For a supermini, the Volkswagen Polo is incredibly grown up which is largely thanks to a refined driving experience, classy cabin, space for five plus luggage and low running costs. That's not restricted to just the latest-generation Polo launched in either, the previous version had much of the same attributes.
If your budget will stretch to a new shape Polo it is well worth it thanks to the updated cabin and technology on offer. For example, all models come with an eight-inch central touchscreen media display, which includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Elsewhere, the impressive equipment continues with air-conditioning and autonomous emergency braking available as standard. VW does a Beats edition of both the current and previous generation Polo which are aimed squarely at younger motorists.
There is no improvement in performance, but an uprated sound system and more sporty styling are present. Alternatively, SE spec comes without the extrovert looks of Beats models but still offers decent levels of equipment. As for engines, the 65hp 1. Our pick Kia Picanto 1.

Naturally, being more up-market insurance prices are a touch higher. No such thing as a free lunch after all. Which is the best model for learner drivers? One of the sweeter spots in the range is entry-level SE variants with the 95hp petrol engine.
Alternatively, SE Technology models are the next rung up and bring satellite navigation plus wireless phone charging — both handy for long post driving test journeys. Our pick Toyota Yaris 1. Toyota and its sister company Lexus have a long history of building cars to last. The option of a hybrid version is probably the biggest draw to the Yaris, as no other mainstream rival offers such a package.
As a result of its electrification, the Yaris is very economical and only available as an automatic — those looking to learn in a manual might want to look at the 1. When looking at the best model to buy, second-hand Active models are a fine option for learners, bringing Bluetooth, collision warning and air-conditioning as standard. Also standard are steel wheels so there should be no expensive alloy wheel repairs if you kerb one or two when parking.
