I had a new base model Polo in Jan 79 as a company car. KSF 793T (it came from Edinburgh) whence I drove it back home in icy conditions. 895cc IIRC and about 40-45 bhp. It was a joy to drive, the engine despite its low power was as smooth as an electric motor from 20mph in 4th.
The drive shafts only lasted 20,000 miles, which I put down to not slowing down for corners - it took too long to get going again.
