are the observations of a fifteen year old!
But each time the Polo had a makeover or a revision, the same Volkswagen engineers that had fumbled the ball during the cars initial production, found ways to make up for their miscalculations. Will we say since the MkIV, Polos have been economical and environmentally responsible? The Polo BlueMotion would have it so.
And now were on the MkIV, which is in fact approaching the end of its production cycle.
My first ever experience of driving a Air-Cooled Condenser Suppliers car was in a first-generation Polo.
I dont mean to imply that the new Polo has suddenly appeared, well-built and sophisticated, after so many years of mediocrity within an oversaturated market. When the air-cooled engine of the beetle became superseded by more modern, water-cooled powerplants, and when the Golf began to grow bloated and put on weight with each successive iteration, the engineers at VW found themselves once again with a supermini-shaped hole and without a supermini-shaped peg to plug it with.
The MkIIIF had an entirely galvanised body and chassis mated with an over-engineered electrics and engine management system.1 seconds and could achieve a top speed of 122mph. Theres something just that little bit special about it.. Those clever men and women behind such iconic and era defining vehicles as the Beetle and the Golf GTi certainly have a knack for making compact cars. Rather, the car before us today is the product of those many years devoted to refining the original car
