1995 Volkswagen Polo Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This was a 3 year old car when I brought it on 27,000 miles, it wasnt quick but it was for a little 1.3L it was quite involving as it had no power steering u felt the road which gave it a fun sporty feel, it was so reliable build quality was by far the best in its class mad Vauxhall nova's or Ford Fiesta's look very bad quality. I owned this in the days where my car mechanics know how was poor and it was overheating for over 2 months loosing water all the time, so I had to skim the head and do a heat gasket but apart from front shocks and servicing nothing went wrong with it all the way up to 115,000 miles, this was in the day when I travelled 100 miles a day for work hence the miles i did.Sep 04, 2010

A very reliable car. Didn't need much attention, except for the usual (oil, water). Rarely broke down and if so, the rapairs weren't complicated nor costly. A 1.3 engine (petrol) with its 55-or-so horse power wasn't very dynamic, but the car won its share of 'red light races'. Partly because the standard suspension provided a solid grip. The brakes could've been just a little more efficient, though (not that I had any accidents ;]). I liked its line. As for a car from 1995 it maintained its good looks. However, rust had become quite a nuiscance with time. Its interior wasn't of the best quality, but it was alright and didn't poke the eyes. I would recommend this as the first car for people who just got their driver's license.May 11, 2009
