It needs reloading if you throw it, unless you get the angle right and it bounces back to you.
I've done testing, the car goes further if you kick it in most cases.
Shields ignore poles too.
Blocking arrows is pretty danged rare.
It is one of the weapons that can kill max nano suit along with cars and shields.

The broken part of the pole is that currently it works with heavy weapons pro, when I discovered that quite a while ago, it made pole pretty impressive.

I know shields ignore poles, but a pole isn't designed to block - a shield is - and you're way more mobile with a pole. Likewise for the nanosuit, you can't carry a car with you and shields are not only slower, but aren't even available on some non-objective maps.

Kicking a car is way slower than whacking it, and you can't get the angle how you want, only sending it where a flat surface faces. Much better to pole it as you can chain it and run with it as a mobile wall of death in front of you.

Blocking arrows is relatively rare, but it's saved my life a few times! Even caught a Thermite once which allowed me to throw it away!
