2000 Volkswagen Polo SE TDI review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic engine, quality look and cabin"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I noticed that 1 door was a different colour to the rest of the car after a few weeks.
Front nearside electric window stopped working for 3 months then started to function again the day before going to the dealer.
Engine management warning light started flashing: a faulty brake sensor was diagnosed.
General comments?
Great on motorway or straight roads, but handles badly on twisty roads: body roll, torque steer, & kick-back through the steering wheel.
Averaging 57 mpg - should crack 60mpg if I slow down!
How can a car leave the factory & pass the dealer PDI with one door a different shade to the rest of the car?
