$20k Polo Hatchback beats $400k Porsche - Car of the Year 2010

[BR @ ON]

POLO winning the car of the year is OLD news right?

Why are we talking about it now? It is indeed the reason I went for it couple of months ago. And evident in the brochure that I have read way before that...

Anyways, nothing to fault it for what it costed me. It sure has my votes!

The award in the brochure is for "World Car of the Year". That award originates from some European organisation I think... This thread is about the Polo winning "Car of the Year" as determined by Drive - part of an Australian news organisation... There are lots of different Car of the Year awards every year, given out by different motoring groups and reviewers...

I'm feeling a bit cautious over the Polo GTI see how so far the TSI looks...well congested already with a single charge (Turbo) but with twin charge (Turbo and Supercharged Engine) i have a weird feeling about the small space creating either high amounts of heat due to double friction (Yes it has been in Europe...however our Aussie conditions are one of the toughest).

If any of you have factual evidence not to worry about such issues post them up

but seriously, who cares what Drive thinks? Carsales.com.au is a much better source in Australia anyway in my opinion.

And if all else fails, I am quite happy with my POLO been the WCOTY just the way it is.
