Volkswagen Polo, 2003, Eura

Well-travelled Polo, now extensively serviced and returned to the road with a valid inspection. Owned by the same family from new and driven mainly on long journeys.

Approximately 1,800 km of test driving completed and ready to continue driving; placed in storage. The photos in the advert were taken before the test drive, so it is now slightly dirtier due to the weather.

My observations:

• Smart and agile to drive

• Light electric-hydraulic steering

• Fast-heating seat heaters

• Air conditioning blows cold and hot air

• Removable tow bar can carry, for example, a bicycle or boat trailer

• Cruise control makes even a small car good for long journeys

• Trip computer is a useful feature in this size, especially for monitoring consumption and range

• ISOFIX mounts on the rear seats

• Plenty of storage compartments

• Engine pre-heater with hose and interior connection

• Affordable spare parts/accessories

• No particulate-filter/DPF concerns at this model year

• Timing belt has 29,000 km remaining

• Service book with Käyttöauto stamps

• 2 new keys for the doors, 1 for starting

• Original key-code tag retained

• Pioneer radio with USB, CD, FM/AM and Aux-in

• Easy to park

• Surprisingly quiet on the open road

• Economical overall from this point onwards

• Consumption at best 3.2–3.5 litres/100 km at 80 km/h, about one litre more in mixed driving

• Changing the engine management may make it even more fun to drive

• Good first car

• Not modified, but has potential for many modifications
