Auto Express have published their "test driven" review of the new Volkswagen Polo. 'The Polo bears a striking resemblance to a shrunken Golf, and it is longer, wider and lower than the model it replaces. That means head, shoulder and legroom are improved all round, as well boot capacity. This is now 280 litres, or 952 litres with the rear seats folded flat - only a few square centimetres short of those of the larger-proportioned Fiesta. But despite the added practicality, engineers have reduced the car's kerbweight by nearly eight per cent - part of the reason the new Polo delivers up to 20 per cent fuel savings across the board.
