    Polo looks like a much nicer car. Depends whether it's in nct or not though,

    Yaris.

    Yaris has a timing chain as opposed to a belt in the Polo, if the Polo hasn't had the belt changed already it's due one and that will cost around €500 or more to fit. I may be wrong but I'd say the Polo is poverty spec with no electric windows.

    Thanks for that advise, I really appreciate it.

    What about the Ford Fiesta 99? Is it worthy to include on the list of choices?

    the drivers door on the Yaris has been replaced or repainted, it's a different shade to the rest of the car. also the bumpers seem to have been painted afterwards as Terra models have black bumpers. suspect an accident repair and check accordingly.

    Yaris is a better all round car than Polo, but that particular Yaris looks a bit iffy.

    Yes Fiesta is ok, that particualar model is old, it's around since the mid 90's. A good alternative to the Polo is a Seat Ibiza, it's a better spec car and built with VW parts.
