1998 Volkswagen Polo L review from UK and Ireland

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Selecting reverse gear causes a crunch every time you go into it.

Doors sping back when you try to close them, so they don't close.

A strange thumping noise from the engine, which turned out to be the fan belt catching on the housing.

General comments?

A nippy little car which is comfortable to drive, but the engine is a little small so mid range performance isn't that great.

1996 - Polo GL 1.6

Solid, spacious, lively and reliable little run-about -not cheap maybe, but cheerful nonetheless..
