1990 Volkswagen Polo C review from UK and Ireland
"Solid reliable bargain!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New clutch, brake pads and handbrake unit!
Warm air inlet pipe.
Door handle.
Boot lock, but fixed with WD40.
Driver's side window winder.
Head gasket.
General comments?
Not fast but can be fun to drive, puts other 1 litres to shame!
Handling could be better, but could be worse.
No limiter means the engine can be revved very high!
Very reliable and quite economical, ideal first car, now moving on to a 1993 Polo Coupe 1.0, as sadly this car came to an end involving a slippery road!
