1990 Volkswagen Polo CL Saloon review from UK and Ireland
"A great little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket went at 76,000 miles, performed top end overhaul, which improved pick-up and general performance.
Minor battery problems, nothing else serious.
General comments?
A brilliant car, and very rare - I have only ever seen one on the road like it (a 90-94 saloon). Mine's in mint condition and I love it to bits. It's my first car so I haven't much experience, but I know it's a good car.
Huge boot.
35-42 MPG. Good ride.
