2002 Volkswagen Polo tdi sports review from UK and Ireland
"Could be great, but poor build spoils it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel filler cap would not shut and had to be replaced.
The dash rattles constantly.
General comments?
This is a genuinely quick car and I am very impressed with the performance.
Economy is fantastic with an average of 55 mpg despite some enthusiastic driving.
Build quality is considerably worse than the golf and un-acceptable at the price.
The dash is made of poor platic and creaks and groans all the time.
The dealer is incapable of fixing this or indeed returning phone calls.
