*** Insurance Group 1E ***

SkillanNaylor Car Company are pleased to offer this 2019 Volkswagen Polo 1.0 Beats 5Dr seen in Jet Black with Black/White Cloth/Leather upholstery.

The Volkswagen Polo has long been one of the benchmarks for small cars, combining the easy-going dimensions and low running costs of a supermini with a level of quality and refinement that feels distinctly grown-up. This 2019 Volkswagen Polo 1.0 Beats 5Dr takes that winning formula and adds extra style, technology and, importantly, exceptionally affordable ownership – making it a particularly attractive choice as a first car.

For younger or newly qualified drivers, insurance can often be the biggest hurdle when choosing a car. This Polo sits in an exceptionally low Insurance Group 1E, helping to make it one of the more insurance-friendly modern cars available. As an indication of just how affordable this can make it, 12 months fully comprehensive insurance for a 16-year-old learner driver on L plates could be approximately £500, subject of course to individual circumstances, insurer, address and policy terms.

Its efficient 1.0-litre petrol engine is equally well suited to everyday driving, offering economical running costs and making it ideal for everything from learning to drive and the daily commute into Douglas to longer journeys around the Island.

With CO₂ emissions of just 110 g/km, it also qualifies for 12 months Isle of Man road tax for only £79, further strengthening its credentials as an affordable car to own and run.

Being the Beats edition gives this Polo considerably more personality than the average small hatchback. The upgraded Beats audio system delivers a punchier listening experience, while Apple CarPlay allows compatible smartphones to integrate with the car’s infotainment system for easy access to music, navigation, calls and messages.

It is also remarkably easy to live with. Front and rear parking sensors take much of the stress out of tight parking spaces, particularly useful for a new driver, while the five-door body provides proper everyday practicality with easy access to the rear seats and a useful boot. A set of smart 16-inch alloy wheels completes the Beats-specific look and gives the Polo a youthful edge without sacrificing ride comfort.

Where the Polo really separates itself from many traditional first cars is in the way it feels from behind the wheel. The cabin is well designed and reassuringly solid, visibility is good, the controls are intuitive and its compact dimensions make it easy to place on the road. Yet at higher speeds it retains the refinement and stability normally associated with a larger car.

For a first-time driver – or simply someone looking for a smart, economical and well-equipped small hatchback – this Polo makes a great deal of sense. Insurance Group 1E, potentially around £500 for a year's fully comprehensive learner-driver insurance, just £79 annual Isle of Man road tax, Apple CarPlay, Beats audio, front and rear parking sensors and Volkswagen build quality combine to create a car that keeps the sensible boxes firmly ticked without feeling like the sensible choice.

If you're looking for that all-important first car, this Polo deserves to be very high on the list.
