Family car review: 2018 Volkswagen Polo
Read the full review: https://babydrive.com.au/reviews/hatc...
I tested the basic 2018 VW Polo and that's the car in the review video, I then got the opportunity to test the 2019 VW Polo GTI and make the Top 3 family-friendly features video. The GTI is definitely a sporty little car but how practical are both models as a BabyDrive?! Let's find out ...
The latest VW Polo is still an agile little car that has retained that sense of fun and freedom, the GTI is very nippy and corners really well. I am sure the VW Polo was not designed specifically to be a family car but I want to test just how practical or not it is!
Interior space is a consideration in the VW Polo, the rear seats are comfy with two adult passengers, or I found I could definitely only install two child seats in the back, in the two outer seats. There are ISOFix in the two outer seats, they are within plastic guides and are nice and easy to connect to. There are top tethers in the back of all three backrests, they are also within plastic guides and nice and easy to connect to.
Storage is minimal in the VW Polo, there are the two babycino holders in the centre console and a small well in front of the gear lever that's good for your phone, there is no glasses case and the glove box is small. The door bins would hold a large refillable water bottle which was good.
The boot space is quite limited, in the basic version it is better because the boot floor has two levels, so when in the lower position, it made storage better but the GTI model did not have the option to lower the boot floor.It would fit eight shopping bags when empty, that's two less than the VW Golf GTI. With the parcel shelf removed the tandem, twin or single stroller fitted in the boot, as will a small dog.
