Volkswagen Polo 2017
Carsguide Senior Journalist Richard 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.

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.

Volkswagen Polo 2017: What are the common issues with the 81TSI?
The zippy performance and handling is one of the great attractions of the Polo, it handles like a go-kart. The boot is small with the seats up, but it’s a small car and something you really have to live with. By buying a manual you avoid the issues that have plagued the DSG dual-clutch auto. The 1.2-litre engine has a timing belt, which means it needs to be changed every 105,000 km or seven years, whichever comes first.
