2000 Volkswagen Polo L review from UK and Ireland
"A good car which is spoilt by its engineering, and reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine EPC Warning within 6 Weeks.
Ignition Switch Failure
Required replacement.
EPC Warning constantly illuminated, each time computor had to be rebooted by dealer.
Eventually Computer Replaced.
EPC warning still has problems.
All stop lights Failed, Brake light switch malfunction.
EPC Still failing.
General comments?
Apart from the many faults, I like the car to drive. It is responsive, and motors well on the motorway or around town.
The interior is pleasant, and roomy, but the drivers seat is not that comfortable.
