VW parts are not what they used to be. I once had older Golfs which were great, but the Ibiza (a VW polo underneath) is fitted with lower quality parts and deliberate planned obsolecence, such that anything other than low mileage is not worth buying. While the gear box and Engine block seem to be reliable, they are just about the only bits that haven't gone wrong. Breaks feel like my old Morris Minor!
Like it for looks, seats wear well, aircon good cost me €4000 in bills over 3 years.
I DON´T AGREE WITH YOU!!!
I HAVE THE SAME OF THE SAME YEAR AND NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT, JUST NEED TO PUT DIESEL AND CHANGE THE OIL!!!
THE CAR HAS 150.000kM.
YOU MUST BE A GREAT DRIVER!!
I agree, I have a 1.9 DIESEL non turbo. It's cheap to run, very reliable, great little car, and looks good. I've had it 3 years and nothing has gone wrong with it yet.
