Test drive the new Volkswagen POLO

A young man with limited income to get the premise within the scope of driving pleasure how to do? You may have several options, but the latest of a selection from the new Volkswagen Polo, which in the end the kind of appeal that made it yet listed on 13,000 orders received? Let me take you to find out it on the mountain of Sardinia.
Since 1975, the first generation off the assembly line production until the fourth generation Polo Polo made brilliant sales, Polo in the reliability and competitiveness of our competitors have never been to the show too weak, but in some hard test indicators, such as testing and emergency Slalom lane change test, which always triumphed so totally different from a little bit.

Now, the German giant has an opportunity to turn around. March 2009, at the Geneva Motor Show Volkswagen released the new fifth-generation Polo. The car used car has never been used in the mass of the new chassis systems, suspension and engine assembly, the new equipment has been put into operation in the present Seat Ibiza and Skoda fabia use (three cars combined share a platform), the latter two of market feedback is quite good.
Volkswagen Polo executives have made clear that they will be A0-Class flagship product, is the best interpretation of the concept of the level of the car. From this point the body is full of the latest generation Polo Golf element we can see, obviously, Polo's manufacturers are knowingly. Volkswagen Polo family of new generation has the typical appearance. First, the appearance of seven or eight into the car from the Golf's design to retain the overall shape of a more approachable personality. Appearance with the most simple and even a bit dull combination of lines and geometry, but also successfully achieved both legacy and next-generation Polo style skin effect, more driving dynamics.
Than its predecessor generation Polo length 36 mm, 3952 mm in length but still in the small car range. The car's wheelbase is slightly longer, the width direction is also increased by 32 mm, but the height is reduced by 13 mm. In addition, the increase in the internal space is to be done. For a good small family car, the trunk volume is essential, the new generation Polo has a large enough trunk - 280 liters, under the rear seat is turned up 952 liters. Although the new generation Polo's larger dimensions, lighter weight than the older generation of 2%, equivalent to 20 kilograms. In fact, the basic structure of the body to reduce by 7.5%, but the additional weight of equipment and security agencies to offset some of these.
The car's interior design is also a popular style, and are new. Fine degree of quality and workmanship of high demand, and once again the public pursuit of quality to a new limit. If more think of the new generation who have seven or eight percent Polo Golf design elements, you will better understand.

The new generation Polo will have six engines to choose from: Four gasoline engine, two diesel engines, have reached the Euro 5 emission standards. The smallest displacement gasoline engine of 1.2 liter 3 cylinder, 59 horsepower or 69 can provide horsepower. Pursuit of greater power driver you can choose 84-horsepower 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. However, gasoline engines in the crowd is small but powerful 1.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, 5000 rpm / min speed can be up to 103 horsepower; Another impressive figure is the peak torque the engine speed 1500 r / min to 3500 rev / min range, up to 175 Nm. Even more exciting is the 7-speed DSG (dual clutch transmission) will be in the 1.2-liter TSI version appears on a single purchase.
The new 1.6-liter common rail diesel engine provides 74 horsepower or 89 horsepower. Both engines of carbon dioxide emissions of only 109 g / km, road conditions in the mixed fuel consumption of only one hundred kilometers amazing 4.2 liters. So do not doubt the general public overwhelming publicity Polo engine fuel economy improvement on the 20% of the amount.

A new generation of Polo and Golf are also on the feeling is very similar, if over two oncoming vehicles, really difficult to distinguish. But people are more concerned about it to the consumer whether the specific driving experience is consistent with the Golf, there is such an important issue: the new generation Polo's driving performance to beat the new Carnival it? Unfortunately, the answer to the question of the problem is far less simple. As you get this car Polo, you can not help but think of the Golf. Equally impressive precision mechanical properties, the same soft smooth driving performance, the same tough and stable driving experience, the normal speed when driving into the car stable and accurate sense of control and the top of the transmission system to give you feedback perfect. Only when you speed up the throttle, the car will become a little soft features burden. Beating and the body has a slight tilt, especially about the direction of the roll, understeer also became clear that these are not the carnival. By contrast, the performance of the carnival is more "skinny" action short, more dynamic, better damping effect.
The question arises, whether a new generation of P010 to capture young people by driving pleasure, "money", the problem we have returned to their parents, because most of the money to buy a car will be sponsored by their parents to pay, therefore, more refined interior, better comfort and more fuel-efficient new generation PoIo should take even greater advantage. As for Carnival, and other young people who really make their own decisions when buying a car, had more than their age to enjoy a dynamic driving pleasure.
