2002 Volkswagen Polo SE review from UK and Ireland
"Very disappointed with this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine management light has been on constantly since 4 months after purchase.
Exhaust emission problem, C02 sensor problem, air conditioning problem, cylinder fault, sensors replaced. The car has been to the garage 11 times to fix the problem. Has also been to a VW dealership who can't fix the problem either.
Just picked car up again today after it had been in garage for 2 weeks, and the light has come on the dashboard again, and the car is misfiring.
General comments?
Very good in bad weather - snow driving.
Feels safe.
Very very unreliable though.
Feels nice and roomy inside.
