1990 Volkswagen Polo CL Bel Air review from Spain
"A good first car that will impress you!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've got problems with the front seats, especially with the driver one. It make the car especially uncomfortable when you drive for a long time.
The clutch died when the car was over 100.000 km, but it wasn't too expensive to change.
There is a "flood" in the glove compartment every time it rains.
I've problems with the oil pressure gouge, one day it starts to sound and after change the sensor it still sounds some times, but the engine works well.
I change the shocks and brakes disk and now the car ride very nice.
General comments?
It's a cheap, little and handle car, perfect like first car.
It has a big and useful boot, bigger than you could think of these car.
The 1.3 engine is hard and works very well. You can get a good rhythm on highway, but theme it sound very hard too.
I'm thinking now in buy another car more comfortable, but my girlfriend have start to cry when I said. I think she loves the car more than me. We have made some travels over Spain whith the Polo and never has failed us. And our first kiss was on these car...
Sorry for my English, I'm Spanish!
BYE.
