Volkswagen Polo Coupe Fox 3d (90) (1994/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
50+mpg on the motorway, doesn't like city traffic jams.
Costs
Parts very pricey, e.g. the last thing I bought was ignition leads (£32 compared to about £15 for other manufacturers cars).

On the road
Performance
The poorest performance imaginable from a seven year old car. No ability to accelerate at all in 4th. Overtaking is out of the question unless you want to make it scream.
-
Living with it
Reliability
100% reliable.
Image
There isn't a particular type of person who is a stereotypical Polo driver.

Security and Service
Service
I would never visit a VW dealer - servicng is easy to DIY and parts can usually be obtained from bigger parts centres.
