I had the V1's on the polo and they are the best coil overs i have ever had the pleasure of using.

Went really low but did not become really hard.

....

What sort of ride you like is a personal thing, but I'm learning that the KW V3's are a pita to set up properly unless you are an expert - Basically too much adjustability!

V2's seem to be the best for fast road use and with other KW top mounts you can easily change their settings for a track day. Which spring ratings you combine them with will also make a difference apparently.
