1998 Volkswagen Polo L review from UK and Ireland
"A Great all rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Near side front door leak (replaced door membrane)
Steering geometry reset after hitting a pot hole.
Brake servo hose replaced (no charge as it was a recall by VW)
General comments?
Very good car, plenty fast enough on the motorway.
1st gear a little short, but bags of acceleration in 2nd and 3rd esp. if you let it rev between 3000-4000 RPM.
It has electric heated mirrors which seams a little strange as it has no pas or c/l.
