"Volkswagen Polo Sedan" - it's speciala designed car for the Russian market. This machine has been produced for a long time, since 2010. In Russia, these machines are quite numerous. "Volkswagen Polo" is one of the most popular sedans in the budget B-class. This car has gained popularity due to its low cost. But is "Volkswagen Polo Sedan" so reliable? The owner's feedback and model features will be discussed next.
Appearance and bodywork
The design of the car practically does not differ fromhatchback. So, the car has the same streamlined bumper with halogen optics. As the owners say, the machine has a strict and concise design.
But what are the problems with the Volkswagen sedanPolo"? The owners' comments say that the car is characterized by a poor-quality paint and varnish coating. After 30 thousand kilometers the body will be strewn with chips. However, the body metal does not rot through galvanized protection. If a deep cleavage is formed, rust under it will not appear. Among other problems of the sedan "Volkswagen Polo" (2017), the owners' reviews indicate poor quality windshield wipers. They quickly wear out and start to make a lot of noise when working.
Dimensions, clearance
As we said earlier, this carrefers to the B-segment, so the dimensions are fairly compact. The total length of the car is 4.39 meters, width - 1.7, height - 1.47. But what is most important is the clearance. His Germans specifically increased to 17 centimeters, adapting the machine for Russian conditions. This is very good, but do not forget that when fully loaded, this clearance sags by as much as 4-5 centimeters. Also, owners advise to install metal protection of the engine sump.
Salon
The interior design is rather modest.There is not a single highlight here: everything is in the corporate style of Volkswagen. The handlebars are three-spoke, with possibility of adjustment. The instrument panel consists of two dials. As for the readability of the scute, the reviews do not express any censure. The controls of the climate system and the radio tape recorder are located at a convenient distance from the hand.
Seats have a tight padding and a wide rangeadjustments. There is also a micro-elevator driver's seat. However, shortcomings are also present. So, in Polo there is not enough lateral and lumbar support. And the foam itself crumbles with time, as it rubs against the metal frame of the seat.
Very weak in the interior of the buttons and glove compartment.Also, many cars have a minimum level of equipment - mechanical windows, audio preparation and a simple stove, without air conditioning. It is worthwhile to understand that many copies were bought for a taxi, so they have the most minimal equipment without any additional equipment.
Among other disadvantages of the sedan "Volkswagen Polo"the owners' comments point out that the plastic glass of the instrument panel is quickly covered with scratches, and they can not be eliminated. At temperatures below 10 degrees below freezing temperatures, the fan of the stove "howls" on the unheated car. The reason for this is the lack of lubrication in the metal-graphite bearing.
Trunk
The luggage compartment in Volkswagen is designed for 460 liters. In addition, you can fold the back of the back sofa.
However, you need to remove the head restraints first. Among the shortcomings of the trunk, the reviews mark the branded fabric upholstery. But when the lid is closed, a pleasant dull sound is produced.
Electrics
What on the electric side has a minus a sedanVolkswagen Polo? The owners' comments say that the window regulator on the driver's door is jamming on this car. Also, the tailgate lock is not working. The mechanism of fixing the rear-view mirrors also fails. Among other problems in the new sedan "Volkswagen Polo", the owners' comments indicate a malfunction in the electric power steering. Because of this, at a low speed, the steering wheel turns 15 degrees to the side.
There are disadvantages and headlights. So, on the head optics, the light bulbs quickly burn out. There are downsides to the tail lights. They are covered with cracks, and from the inside.
Specifications
The car is equipped with two types of engines.The most popular is the 1.6-liter gasoline atmospheric engine of the CFNA series. Its maximum power is 105 horsepower. It is completed with a six-speed automatic box from the Japanese manufacturer "Aisin". In this box there is a function "Sport", where only five gears are involved. What they say about the sedan "Volkswagen Polo" on the machine reviews of the owners? The box is quite reliable and easy to use. When switching the automatic transmission does not "kick". In terms of service requires only a periodic oil change. In addition, the Volkswagen Polo is also equipped with a manual transmission. She is also quite strong and enduring. There are no problems with it.
Acceleration to a hundred Volkswagen Polo takes from10.5 to 12 seconds depending on the box. What are the problems with this motor? Among the pitfalls it is worth noting the rapid wear of the valve cover gasket. In the winter, the gas recirculation valve breaks down.
Also, the owners note the knocking of the hydraulic compensators "on the cold". For most, this problem goes away as the motor warms up. But sometimes the hydraulic compensators continue to knock on the warmed-up engine.
The Volkswagen Polo can be manned andturbocharged TSI engine. It is a gasoline four-cylinder engine with a working volume of 1.4 liters. Thanks to the turbine, it develops 125 horsepower, which is an order of magnitude greater than that of the atmospheric 1.6-liter. What do they say about the sedan "Volkswagen Polo" (1.4 l) reviews of the owners? This engine is characterized by increased oil consumption (however, like all the engines in this series). It is necessary to regularly monitor the level with a dipstick and add oil if necessary.
Also in winter, the engine can be difficult to start.The fault is the starter. At low temperatures, the lubricant freezes, and the starter can not rotate normally. Note that this turbocharged engine is designed only for high-octane 98-th gasoline (although some go on the 95th).
Conclusion
So, we found out what the"Volkswagen Polo Sedan". As you can see, this car is not without flaws. First of all, this is a poor quality of finishing materials and poor noise insulation. However, this machine is quite reliable in terms of power units. There are a lot of examples when "Volkswagen Polo Sedan" nursed on 500 and more thousand kilometers. It is due to the reliability of engines and boxes, this car is so common in the taxi service. But when buying a Volkswagen Polo in the secondary market, it is worth remembering that many of the specimens have already visited an accident and have a serious run that unscrupulous sellers twist. Therefore, the choice of the car should be taken very carefully.
