Is the Volkswagen Polo a reliable car for long-term use?

I'm considering purchasing a Volkswagen Polo, but I'm worried about its long-term reliability. I've heard mixed reviews about its durability and maintenance costs. Can anyone who has owned a Polo for several years share their experience?

I've owned a Volkswagen Polo for 5 years and it has been a great choice. I've had no major mechanical issues and the maintenance costs have been reasonable.

I bought a Polo thinking it would be reliable, but I've had to deal with recurring issues that have cost me a lot of money in repairs. I wouldn't recommend it for long-term use.

I've been a mechanic for 15 years and have worked on many Polos. In my experience, they are generally reliable but it's important to keep up with regular maintenance to avoid potential problems.
