1994 Volkswagen Polo Coupe Genesis review from UK and Ireland
"Perfect small good looking shopping car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My poor Polo was hit by a Lexus GS400 (big).
The only damage was a dented wing and a wheel bearing. Tough little nut this car.
The seats have developed a squeak recently, which I can't fix with wd40.
Apart from that the handle came off the window winder, more likely me being too rough with it.
General comments?
Performance is no more than you would expect from a 1 litre, but 43 miles per gallon on the last tank of petrol.
Only four gears so would be even more economical with five.
Plenty of room front and back with enough room for the shopping.
Handling is excellent, it's light, and nimble, and the brakes are excellent.
