Volkswagen Polo Hatchback 1.0 E 3d (2000/W) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Hardly bargain basement price - especially considering car's performance over 18 months.
-
On the road
Driving
Suspension a bit wallowy.
Performance
Reasonable for one litre, but needs to be revved hard.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Several niggling trim/build quality problems (brake pipes incorrectly fitted, rattling exhaust/dashboard/window). Not impressive!
Comfort
Dashboard air vents are a triumph of styling over function. Seats can be too firm and lack support for long journeys.
-
Security and Service
Security
Alarm would be nice
Service
Difficulty getting warranty repairs done at a convenient time. Getting a courtesy car is like getting blood out of a stone! PDI did not seem to be done adequately.
