1999 Volkswagen Polo L review from UK and Ireland
"A Rock-Solid Small Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong since I have owned the car, it passed it's MOT fine last month.
General comments?
This build quality of this car is fantastic - it is solid as a rock, though you do tend to feel the bumps in the road!!
My Polo has driver and passenger air bags, first class safety features for a bottom of the range car of this age.
The only bad points I can think of is no central locking or alarm, they have fitted electric heated mirrors as standard - I would much rather have electric windows or central locking.
This is my first cat and I can't complain at all, 100% reliable, easy to drive with power steering, built to last.
