1997 Volkswagen Polo review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattling dashboard, almost coming apart.
Back wiper noisy, water has stopped coming out of nozzle.
General comments?
Excellent resale on all mk4 Polo's, better value for money than a Golf.
Super long distance economy.
I have driven it in every county in Ireland, never a hint of any mechanical problems.
Holds the road well, sober performance, most suitable for cruising.
Still the best small car in the world.
