Polo is very much based on Fabia S2000 (the suspension scheme aside of different damper supplier is basically same) and that one was arguably the best asphalt car at least for rough asphalts in central Europe. I would say that it's better to say that VW drivers prefer gravel (including Ogier) than that the car isn't so good on asphalt.
