1996 Volkswagen Polo L review from UK and Ireland
"Capable, but not perfect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idle problem, tends to cut out at junctions quite regularly.
Passenger side door dropped and damaged edge of roof.
Various parts of interior trim loose and/or broken.
General comments?
Feels like a bigger car when you drive it.
Loud and underpowered engine.
Gearbox jerky and bit crude feeling.
Interior well designed.
Handles well with little body roll.
Equipment levels are paltry.
No PAS!!
