Which is the better car, 2010 Volkwagen Polo or Audi A1?

Question 1
Which is the better car, 2010 Volkwagen Polo or Audi A1?...  

Answers
1)   audi a1 - beybladeboii

2)   It's all a matter of personal choice. I would go for the polo. My reason, I've had one before and loved it. Never gave me any problems, always passed its M.O.T. - The Malxter

3)   this is like asking which is a better painting and selecting a monet or a da vinci.
each will have good points and debit points.
for everyday usage and cheaper running costs and not too steep a capital loss the Golf wins. for prestige, long distance comfort and handling etc an Audi wins.
so really you have to make own choice depending on what best fits you. - hornchurchmale

4)   Having driven neither its difficult to say. I would rather have the Audi for its image and its residual value will be strong. The Polo, an excellent car in its own right created as a market leader and in some quarters critically acclaimed as such against the Ford Fiesta. The Audi was created to tackle the BMW Mini car and not the mainstream mass produced vehicles. According to some reports it it is the best Supermini others state it is behind the Mini and laughably the Citroen C3. In a straight fight I would go for the Audi. - L G

5)   polo - Niki Spearman

6)   The Audi A1 IS a VW Polo under the fancy bodywork. - EvelynThe ModifiedDog.

Question 2
Hey :] just bought a VW Lupo 1.0.. was that a foolish choice for a first car? :S?...  

Answers
1)   No its a VW so itll be fine... just dont take too many risks :) - Ten

2)   it is a very small car. Why do you want to drive it? - White Republican

3)   Doesn't seem a daft choice to me - it's small, so will be easier to handle and park than a larger car, it's only a 1.0 so will be cheaper to insure and won't cost you a fortune in petrol. Very sensible. - Gecko

4)   lupos are cool! as the first person said, VW is a good thing... but also take a look at how cool a lupo can look search on google images ;) !! - Sarah Ellis

5)   No. Lupos are decent wee cars. Bit different to all the Corsas and Saxos all your mates will have. - EvelynThe ModifiedDog.

6)   Only a foolish choice if you find the insurance is too much for you to afford. You should always check how much it will cost before buying the vehicle.

If you can afford it you will have great fun in it and it is a much better choice than the bland Corsa that most new drivers are stuck with. - who_is_jack_shit

Question 3
is vw passat reliable?...  

Answers
1)   Yes - Mr.Gifford

2)   Yes if maintained properly. - Following the manufacturers service schedule. - pbleek

3)   i have a vw golf and its the most reliable car i have ever had vw KNOW HOW TO MAKE A CAR - BIG FELLA

4)   Well your question is a little vague, what year, what engine? I am a VW "nut" so I might sound biased but here is my opinion. The newer VW's are reliable but *can* have minor issues. These are not cars to ignore regular maintenance on but you'll find they drive and feel better than any comparable car in their class. My wife has an 03 and I drive an 06 Passat, both the 4 cylinder turbo models. Gas mileage is about 30 on the highway and they have all the power I would every want (the 03 is a 5 speed, 06 an automatic). Neither car has left us stranded ever. I had a 2001 Jetta that I bought new and put 134k until I sold it, it never left me stranded except once, the battery died. I know this is a rambling reply but, yes they can be reliable but need an owner who is willing to take care of their vehicle. If you are buying used consider a cetified pre-owned VW, the warranty is top notch. My car has 85k on it and is still under warranty! - easywind1975

5)   In a word, Yes. As everyone states, scheduled maintenance is essential (in all cars). If you have the car on the "extended long life" service, and just think about it, you need to have only 5 services in the first 100k miles ! That boils down to 5 or 6 years motoring for above average use, no brainer really . - L G

Question 4
What weight of oil should I be using in my 1997 Golf?...  I have a Hane's manual but it does not confirm what weight and grade of oil I should be using in my 1997 Golf (4dr Trek) 2.0. Can anyone give me the straight poop? I use only Royal Purple and I think it was 10-30-5. I'm also willing to try Amsoil but that's it. Thanks.
Rick, I think that the weight Ryan suggested is what I have used in the past but I do burn about a Qt. every 45-60 days.

Answers
1)   i would suggest using 5w30 - Ryan

2)   On your car, because of the age, start with something mid-range, like the 10W-30. Keep an eye on the level until the next oil change. IF the engine has burned enough between oil changes that you needed to add some, then go up a step, to 20W-40, of so. If you change your own oil, you can mix some 10W-30 and 10W-40 to get 10W-35 ( +/- ), and try that. What you are aiming at is to use the thinness weight ( lowest number ) you can so you don't have to add any between oil changes. If it's a bit low when you change it, that's okay. Which of the big name synthetics you use is up to you, as any of them is way better then a street car will need. - rick29148

3)   My sister has a 2000 Golf. She uses plain ol' 10-30 W . Pennzoil or Quaker State, mostly.
She uses a Genuine VW oil filter too.
Oil changes are abt every 6000 miles for her. Her trusty lil Golf has over 140,000 reliable miles on it . - fenton

4)   http://www.golf-onsales.com is a professional golf online store.
And the seller is a good golf player! You can ask him such questions. - Ryan Yu

Question 5
Would a mk2 golf 1.3 have power steering?...  also how much do you recon it would cost for a male of 17 years old too insure? thanks!

Answers
1)   Probably not given its age, but the advert should tell you. For a 17 year old lad, you're probably looking at £3-4000. - frey

2)   Very unlikely, nor does it need it unless you've got some sort of medical condition that makes your arms unusually weak. Small cars don't really need power steering.
Insurance might not be as bad as you'd think, if you can get it on a classic car policy which with a Mk2 Golf, you might. It'll still be over a grand but it might not be as much as the £2000-£3000 your mates will be paying for their nasty little Corsas. - EvelynThe ModifiedDog.

3)   Definitely no power steering. It wasn't even standard on the Mk2 GTi 8v, never mind the 1.3.
Power steering wasn't standard on the early lower-powered Mk3 Golfs either.

Only an insurance broker or insurance website can tell you how much it will cost to insure.
There are too many variables in insurance to give an indicative cost - you will need to go through the proper quote process. - Neil

4)   No power steering and I reckon you will have to part with about £1700 of your hard earned.If you name and adult (parent) on your policy it will bring the price down a little. You really need to get your quote first before you buy. It may be better going to see a "friendly" insurance broker who can best help rather than just looking at web searches and getting totally disillusioned ! - L G
