Don't get me wrong, my Polo is great... but it has no zazz... no heart.

Compared to my old Mx5, sure the Polo is quicker in a straight line.... but the Mx5 just oozed personality. Same with the WRX I had before that.

As I describe the Polo to my partner, it just doesn't have a soul.
I totally get what you are saying mate but I think in the end what you are talking about comes down to personal taste.

I personally love my polo I think it has heaps of character and soul despite the flaws, and if I had the money I would do many a stupid things to it that would not be "cost effective" over buying something more capable like the WRX.... worse still what I would spend on my slow arse GLD mk1 before forking out for a Mx5 which is a great handling car but looks like half a dildo on wheels.

Don't get me wrong I'd drive the **** out of them if I found myself on some nice twisties and was give a chance but sure as hell wouldn't invest any time, money or emotion in owning one.... on the other hand that EVO you are talking about ...well thats a totally different story.

just saying soul/x-factor you feel is lacking in one car isn't necessarily lacking for someone else.
and expect to butt heads when you mention that in a forum about said car
