Volkswagen Polo reviews
Total 24 Volkswagen Polo owner reviews
Pros: Very warm car in autumn/winter, excellent lights, very brisk
Cons: Something is always breaking, if it's not the window wipers, you can't open the petrol tank or the boot! Almost impossible to pass the MOT because of CO2, repair as you like, change the sensors at a VW centre. High road tax for such low mileage and power!
