The main issue was reliability.
Starter packed up twice.
I replaced all five tires (previous owner practically destroyed them)
electronics acted up at times
Brakes were shot.
The dealer from whom I have bought 6 previous cars actually mis reperesented the car as faultless with a full history. which was not the case
The fuel consumption hovered around 6km to a liter and was best on the open raoad at 120 at 10.
The fourwheel drive made it feel like a tank albeit an extremely prescision fast tank. The seats (electric recaros were too fussy for me and I never got them to my satisfaction.
I took a R32600 hit with that car and am very glad to see the last of it. The dealer who traded it had a breakdown the next day
As strange as it may sound I derived much more satisfaction from the 1.8 turbo a4 that preceded it and the Polo is actually a car that puts a grin on my face. Its not fast but its responsive nice steering feel rev happy and has the right amount of doors
