1998 Volkswagen Polo Classic review from Namibia
"Value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My radiator packed in one night at ~135000km.
Front drivers seat has started to wear on its sides.
Clutch has now started to slip.
General comments?
It's a 1.8i and I must say is very fast in the pull, as well as top end.
Excellent reliability.
Good fuel consumption depending on how fast you drive it (~400km on one tank doing 130-150)
Its a lux. model so has front bucket seats which provide sufficient support.
