    The Polo's steering wheel is Made in Romania. I worked on them myself. The leather quality is indeed good but you don't know how they are repaired towards the end of the stitching. In Romania we were paid two pound per steering weel to stitch it in leather, and a worker did aproximately 10-12 per day. The thing is this type of steering wheel total manufacturing costs in Romania is about 50 pound, and VW sells it with 230 pound. Yeah, quality and prestige. There's no such thing as good quality with poor payment to the worker. Believe me, it may look as quality but it is what the workers were paid off.

      Trust me, almost 70% of the the romanians that come to UK for working are from the lowest sheet of the society in our country. The ones are those that you see on TV more of the time. The medium competent class from Romania that works in the Kingdom are well paid and you don't see them so often on news television.

    polo's are just very reliable.
    Hot or cold weather, they dont usually even need some type of warming up unlike many others in the street where i live.
    The only gripe i notice with golf's and polo's is the electrical system, its the one thing that can (if anything) get a lil wonky at times.. though not experienced it myself as of yet.
    Beyond that, reliable as hell.
    But no, not the most fun to drive perse.

    Was in the market for a not too expensive car this week and visited a few dealers including a VW and Ford dealer. Gave the Fiesta a fair chance and quite honestly I really disliked the car in the end. The interior was a downgrade from the Polo both design and quality wise but what really killed the Fiesta for me and made me dislike it is that low roofline that's directly in your view. The visibility was notably worse than the Polo's and the roof felt like it was pushing down on you and it had this cramped feeling which I hated. I also much prefered the looks of the Polo when seeing the cars in person plus it's a bit more practical. As far as I can tell the Fiesta's only real advantage is that it's a bit more sporty to drive (according to TH-cam, haven't driven it myself) but imo that's nowhere near enough to offset all its disadvantages compared to the Polo, not even close.
    In the end I liked the Polo the most of the cars I saw and ended up buying it. Will be able to pick it up in two weeks, the wait is real.
    This is just my opinion of course and you don't have to agree with me.
    Before anyone says that maybe small cars aren't for me as a reason for me disliking the Fiesta, I currently have a 1999 Nissan Micra which is even smaller yet it doesn't feel cramped and I enjoy sitting in it and driving it. Perhaps some might like the cramped feeling the Fiesta gives but it just wasn't for me.

      i never measured the seating high but the lack of head space as a driver that also brings the edge of the windscreen/roofline in your viewing area (beeing a rather average 1,83m) in the fiesta mk7 and mk8 always bewildered me too. also felt like sitting on the car and not in it. i never had that feeling even in a first gen ford ka or similar smaller cars. and a mazda 2 second gen that used the same underpinnings as the mk7 is also much better in this regard. nevertheless i still opted for a long term rental fiesta cause it was a very good deal and that problem is not present on the current car anymore. cant say if all facelifted mk8 use different seats now or if its just a feature of the st-line x trim. finally feels right though.

    Wouldn't it make sense to buy one of the similar cars which are much more competitively priced, have much longer warranties and lower cost of ownership even allowing for depreciation which actually tends to be low on cars with long warranties anyway. The 2 cars in this video actually seem like cars best avoided if you are looking for decent value and low running costs. I personally would never consider spending close to £20k on cars like these. Of the 2 I'd choose the Polo though because of the Ford's faster depreciation in the UK and also seems a lot of problems with Ford Eco-boost engines that is quite off-putting. I would also point out that having a nice dashboard and doors that make a pleasing solid noise when closed is not a true indicator of build quality. A car that is made to tight tolerances and has fantastic long term reliability not just within the warranty period is a true sign of fantastic build quality and something the Japanese generally do best hence why the cost of owning such cars is often much more lower than owning German cars nowadays.

    Hello, when pricing the Vee Dub did it include a sunroof because the Fiesta had one and the Polo didn't. That would add to the final price in this 'comparison'. Would the sunroof also make a difference in backseat headroom? Did the back windows of the Fiesta come all the way down? Did either car come with all the safety bells and whistles? Are they even available?

    Seat Ibiza. Ford's practicality is poor and would not really work as my only car. Great 2nd car. Quite expensive for a 2nd car. I don't like the Polo's looks. Very dull. Ibiza looks sharper and quality not that much worse. I had one as courtesy car and enjoyed it. Was sad to give it back. I like the destinctive sound of the little 1 litre 3 cylinder. Much more interesting than a 4 and smoother at higher revs. 4s get harsh when revved. 3s get loud but not unpleasant. I'd spec my Ibiza quite highly as the base model I had looked cheap inside as everything was grey. Not the case in models further up the range. VW should try harder to make it's cars look smarter and more interesting. The T Roc is more like it. Allow custom roof and stuff to make it stand out.
