2001 Volkswagen Polo 16V review from Australia and New Zealand
"Outstanding value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A small crack in the paint work between boot and bumper has appeared. No trouble for dealer to fix.
General comments?
Handles beautifully.
Feels sporty.
Copes with Australian driving conditions very well.
Internal finish is excellent.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to obtain some accessories in Australia (bonnet protector).
