Is a Volkswagen Polo a reliable car?

I'm in the market for a new car and have my eyes on a Volkswagen Polo. However, I've heard mixed opinions about its reliability. Should I go for it or look at other options?

I've been driving a Volkswagen Polo for the past 5 years and haven't had any major issues with it. As long as you regularly maintain it and follow the suggested service schedule, it should last you a long time.

I had a Volkswagen Polo for 2 years and had nothing but problems with it. It constantly broke down and the repair costs were expensive. I would recommend looking at other car options.

In my experience, Volkswagen Polos are generally reliable but it also depends on how well the previous owner took care of it. Before buying one, make sure you get a thorough inspection done by a trusted mechanic.
