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.

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<<<

Nippy for a 1.4 & the stance is the best thing about it.

Style is good, especially with the sports bumpers, just needs a few different touches to make it stand out.

Bounces along nicely now its on the floor. Be careful with the right foot or it can become a heavy drinker, mainly due to the small fuel tank. Hate the gearbox but then I always knew it was a weak point.

Its a bit slow being a 1 litre apart from that its ok

Cheap to own,low fuelconsumtion aso....
