The Truth About Cars have published a review of the 2011 VW Polo 1.2 TSI. 'Just like the previous Polo, the fifth-gen Polo pushes the interior quality bar further up the scale. Whether this interior is the best in B-segment territory depends on your definition of best: there's little doubt that this is the most 'big-car' interior in the class, but there's also no avoiding the feeling that it's just a little dull and expected. Many - if not most - knobs and controls come straight from the Golf, and seeing as Volkswagen has seemingly unlimited access to that soft-touch material mine, there's acres of that too. Everything you touch or move - from the door knob to the gear lever - feels like German engineers have spent sleepless nights perfecting its pitch, sound and feel. If you really choose to nitpick, there are harder-than-expected plastics in the door area.'
