1980 FSO Polonez review from Poland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Started to rust after four years.
Problems with the electrics from the beginning.
Engine needed very much oil.
Frequent trouble with the cooling.
Clutch problems at about 30000 km.
All kinds of small problems.
General comments?
The car's origins lie in the sixties.
Not very reliable but quite easy to repair.
