1985 Volkswagen Polo review from Netherlands
"It helps me get there"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine started smoking at 135 km/h.
The switch of the fan is missing.
General comments?
I only bought this car today. I paid EUR 300, which I think is really nothing, but I hope it will last at least for the summer.
The driver seat is worn badly, but the car is 17 years old, so that's okay.
It's really comfortable.
I'm used to 5 gears, but this car has 4. That's a little odd.
