1984 Volkswagen Polo C Formel E review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent small car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch wore badly and needed replacing at 60,000 miles.
Tyres needed replacing at 62,000 miles.
Cassette ejection button failed at 65,000 miles and whole stereo had to be replaced.
General comments?
A well built, reliable and economical small car.
Well worth the £1,800 that I paid for it.
Held its value well over the next year and I obtained £1,500 from the resale a year later.
Not very exciting, although its good qualities more than compensated for this.
