2001 Volkswagen Polo 16V review from Australia and New Zealand
"Prestige motoring at a reasonable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There was a terrible squeak from the dashboard that was due to the Compact Disk player being ill-fitted. This was fixed with a comment of "Yes, we have the fix-up pack for that". Why weren't they checked? Other Polo cars in showroom had same problem.
General comments?
Surprising performance for such a small engine.
Uses very little fuel.
Engine has a "growl" to it.
Interior quality is fantastic.
The car is rare here and distinctive.
Feels robust.
