2000 Volkswagen Lupo 3L TDi 1.2 turbo diesel

Summary:

Good idea, but bad built

Faults:

Front right bearing broken, Front left bearing changed by previous owner.

Plastics from front bumpers lost.

Six months to locate a protector of the cup-holder.

Gear box broken with 90.000 km. 3000 euros to repair it.

General Comments:

The car would be a bargain if it were more reliable. With 30 liters of gas-oil can do more than 600 km at normal speed.

With 4 years of use, the car need to be reviewed completely, nothing goes fine.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Finally, I have been pushed to sell it. Problems with ABS, gearbox and other minors ones. I have tried to resolve the ABS problem, but after 1250 Euros it doesn't work properly.

Finally I have to claim to Volkswagen not to create another car like this.
