1.2 (60 Hp) Verdict:

Rating 2 stars

Performance Verdict

A very basic engine, it struggles significantly outside of urban environments and feels sluggish even in city traffic.

Fuel Economy

Only efficient if driven very gently; otherwise, it can be surprisingly thirsty due to the need to constantly push it.

Best Use Case: Strictly city driving and for budget-conscious buyers who prioritize the lowest possible purchase price.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Excellent value for money, offering VW Group quality at a lower price point.
  • • Practical and spacious interior for a supermini, with good boot capacity.
  • • Wide range of efficient and capable engines, including modern TSI petrols and TDI diesels.
  • • Solid build quality and generally good reliability.
  • • Comfortable ride, especially on smaller wheels, making it suitable for longer journeys.

Cons:

  • • Interior plastics can feel a bit hard and uninspiring compared to some rivals.
  • • Some entry-level engines are underpowered, struggling outside of urban areas.
  • • Styling, even after the facelift, is quite conservative and lacks flair.
  • • Road noise can be noticeable at higher speeds, particularly on coarse surfaces.
  • • The ride can become firm on larger alloy wheels, impacting comfort.
