Volkswagen Polo Training Car
My training car is the superb Volkswagen Polo the What Car Small car of the year 2019. I chose this car after trying all of the usual cars that are used for training. My key criteria was a car that had high build quality, class leading safety features, compactness for ease of use with a roomy interior for drivers of all sizes (including me !). For a while I thought I would have to choose a bigger car but found that the Polo covered every criteria and its small size makes extremely manoeuvrable.
Quality Interior
The fully adjustable seat (including height) and adjustable steering plus class leading cabin size means that it fits drivers of every size from the smallest to the largest (Me). But it is still one of the most compact manoeuvrable cars out there.

Dual Controls
The car is fitted with He-Man dual controls because they are simply the best. Dual controls will always mean that I can bring the car under control whatever the situation.

1 Litre 95hp TSI engineI chose the 95hp TSI petrol because it was amongst the cleanest and easiest petrol engine to drive.
It is therefore easy for new drivers to build confidence in a car that will be similar to the one they will own after they pass their test. It also means that with 95HP it has enough power to work safely and easily on dual carriageways and post pass motorway lessons. |
Amongst it class leading features such as dipping mirrors when reversing it is also fitted with park pilot which is an invaluable teaching aid when learning to do the manoeuvres.
