Electric window failure on driver's side.
Alarm failure due to low battery. There is no warning to say that the battery is low on factory fitted alarm systems.
Although this is described by the press as a "warm hatch", it offers fair economy whilst having ample power for all sorts of driving. On the motorway, the car is not shamed by its size. Rather the opposite, in fact, it feels larger than it is.
The car has adequate rear space but for longer excursions the boot cannot carry the luggage of four adults unless the rear seat is folded.
Your statement about the luggage space for 4 adults, if you have to fold the seats down to get enough space for 4 adults kit, then you'll only get 2 adults in the car... therefore there is not a need to carry 4 adults in the first place, so on reflection the car is perfectly sized. Have some of that! DO NOT MESS WITH THE 16v.
Good one!!!
Car is a work horse, very reliable, great speed and handling, need I say more.

I'm curious, I've got a Polo and there is a loud enough sound from the engine, is that common in 1.4 98 Polos?? My mate has a Polo as well, except 1.1 and it makes a loud enough sound as well... just wondering if you can get rid of it or if it's damaging??
