1987 Volkswagen Polo CL review from UK and Ireland

The rear wiper motor has stopped working.

The breather system blocked at just over 86000 miles causing oil to blow out of every orifice.

The engine cut out at high temperatures so I had to have a new part- not sure exactly what that was though.

The bulbs in the instrument panel have blown and are very difficult to replace.

The car is very easy to drive however it is sometimes difficult to put in reverse.

Not a very good car to have if you are over 6ft tall, it is a bit of a squeeze for me and my dad can't drive it because he is 6ft4 and is very squashed.

Once the car gets going it goes very fast - goes best on the motorway as it doesn't like being stuck in traffic, it starts to overheat a bit.

It is my second car and my fiesta was a rust bucket compared to this and this is only a year younger, a good car for new drivers as although there is no power steering it is quite light to drive and fairly cheap and easy to fix (i am a girl and I manage to do it quite well!)

Not good if you like to pose because it looks like a miniature estate, especially as it has no parcel shelf.
