2002 Volkswagen Polo Comfortline review from Norway
"Never again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS and ESP lamp turned on while driving (after 15 days and 600 km). Fixed by the dealer in just 30 min.
Speaker on the drivers side turned off and on (after 20 days and 900 km).
Replaced by the dealer after some discussions.
The car didn`t start when it was cold (after 45 days and 4000 km). The VW dealer told it was engine problem (they used 2 days to find and fix the problem).
This is just a sample. More problems (though small and fixed by VW) have occured later.
General comments?
Down sides: A lot of small irritating problems and one major breakdown.
Pluss side: All problems where fixed rapidly and never accured again. When the car stayed at VW dealer for daytime repares, VW drove me to work and back.
At all repairs overnight I got a free replacement car.
Conclusion: I love to drive this car, but love doesn`t fix problems.
