1999 Volkswagen Polo GL review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent ride and good handling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong so far.
General comments?
The performance of the engine is not quite as good as the 1.4 (16v) of my previous car, but it is fairly quiet there is bags of torque at low revs and the ride is excellent. The car feels secure in most driving conditions, but driving too fast around bends is not advisable as there is some body roll.
The dark interior trim is not as cheerful as in my last car, but everything seems to be in the right place and it has a quality feel about it.
