2002 VW Polo 1.2L (round head lights)

gloriahoneybird · 2008-01-17 12:52:26

Hi, I'm thinking about purchasing a 2002 VW Polo 1.2L with approx 45000 miles. Has anyone got any feedback on this car...good or bad? I will only be using the car for short journeys at weekends not everyday as I commute by train during the week. Thanks!

I just bought that very model with similar mileage... very nice small car. I'v never heard a bad word about them and so far It's brilliant!
One problem though... the last owner was a smoker!!

If you want something small, insurance friendly, and good-looking then I recommend to go for it!

watch out for dodgy coils and catalytic convertors. also try for a comfortline and 65bhp.
