Volkswagen Polo Coupe G40 3d (1992/K) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
I've lost about £4k in 7 years - how's that for value? Could sell it easily tomorrow.
Costs
Polo costs, except for Supercharger, which need servicing every 50-60k miles at about £400.

On the road
Driving
Great fun. Still drive home the long way just for the hell of it (after 7 years).
Performance
I have friends who have done 1/4 mile sprints 0.8 sec slower than Imprezzas (quick enough?)

Living with it
Reliability
One breakdown on the road. Lost water on very hot day in very slow traffic.
Image
Shopping car looks, but who cares when it's this much fun to drive?
Comfort
Rock hard suspension. It’s a performance car - what do you want, cup holders?
-
Security and Service
Security
Door locks are standard, but that's it. Added the rest myself.
Service
Ok, but have used independent specialist since 1998.
