1985 Volkswagen Polo C review from UK and Ireland
"Built like a skip - goes like a skip"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the clutch cable twice after a shocking British-made replacement. The German second replacement was perfect.
There is a fist-sized hole in the off-side wing... not a problem.
Rear heated windscreen and wipe doesn't work - but the wash does!
General comments?
If you hit an 80s Astra up the rear nothing will happen to Polo, but lots will happen to Vaux... ha ha ha!
The car is seriously quick and handles like it's on a wet sheet of glass.
I have stripped it out, removing seat covers and belts etc. to save on weight.
