Although I've owned vehicles with standard items, of which my 2013 model year High Up lacks (chiefly auto headlights and illuminated one-touch electric window switchgear), I believe that one of the most important things that VW could do would be to address the lack of insulation from engine and road noise.
I'm disappointed that VW opted not to fit the model, that I currently own, with insulation to the rear wheel arches or to the reverse of the bonnet, in order to reduce the amount of noise entering the cabin of a car which otherwise exceeds in all other departments.
Consequently, as a lack of such insulation, I've grown tired of the level of noise that enters the cabin.
After eight months of ownership, I'm now giving serious consideration to the thought of upgrading to the new Polo, which, according to car-critics, enjoys the hushed silence that one experiences whilst in a BMW 3-series.
Moreover, I'm also inclined to believe the critics, particularly since I've been a passenger in the outgoing VW Polo, belonging to a colleague, where I was pleasantly surprised at how well insulated the cabin appeared from exterior noise.
