**A Comprehensive Review of the Volkswagen Polo: Practicality and Features**
The Volkswagen Polo continues to impress as one of the most grown-up cars in its class. While it may not boast the largest boot in terms of overall capacity, it certainly stands out as one of the most well-thought-out and feature-packed options available. Even the entry-level model offers an adjustable boot floor, which is a practical addition for drivers who need flexibility in their storage solutions.
When the adjustable boot floor is in place, there’s no load lip to lift heavy items over—a convenient feature when unloading heavier objects. This design allows the floor to sit neatly at the bottom of the boot, making it easier to access and store items. Additionally, the boot includes a couple of small hooks for securing smaller items, adding to its functionality. Under the actual floor, there’s a full-size spare wheel and tool kit, ensuring you’re prepared for any roadside emergencies.
The Polo’s boot offers a volume of 280 liters, which increases to an impressive 950 liters when the rear seats are folded down. These numbers translate into practicality, as the Polo can accommodate a variety of items in its boot. However, the width of the space limits the fit of larger objects like golf clubs when all seats are occupied. With the rear seats in place, there’s room for one big suitcase and one small suitcase, with enough space left for a soft bag to squeeze beside them.
When the rear seats are split and folded down, the fully flat floor provides ample space for carrying larger items like a bike—provided the front wheel is detached. In two-seat mode, the Polo can fit a TV box, two smaller boxes, a large suitcase, and a small suitcase, with some extra room left over for additional soft bags or items.
While the boot and overall storage solutions are commendable, the rear seat space leaves a bit to be desired. The Polo’s interior lacks significant headroom and legroom, making it less comfortable for taller individuals—those over 6 feet tall may find it challenging to stretch out. Additionally, fitting three passengers in the backseat results in a cramped experience compared to competitors like the Vauxhall or Corsa.
Families with young children might find the Isofix points hidden behind the seatbacks to be a minor inconvenience, as they require more effort to fit child seats than usual. However, the five-door Polo compensates for this with rear doors that open wide enough to make seating and exiting easier for all passengers.
The Volkswagen Polo shines in other areas, particularly when it comes to storage solutions. The glove box is unusually spacious, easily accommodating a 1.5-liter bottle of water and a 1-liter bottle alongside smaller items. There are also handy coin slots within the glove box for storing loose change. Front door bins are large enough to be practical, though the back door bins on five-door models are too narrow to hold even a single drinks can.
Despite this limitation, there’s still one cup holder located between the front seats for rear passengers, and the driver and front passenger each have their own cup holders positioned just ahead of the gear lever. Overall, while the Polo may not excel in every area, it remains a solid choice for storing items and luggage.
In summary, the Volkswagen Polo is a practical and well-designed vehicle that offers a balance of space, features, and functionality. While its rear seat comfort and space limitations are areas where it could improve, its innovative boot design and thoughtful storage solutions make it a strong contender in its class.
