Is the Volkswagen Polo a reliable and affordable car option?

I'm looking to purchase a new car and the Volkswagen Polo seems like a good fit. However, I'm not sure if it's a reliable car and if it fits my budget. Can anyone give me some advice on its reliability and affordability?

I've had my Volkswagen Polo for over 5 years now and it's been extremely reliable. I've had minimal maintenance costs and it's still running strong.

I recently purchased a Volkswagen Polo and it's been a great car so far. It's affordable and hasn't had any major issues.

My friend has a Volkswagen Polo and she's had a lot of issues with it. It's been quite costly to maintain, so I wouldn't recommend it.
