1987 Volkswagen Polo C Saloon review from UK and Ireland
"A bloody good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust fell off the car on the way back from London at 80,000.
Used to cut out for no apparent reason, got the carb cleaned at 95,000 which fixed it.
New spark plugs at 96,000.
New tyres at 98,000.
General comments?
A very quick car, a lot quicker than my last car, a Nova 1.3.
Top end speed does suffer a bit, level 5 insurance group so it is a bit high on the old insurance.
I do at least 500 miles a week in this car, it is company owned but I bought it off the company cause it is a gem to drive.
Very comfy seats, excellent ride handling (possibly something to do with the extra wide tyres).
Always rips apart my mate's Peugeot 106 1.0.
