For instance, a younger car with a lower number on the odometer, or more luxurious models with more potent engines will generally cost more than an earlier version with less equipment and higher mileage.

How many different equipment levels does the VW Polo have?

Your driving behavior is an important aspect to consider when selecting a fuel type. How far do you usually drive in a standard week? Are your trips more often short ones, or do you tend to travel over long distances?

If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Diesel cars can still make sense if you drive very far and don't have access to charging. Note that there are countries where diesel engines with heavy emissions are forbidden from entering city areas.
