1983 Volkswagen Polo Formel E review from UK and Ireland
"A good all-rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only required basic servicing in the time I owned it.
General comments?
Very cheap to run.
Performance surprisingly sprightly. I thrashed this between the Midlands and Swansea, week-in week-out for nine months. She never let me down.
'Formel E' version so 'long' fourth gear for economical cruising.
