I've almost had my polo beats 18 for 10 months and here's a snapshot of my experience so far.
Cosmetic damage on pick up. This was to the dashboard and passenger B Piller. Taken to dealer to come up with a plan to sort.
2 weeks later return to sort dash. 4 weeks later return to sort B piller.
Recall on seatbelt sorted at this point.
Total vehicle trips to garrage 3..
Around 2 months in front Breaks go clonk when changing direct and breaking. Phone stops connecting weird pink and green screen on the composition media.
Trip to garrage. No fault found. Break clonking is normal on this model. Told phone at fault for screen problems. No change in cable or phone. Weirdly screen issue has not come back
Total trips to garage 4
Now Clutch is burning on hill reverses. Breaks still clonking, front right fog light refused to light message on dash restart car lights are fine. No reoccurance. Screen has now gone faulty. 1 vertical row of dead pixels that look like a crack in glass. Booked in.
Told breaks still normal. Clutch is normal to burn on this model. Screen faulty and on back order. Oh and my oil was down to 50% and needed a top up.
Trips to garage 5. Will be 6 when screen is in
Now back driver side door speaker is sounding a bit iffy.
Doing a bit of digging it seems I'm not alone with screen issue.
Buy a VW I said to myself. I like a new polo they seem amazing I said to the better half. Kind of wish I kept the fiesta now.
