Jetta or Vento? I think they look strange with a boot, like the Vauxhall Belmont looked a bit odd.

Polo.

Looks a lot like my old Vento. But the Jetta/Vento/Polo were pretty much the same. The only Polo I had was an estate.

And
they arn't getting any better. I expect it must be hard to find names that are international (don't mean something rude in another language) and un-used.

Even that can prove a bit of a mine field.
Eg the Porsche 911 started out as a 901 but Peugeot had already laid claim to it.

Mine was a 1992 Rover Metro 100s in Red.....took 3 attempts to write it off
2 rear enders and finally someone T-boning me drivers side on the A-piller.....A fairly strong car as the guy who hit me was doing 60 and was 3 times of the alcohol limit.....I walked away with just bruised ankles.

You are very fortunate that none of the accidents involved a frontal collision.

Very, first rear ender was an 8 month pregnant lady who just didn't see the red light I was sat at on Beacon side....Insurance paid out..Cat C write off...Second was at Frog island in Leicester, sat at some red lights and some fine chaps who I presume were from the middle east smashed into the back of me at about 20--30mph and had the audacity to shout at me as to why I had stopped...I calmly told them "because it was a red light....d*ckhead..." at which point an off duty copper pulled up on his bike.....their insurance paid out again...Cat C write off again
Paid £500 for it when I bought it.....made over £1000 from insurance payouts.....the A-piller collision was the final nail in the coffin for it. I've seen this running around the town a few times....really nice example of an early Metro.
This was what my fine piece of British Engineering looked like..
