Yaris 1.0 CDX Or Polo 1.4 Match - Toyota Yaris Forums

Except over here in the UK, Yaris has a reputation of being a bit camp or driven by old people.

Besides, my mate works for VW so can get me discount on bits.

I did a for and against chart last night for each and asides from costing more on insurance, couldn't find anything wrong with a Polo. Up to 2002, Polo's were still reliable - it's the 2002-2007 models that have started being a bit shite. Ive never had a problem with my 1997 1.0L asides from a missfire.

Yaris on the other hand are bit less sturdy in the bends (I understand they fixed this on the 07 model, but I can't afford one of those.) Dont feel as sturdily built (they probably are, but they dont feel it) and costs £500 more in the first place.

And granted, it's only a car to get me pretty much to and from work, but why have a fairly camp CDX when I can get a Polo for a bit less.

Both cars have the same amount of options and both are 5 doors. Yaris has higher MPG, but Polo's still high at 44.

I asked the same question on Polo forums and obviously, they said Polo.

Yaris was a very close contender in my choice and Ive tried to factor everything in, but Id just rather have a Polo I think. If insurance on the Polo was about £400 dearer than it likely will be, Id pick a Yaris hands down.

But at this point, Ill be getting a Polo. Only thing I haven't entirely factored in is actual reliability (I know they both are, but I don't know what common faults are,) but I have a feeling it'll still be a close call.
