2000 Volkswagen Polo Comfortline review from Greece

"The worst deal. Money thrown away.."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Passenger's seat became loose at 2000km.

Engine cutoffs every 100-150 km due to non-defined electronic failures. CPU changed at 7000km.

Both electrical windows started malfunctioning twice (7000km, 15000km) and were replaced during warranty.

Engine refused to start at 15000km due to starter-socket malfunction. Key socket was replaced resulting in abnormal steering wheel replacement.

Colour started fading at 10000km. According to my dealer, the damage had been made during car-washing and is not covered by Volkswagen.

Holes were discovered on the rubber around the drivers door at 15000km, and I am still waiting for the part to come...

The air conditioning panel light came off and the panel was scratched by a VW dealer during the light replacement. The whole panel was replaced 2 months later.

The cockpit panel coverage became loose, but it does not concern me much.

General comments?

The service periods are 7500km for oil and 15000 for general checks, which is half the time it was supposed to be. The Greek Volkswagen general dealer says that this happens due to high temperatures, but it does not seem like a decent scenario for me.

I am very disappointed with the Volkswagen product and I would never buy a car from the same factory in the future.
