VW Polo GTI (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 02 September 2010 11:20

If you don’t love the Volkswagen Golf GTI, then at the very least you’ll probably begrudgingly respect its brilliant mix of great build quality, a good engine and everyday usability. But the latest Mk6 Golf GTI is just a little too rounded and refined, so what about something from the class below? Step forward VW’s new Polo GTI, with a ...

VW Polo 1.2 TDI Bluemotion (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Phil McNamara, 18 May 2009 16:29

Europe’s greenest car will be blue. Volkswagen’s Polo Bluemotion, which goes on sale in May 2010, will exhale just 87g of carbon dioxide for every kilometre you drive, and return up to 85.6mpg. That’s cleaner than the Pope’s freshly laundered robes,  and makes the saintly Toyota Prius and Honda Insight hybrids – both the wrong side of 100g/km – look ...

VW Sharan Bluemotion/Seat Alhambra Ecomotive (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

It’s taken Volkswagen and Seat a while to trickle down their respective environment-focused Bluemotion and Ecomotive badges to their large MPVs, the Sharan and Alhambra. That tells you all you need to know about the pecking order at VAG. The truth is that in their current guise these are two cars approaching the automotive equivalent of the old folks’ home. ...

VW GX3 concept (2006) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

What planet’s this from? It looks like a mash up between a Lotus Elise, Ariel Atom and Reliant Robin… This is Volkswagen’s GX3 – a minimalist three wheeler that combines a superbike’s blistering acceleration with a sports car’s flat-out cornering ability. And after a world exclusive drive in the Austrian Alps, I can reveal that no other motor vehicle tagged ...

VW Eos 2.0T (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 31 July 2006 10:36

A drop top VW - how desirable. I take it the people's convertible is back? Yes and no. True, the Eos is from the people's car maker and it effectively replaces the old Golf cabriolet. But that was a no frills soft top, so archaic it needed a big basket handle over the passenger compartment, to boost rigidity and hold up ...
