VW Polo (1994-99)

Not a bad car, I own a Green 5 door N reg 1.4 Polo. It's my first car and has convinced me that my next car will be a Polo but newer! It's cheap on insurance and petrol and seemingly very reliable I have only had a few things go wrong with it. The window reg broke, the central locking motor has broken, the wiper motor broke... so basically all the motors packed in. I also have to change the light bulbs in the back alot. They don't seem to last very long! We also had a problem with it a year ago whereby the heater or something was storing water which meant that the inside of the car would never demist properly but we replaced a part and its fine now. Apart from that its a ...  Read the complete review

I am a 21 year old student and this is my third car; a 1 litre, M-Reg VW Polo. Although I have of course only have a comparatively low experience of car ownership I can certainly guarantee that this little motor is a reliable little run-a-round. The car is currently up t0 103,000 miles and in true solid, German, VW style, is showing no sign of giving up any time soon. The body work has remained in fine condition with little to no rust, the engine is ticking along nicely and the interior remains quite contemporary and in good condition. Even with low level engines, such as mine, the light weight of the vehicle ensures it is a nippy little car and compares ...  Read the complete review

This is what my first car is. I've owned it since Nov '03. Mine is a 1.0L T Reg in white. Now this is the cheapest, most basic model there is. So Im going to keep that in mind in this review. Also remember this is my first car so I dont have any other cars to compare it to really. Anyway on with the review. Handling wise, the suspension feels a bit soft, I dont have power steering but I've test driven some cars that are alot worse without power steering than this, such as the Peugeot 106 which was a horrible drive. I can live without power steering on this car, although on alot these models it comes as standard anyway, I was just an ...  Read the complete review

Although you see WAY too many of them around in my opinion, I love my little Polo. Having had 4 clapped out old bangers nicked in a rather short space of time, I decided early last year that it was time to invest in a decent motor. I was advised by those in the know that a Polo was a cool small car, big enough for me and my kids. NOT cheap though - but because I'm the kind of person that cannot be bothered to shop around, I wandered off to the nearest VW garage and bought a nice black one (what a typical woman!) at £8000.00. It's S reg 1.4CL, seriously low mileage and in mint condition with a factory fitted immobiliser and central locking. VW have been a ...  Read the complete review
