VW Up 5dr (2012) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Pulman, 02 February 2012 10:00

This is the Volkswagen Up, a little city car we’ve been excited about ever since the first rear-engined and rear-wheel drive concept was unveiled in 2007. Alas a layout akin to the original people’s car (the Beetle) proved too expensive to develop in the 21st century, so the production car is standard urban runabout fare – i.e. front-engined and front-wheel ...

VW Polo 1.4 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 14 October 2009 12:23

The big news for the new VW Polo was the new 1.2 TSI, with a turbo to push its tiny four-pot to 104bhp. But that’s the range-topper. Volkswagen expects most buyers to opt for the piddling 59bhp naturally aspirated 1.2, closely followed by this better-nourished 84bhp 1.4. In five-door SE spec, the latter is yours for £12,450 – which will ...

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 Polo 1.2 TSI 5dr (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 11 May 2009 09:26

The new Volkswagen Polo could be one of two things: A) a shrunken Golf, which despite hardly changing from Mk5 to Mk6, still leads the mid-sized hatchback class as middle England’s favourite runabout. Or B) nothing more than a reskinned Seat Ibiza, which although well built, is hardly dynamically inspiring. Now we’ve driven the new VW Polo (2009), we can ...

VW Golf 1.4 TSI (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 08 September 2008 12:26

This is the first drive of VW’s new-but-same-again Mk6 Golf, a car brought forward from 2010 to 2008 to counteract slow sales and a costly and lengthy build process. But with only mildly revised looks inside and out, can the new VW Golf match the Ford Focus and Renault’s forthcoming Megane? Read on for our verdict on the Golf, and ...

VW Polo Bluemotion 1.4 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 03 June 2007 02:35

If 4Motion means four-wheel drive, what’s this Bluemotion all about? Nothing to do with four-wheel drive - or going fast. It’s Volkswagen’s ecological brand applied to the most efficient and economical models in each range, so probably should have been called Greenmotion. A Passat Bluemotion was unveiled at the Geneva show and other versions will follow. So how green, sorry, ...
