I haven’t been able to talk to the owner, they just did a drop off and left but it is a manual, it is German spec and It is absolutely wonderful. I want it.

Forbidden fruit, or faraway hills are greener?

A Polo isn’t really very exciting. It is one of VW’s best sellers though.

It's exciting because we don't get them, it kinda makes you do a double take when it pulls in.

Take it for a BS “oil check test drive” for an excuse to try it out.

One of the more common and generic cars here. A friend of mine has one just like it. It’s, well, a car. While looking for 2001-2005 Polos on just one website, with a radius of less than 10 miles around me, I found 17 for sale.

What kind of engine does that Polo have? 1.2, 1.2 12V, 1.4 16V 75, 1.4 16V 100, 1.4 16V FSI, 1.9 SDI, 1.4 TDI or 1.9 TDI?

Okay, so the question is how is this in the states? That Gen Polo doesn’t qualify for the 25 year rule does it?

Everybody oohing and aahing over this: it’s a micro hatch from VW. It’s not fast, comfortable, sporty. It’s a penalty box. I’ve been in plenty of them and hated each one. Though there was a Polo GTI that was kinda cool.

It’s just a subcompact, and a decent one at that. Nothing micro about it, I’ve been in a few as well. It’s been/being used as a family car by millions . It’s just a very decent commuter car, nothing more, nothing less.

True. I guess I’m trying to fend off the inevitable “bring it to the US!” rhetoric that will appear

It looks like it murdered a W203 E-Class and now wears the E-Class’ headlights as a trophy

This particular one is the family hauler for them. 2 car seats back there.

Haha, OK. Just ask for a test drive then.

Ok, that makes sense. Especially given that this is tagged in Va that seems wholely possible.
