I've reverted edits by this user for several reasons:
I would urge this user to join wikipedia as a registered user and contribute to this article. He/she clearly has a lot to contribute, and my revert is based on the need to move the article forward without losing useful information contributed by many people, not a personal attack. I'd suggest more step-wise edits might be more useful. Spute 10:06, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
I've now integrated all the info from User: 81.179.241.125 into the article. It probably needs a bit of tidying up still though. 82.69.4.121 00:18, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
(after above edit reverted) Actually that ( 82.69.4.121) was me, I'd just accidentally logged out. All the info added by User: 81.179.241.125 is now integrated into the article, and it was copied and pasted direct from here anyway, so there really is no need to preserve it on this talk page.

The MkII Polo hatchback model was not mistakenly labelled as a Wagon or Estate. That was the actual official name of that version. -- Pc13 17:48, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
I've just spend a long while edition some consistency back into this article. Everywhere else in Wikipedia seems pretty consistent on using metric figures - ie PS for power figures, km/h for speed, with common conversions held in brackets. The whole page has had some recent edits which have made the entire article a complete mix, and it was a mess. Not to mention numerous grammatical faults and typographic errors in those recent edits.
I gave up halfway through editing the 6N/2. It's a tedious job, I've got better things to do than waste 2 hours correcting mistakes, which brings me onto part two of this rant.
This article has got too huge, and doesn't scan at all nicely anymore. It's going to throw the casual reader off, and as a result they're not going to read it and go and find something much more interesting. I don't think we need to know the exact history, trim specification and price of each model as it was introduced into the UK; it might surprise some of you, but most wikipedians are not from the UK, even those who speak English. This isn't the place to hold every single item of detail on VW's favourite small car. I think everyone who finds their way to wikipedia can at manage to search out some further information using google, or we can include some more external links. Unless well written and part of highlighting something exceptional, I think we can also skip out power outputs, acceleration figures and top speed - these are difficult to verify, and should someone reading really want to find out the information, it's out there somewhere. Perhaps if we're really desperate for its inclusion, some tables could be built as they're much better for holding data than inline with the text.
Compare this version to the German version, and it shows what can be achieved. James Denson 03:04, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
OK, i'm currently starting a massive edit which will alter the article a lot. Please bear with me, it is not my intention to lose any info, just to improve the structure, as mentioned above. Spute 21:29, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Great job Spute its is easier to read and a much better layout. Do you need a hand with anything else, I have some more info if needed just message me what you would like expanded on and I'll write something up. Also would wikipedians like Type 6n instead of Mk 3 etc I could go find all type/production no.s if need be.-- VWphaetonfan 23:52, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Does the Polo name mean Polowind, or "polar wind," or is it a sports pun on "Golf?" The origin of the name should definitely be included in the article. Captain Caveman July 14, 2005
It's a pretty good summary, though stating that the "The fastest version of the Mk III was the 16V engined model, with 100 PS" is technically inaccurate as there was a limited edition of 3000 6N GTi models sold in Germany with a 120PS 1.6 16v. Also I know it's a summary, but there is no mention of the 6N2 GTi. Redline84 18:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
I see no problem with adding a clarification for terms that American English speakers may not be familiar with, so I reverted the anon's removal of those clarifications. -- DanielCD 00:03, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
These are presently a shambles. VW Golf designations clearly align "generation" with "mk". VW Polo designations presently called "series" as per [1] align with "generations" would be more sensibly called "mk" to be consistent with golf generations. VW body type should be indicated for all models, as it is an unambiguous part of the VW chassis number. -- Blouis79 ( talk) 09:47, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
VW history media release clearly describes four generations called MkI to MkIV using roman numerals with dates and facelift dates and major features. I have edited the page to reflect this and the variation in naming.-- Blouis79 ( talk) 21:57, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
what is the latest polo model? Lauren joubert ( talk) 19:01, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
I propose that the article Volkswagen Polo GTI be merged into Volkswagen Polo. While the template may state a direct merger of the two articles, I acknowledge the fact that the sections of Volkswagen Polo GTI refer to the GTI versions of each iteration of the Polo, each of which have their own respective articles. That will subsequently be addressed in the merger, as the information in each section is merged into the appropriate article. Nothingmore Nevermore ( talk) 19:08, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
I think I forgot to give an explanation when I first proposed this, so I shall give it now. Due consideration must be given to the precedent set by Volkswagen Golf, where the GTI versions of the aforementioned vehicles do not themselves warrant a discrete article (i.e.: Volkswagen Golf GTI), despite being more notable than the Polo GTI. Nothingmore Nevermore ( talk) 14:05, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
I decide that this article should be here to stay due to that we should rename it "Volkswagen Polo G40/GTI". japanesevehicles100 ( talk) 14:19, 17 June 2011
I can't find anything about fuel economy in this article. If it is buried somewhere, it should be made easier to find. If there is in fact nothing on fuel economy, that is a fatal flaw and renders the article essentially useless to most readers. --- Dagme ( talk) 15:17, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
I saw a photo on the internet of the US model but i never seen it in the US. So I wounder if it was ever sold in USA or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A8v ( talk • contribs) 23:33, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
Just a suggestion but if anyone watching here is looking for a little bit of something to do, the Straight-three engine article appears to be a little out of date regarding VW, no acknowledgement there of the 1.0 litre engine this article says is used in the sixth generation Polo. 86.155.27.168 ( talk) 22:56, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
