1996 Volkswagen Polo review from UK and Ireland
"Amazingly good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car. Still going perfectly after 100,000 miles. Everything in perfect condition.
General comments?
Very solid and extremely well built car. Very reliable and economical.
Performance isn't amazing with the 1.0 litre engine, however fuel economy is excellent (this is more important than 0-60 acceleration to me) and the engine is extremely reliable and still quiet after 100,000 miles. Servicing costs were also extremely reasonable.
The interior is attractive and very comfortable. All the fittings are still as good as when the car was first bought.
Overall, the Polo is by far the best hatchback. I've driven several different superminis including a Fiesta, 206, and Clio - the Polo beats them all hands down.
My next car will definitely be a Volkswagen.
