VW Polo Coupe 1984-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    50+mpg on the motorway, doesn't like city traffic jams.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    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

    1 out of 5 1.0

    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

    5 out of 5 5.0

    100% reliable.

    There isn't a particular type of person who is a stereotypical Polo driver.

  • Security and Service

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

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