1995 Volkswagen Polo CL review from UK and Ireland
"A very good supermini"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clock after 1 month - instrument panel replaced.
Exhaust.
Rattle apparently behind the dash cured by foam under the bonnet at the air duct.
General comments?
Excellent performance belies relatively low bhp. It's a great pity they don't have this engine option now.
Good build quality.
Feels like a bigger car.
Quiet & comfortable.
Understeer when pressed hard on sharp bends, otherwise quite sporty handling (roll bar standard on a 1.6).
Poor visibility. Blind spot to the rear quarter resulted in an accident. Can't see the extremities when parking and the curved sides don't help.
Poor ventilation - lack of a recirculation option and no provision for cool air to the face with the heater on.
