I think VW is nervous about the success of French cars in the small segment. I don’t see any VW models in the table in Bulgaria.
In Czechia VW has lowered the price of the Polo below the price of the Sandero. The Polo is available for €14,100 now. Great deal. Only the i20 is cheaper. But i20 strange design prevents it from being more successful.
