Drivers looking for a classy supermini look no further. The Volkswagen Polo seems to have it all: good looks, a high quality interior, plenty of space and sensible pricing. If it falls down in one area it's the driving experience, which just isn’t as much fun as with some of its supermini rivals. Economy in all versions is good, but for maximum fuel efficiency the BlueMotion is a highlight - it manages 80.7 miles on just one gallon of diesel, beating the cheaper Hyundai i20 for fuel economy. With its shrunken Volkswagen Golf looks and plentiful space you might want to try the Polo before opting for the Golf – unless you regularly carry four passengers, there really is very little to choose between them.
