After testing the waters with the Jetta and Passat, VW is firing with all its guns with the Polo and the Vento. Still not the first choice for a market driven on value. The problem is, for every VW out here, there is a cheaper, better Skoda.

Jetta
Unlike the predecessor, this new car does not seem like it was carved out of a Golf and a Passat. Instead it looks like the proportionate whole that VW had set out to make it.
-
Passat
A slightly poorer man's A4? The slightly richer man's Laura? Whatever, it's classy and well built.
-
Phaeton
Another big luxury saloon without the snob value. Understated luxury at its finest, if you can live with the VW badge.
-
Polo
Smart, sophisticated, German. Sticks to all the norms and is affordable too. no excitement on offer.

-
Vento
Fantastic value for a VW sedan; tarmac-smothering ride and still a great looker.
