Should I get a Toyota Yaris or a Volkswagen Polo?

Which of these two cars you think would be best for me: Volkswagen Polo or Toyota Yaris. I'm a 70 year old who needs a car that is safe, reliable and comfortable. My late husband always bought our cars so I'm a bit green when it comes to actually buying one. I have seen these two online but unfortunately I can't go and see them as the showrooms/forecourts are not yet open here in Scotland. I would also be interested to hear if you can suggest anything else. Many thanks.

Go for the Toyota Yaris. It is a really good small car with a strong reputation for reliability. It's also very comfortable and easy to drive. You may also want to consider the Suzuki Swift: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/suzuki/swift-2017

I have had a Nissan Micra Celebration for 22 years and it has seen daily usage. I have read several reports on the 2022 model which have not made terribly good recommendations.

More Golf-like than ever, will carry four large adults in comfort, huge boot, excellent TSI petrol engines.
Looks great on the outside and isn't too shabby on the inside either. Hybrid engine is cheap to run and relaxing. Autonomous aids make long drives painless.
