Volkswagen Polo Hatchback 1.3i CL 3d (1992/J) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Nice sturdy little motor for the money, costs a little more than equivalent hatches but holds value better.
Costs
9000 mile service intervals, not bad! Had to replace head gasket, not cheap on any car!

On the road
Driving
Quite good fun in the dry, understeers a lot in the wet, quite harsh over the bumps, good on motorway.
Performance
Quite a nippy little car, have heard its good for 110mph!

Living with it
Reliability
Had no problems save the head gasket, just tail pipe and battery, wear and tear stuff.

Bit of an overgrown shopping trolly, but who cares what people think, it's fun!
Comfort
Nice firm seats, like I said, a little harsh on our third world type bumpy roads.

Used a local garage, a lot more friendly and cheaper than main dealers.
