There is no advantage buying a Polo compared to a B segment Jap car like City or Vios unless you just want the badge. The Polo is not better to drive, no advantage in fuel economy, it is less reliable, more expensive parts and higher servicing cost. At the end of the day its second hand value is much worse. The Polo is just for badge snobs. Period.
My family have the Polo 1.6, Vios, City and Jazz. The difference in handling, steering and high speed composure is very obvious, not to mention the fit and finish is a league above especially compared to Honda.
If you just want a A-B car to putter along for your commute, any B-segment will do. But if you are looking for a bit of fun on the curvy segments in your daily routes, you might find yourself having a better experience in the Polo. The chassis is just that much better.
Of course, there are also downsides like the tin milo roof, some issues with parts durability and of course, VW aftersales.
