Volkswagen Polo 2017

FROM

$7,590

The 2017 Volkswagen Polo range of configurations is currently priced from $4,999.

Our most recent review of the 2017 Volkswagen Polo resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: The Polo Beats is based on the pick of the Polos and adds cool touches like the darkened taillights, the quilted upholstery and that great sound system. If you’re a soldier in the Beats army you’ll probably love the ‘b’ branding – keep in mind though that any future children will sneer at it the same way you did at the thought of a Golf Bon Jovi... but what would they know?

Volkswagen Polo 2017 FAQs

What would be the cost of replacing a gearbox pressure plate in a 2017 VW Polo?

Even though your car has no clutch pedal, its transmission is what’s called a DSG, or dual-clutch, which means it’s actually a conventional manual gearbox where a computer controls the clutch operation. That’s why it drives like an automatic yet still has a clutch assembly, part of which is the clutch pressure plate, or multiple plates in the VW’s case.

Replacing this will require the transmission to be removed, so it’s not a small or simple job. Which also means it won’t be cheap, either. The problem is that digging into a DSG transmission often reveals wear in other areas, and you might find it needs more than just a clutch late at the mileage you’ve covered.

A VW or transmission specialist should be able to do an electronic analysis of the transmission and its general health to help you make an informed decision on which way to go.

What is the durability and re-sale value of a used car?

In terms of life expectancy and durability I would expect both to be about the same, but I would expect the Polo to have slightly better resale value than the Clio. Both are good cars, but I would choose the Renault because of its longer warranty.

What's a safe first car?

I wouldn't recommend the Polo, it requires the more expensive Premium unleaded, it's got the dual-clutch auto, which can be troublesome, and it will be more expensive to service. The Mazda 2 or the Toyota Yaris are better choices.
