2003 Volkswagen Polo 1.4 review from Saudi Arabia
"Very very bad not reliable do not even think about it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problems since the first week of purchase
when it was 1500 the window lifter broke down, took it to the dealer and had to be replaced with a new one and it wasn't available. arrived after one month without a front passenger window lifter
left side mirror was hit and broken by a bicycle, order it from the dealer, arrived after 3 weeks and it was expensive comparing japanese and american cars
a/c broke down after 10 months so as the clutch master cylinder, I had to argue with the general manager to have it fixed with in 3 days and no replacement car was given
the front of the car was seriously damaged because I had to drive on the highway in a dusty weather, needs to be fixed for 500$us dollars
squaking noise in the dashboard and the front chairs never solved, every time I take to the dealer its just the same nothing changes.
General comments?
CHEAP QUALITY FOR A CHEAP CAR
VERY BAD DEALERS AMONG THE MID-EAST COUNTRIES
SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE VOLKSWAGeN CARS ESPECIALLY IN THE HOT WEATHER, IT WILL NOT LAST MORE THAN 2 YEARS
I REGRET SELLING MY HONDA ACCORD COUPE 2000, WHICH I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT FOR 3 YEARS WITH 115000 KMs.
I STILL BELIEVE THAT JAPANESE CARS ARE THE BEST.
