2002 Volkswagen Polo SDI review from Finland
"NEVER EVER buy a Volkswagen!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
OK! the first thing to go off was wheel bearings, replaced at VW garage.
Next month, clutch started slipping. Replaced.
Next week the clutch went down, towed back to the dealer! Got the car back in three days! Drove around 20 kms, Clutch went down again!
OK! Towed back to the dealer, I asked them to fix it properly and got the car back next week with new clutch, new gearbox, ABS sensors and some other little things, and paid a bill of nearly 2000 euros! Yes 2000.
OK! Drove it back home, the clutch went down on a motorway at midnight. Towed back to the dealer and asked for a refund, they refused to issue any refund.
I said, OK fix it, everything is under warranty! Now it's been three months, the car is at VW garage. The worst service, and the worst car. I would ask any VW officials reading this to review their dealership in Finland.
General comments?
The worst car ever made! VW really really sucks.
I bought this car for damn 7000 euros and paid over 2000 euros to get it fixed, but they can't fix it.
