1998 Volkswagen Polo Reviews

Such a brilliant buy. It didn't have a very high milage, can't remember right now what it was, but its was over 80 000 kilometers we got it for under 60 000 rand (around 5 000 USD). Its airconditioning was AMAZING! the cool air raced out of it as soon as you put it on and th heat was soo much in winter that you'd have to turn it down after about a minute. It was really sturdy as well, you felt like you were dammed safe if someone drove like an idiot and bashed into you. It handled really well too, we could race around corner and it stuck to the road damn well for its age.

The performance was UNREAL! The accelartion speed was fantastic, as well as the breaking speed. I definately drove the bejeebus out of the car because it seemed to ache for more power! The fuel consumption was really good aswell and she was in very good condition when I got it.

The only repairs we really had to make was wear and tear items. I only needed to replace the flange and get a new gear box (i am sure all new drivers need to do that at least once when they're starting out). Other than that, never serious problems. Very well built.

The car was fun too! I named it The Green Machine, cause it went for ages and was almost like a go-kart kind of a drive. Also, its a very unassuming car which made it really fun to watch an Audi A3 loose to my cars handle and power.

i love my little polo but i dont want it forever it isnt the best car in the world by all means but it is built like a tank i swear that old polos are indestructible there great but only somebody on a budget when buying a car would buy one...

Best car in the world! buy it purely because i own it and any car i own is the best car in the world! will defeat any super cars out there that is all you need to know!!!!! ha ha

Best first car ! ! I was very lucky for my dad to be the manager of a VW garage to have this as a present for my 17 ! ! Cant fault the car 11years old like a tank just keeps going, drives amazingly looks like its brother the MArk4 golf which is a sweeeeeeeeeeeeet car also, only fault steams up when cold or damp in the air

mmm. what i like the most about my car is its size it's very practical because i don't have to look for a parking space for a long time i just found a space that fits...and when it's crowdy you better see what this car is able to do<<<
