Feck don't talk about them, my mate Steven bought his 1st car, a 20K one old lady owner from new Polo Fox, think it was a 89 F reg, it was utter rubbish, it cost him more than the car was worth in the first year to keep it on the road it, was that bad, he traded it in at Arnold Clarks for a new Punto, which TBH wasn't great either in a luck kinda of way, people kept running into it
so traded it on for a Mazda 323F, lol

Ah........................so how old was the Polo when your mate bought it?
My cousin has a 1986 Polo and has had it for over 10 years and its still going strong

Let me think, hes 26, so he bought it when he passed at 18 I think so 8 years ago, and that would make the car 9 years old, but then theres alot of people on here running 10 year old fiats that didn't give as much jip as that did, was 'orrible.
My first E 88 R5GTT with 90K on the clock was much much better than it, never had to do anything to it, well apart from replace turbo under warrenty after a week, but once that was done it was faultless.
I've found over the years of seeing hundreds of cars come and go through my stepdads car lot, that some cars are just good, others bad no matter what the make, its just some have a slightly better average than others.

It was funny reading some stuff on there, good site, i would say in general the little old Polos are really tough thats why Steven bought one, but his was just a dog, and i don't think VW fitted brakes to any of there cars before the MK3 Golf, they really are that bad, Cinq bad in fact, lol. Can't believe they put Audi 80/90s on there tho, I only remember them being used by dodgy minicab firms in the late 80's cos you could pick up a 4 year old one for less than a grand, the resell value of Audis was that poor back then, I could have bought a 4 year old Audi 100 for £600 when i was 17 when a similar age XR2 was £2.5K! You never, and i mean never see old Audi 80s in Scotland any more, they all rusted away, lol

Me dad's Y Reg Polo & F Reg Jetta were bullet proof... L Reg Vento he replaced the Jetta with was just not as good build quality wise and gave way to a 323 Mazda (partially as he was not impressed with Vento build quality and could not get the right deal on a Bora)
