UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

im sure the polo itself is a good car bt the gti seems to have its downsides and i need a car with solid reliability, in the short period ive been here ive heard of:

cambelts going early
gearbox problems
clutch problems
corroding alloys

plus other little bits, im sure its a good car but ive had ...

ive moved to look at the yaris t-sport

very good car, but smaller than i want, its nippy with a 1.5 engine and 110bhp, hopefully can chip it tho haha

my top priority is reliability, i cant afford to spend the top of my budget on a car that needs repairs

thanks for the help

We have a honda jazz, volvo xc90 and a polo 2001 16v, we just got rid of a mitsubishi. my friend has a yaris t-sport and another has a fiat, (the fiat is terrible) my polo has had so many problems i now hate it and drive the jazz most of the time because its so much easier to drive but a bit slower ...
