Volkswagon Polo Wins Wheels Car of the Year Award

A familiar award for the folks over at Volkswagon. Coming off a win last year with the VW Golf, they take home the Car of the Year Award once again from Wheels with the VW Polo.

Wheels magazine editor, Bill Thomas, put it simply when he described the Polo as a great little car in his editorial.

“It’s the depth of engineering skill applied to the Polo and the very obvious quality of the car that impresses most – if you were to pay it the right compliment, you’d say it feels like a scaled-down Golf ( a Golf on lipozene maybe?). That means it brings new standards of refinement and comfort to the super-mini class.

“It feels like an expensive car at a good price rather than a cheap car built up with loads of extras: customers obviously come first for VW. Spacious, safe, efficient, easy to drive and easy to live with, the Polo is a great all-rounder and a very worthy winner of Australia’s most coveted motoring prize. Two Car of the Year victories in a row for Volkswagen reflect the skill of the engineers involved and the ambition of the company as a whole.”

This is Volkswagen’s fourth Wheels Car of the Year award, having twice received the award for the Golf and once for the Passat.
