VW Polo Interior 

The VW Polo is a comfortable mini hatchback with a well designed interior that is similar in layout to the Golf. At the first row, there’s enough legroom for both driver and passenger. At the second, the legroom is sufficient for average people but tall people will find it tight.

VW Polo Maintenance Costs in Kenya

Service parts for the Polo are fairly priced and shared with the Golf. Body parts on the other hand are expensive and mostly available in Nairobi. You can get listings for the shops that sell VW Spares in this link.

VW Polo Reliability

The VW Polo is not as forgiving on poor maintenance as some of its Japanese rivals. The DSG gearbox has elaborate maintenance procedures and it should only be serviced by a qualified technician. It also requires an expensive transmission fluid with dedicated additives. Anything short of proper maintenance is catastrophic.
