VW Polos engine is a cracker

16 October 2009
Motorists who always opt for either new or used Volkswagen models may decide to take the latest addition to the manufacturer's range for a test drive after hearing the comments of TV personality.

In an article for the Mirror, Richard Hammond described the engine of the updated Polo as "really rather a cracker".

The Top Gear host took the Moda edition of the auto for a spin - which is the second cheapest version of the five-door vehicle.

He suggested this particular variation of the car is probably aimed at younger drivers - as it comes with fog lamps, smart alloys and rear privacy glass as standard.

Other than this, Hammond stated the auto has just the basic equipment.

He pointed out the car has a three-cylinder, 1.2-litre engine that offers a modest 60 bhp but - despite its size - he claimed the unit is quite impressive.

First UK deliveries of the new Volkswagen Polo are scheduled for today (October 16th).
