1998 Volkswagen Polo review from South Africa
"Okay for first time buyer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Central locking stopped working at about 80 000 km.
Aircon's performance dropped at 90 000km.
General comments?
Performance is not what you would expect.
Fuel economy is quite bad for a 1.6i small car.
Lots of rattles.
But quite good looking.
