2000 Volkswagen Polo SE review from UK and Ireland
"This car is a joke - avoid!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine cuts out at lights.
Electric window failed.
Electric window switch short circuited.
Service light always flashing.
ABS intermitently flashes.
Temperature light flashes even when engine is cold.
Dash lights goes off.
Erratic idle.
General comments?
Only wanted a car that would be reliable and cheap to run, so bought a VW. The reliability is a joke.
Car was an absolute nightmare, everything was going wrong.
Would never buy a VW again!
