1995 Volkswagen Polo review from Germany
"A shame for Volkswagen"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Too much.
At 15,000km the plastic near the radio fell of - warranty.
At 60,000km the clutch was changed, unbelievable, because I mainly drove on highways.
At 90,000km the front brakes (disc) were changed.
At 100,000km while I was driving on the highway, the oil from the transmission ran out.
Then I sold it - it was just too much for a car which should be at the top in its class - not even near - my previous Daewoo was more reliable!!
General comments?
It would be the best car in its class if the reliability marks were be better. A lot of my friends also had Polo's and all had problems!
Now I drive a Nissan Almera and this is reliable car.
