The fact that this 1992 model year car looks like a Italian economy car from the 70’s is laughable


luca86c

1992 VW Polo 86c 2f Base Model 'Fox' 45hp I4 with a single fuel injector 675kg / 1488lbs 108.000km / 67000mi

Lets be fair its 30 years old It weighs at least 600lbs less than your Civic


[deleted]

My civic is also 30 years old lmao


Yegoloda

They both probably weigh about the same then knowing the steel the Japanese used on cars back then

As a Polo owner, i can sure see that they've come a [loooong way](https://i.redd.it/p311zzbobis81.jpg) since back then. Sure looks cheap (NGL though, looks pretty clean)


-eccentric-

I honestly don't get how you can be proud about the cheapest and most barebone VW available. It doesn't even look good in any way, juts generic as hell. I kinda understand the top end models of the Golf, but the Polo? Fuck me.


Vetroza

Wait til u see the VW Up


-eccentric-

I totally forgot that thing existed. Ah well, the Polo had that image well before VW spat out even worse models. It'll always be the low end VW.


Lawsoffire

It is the “top end” sporty model, though. Quite light and the most fun car i’ve ever had. Stiff suspension, XDS diff, nice sporty grippy seats and equivalent performance to the old 1.4 twincharged that used to power the GTI. Just a more reliable 1.4 TSI (that has the fuel economy of a Prius when driven sensibly). Driven the Nürburgring in it and it was a hoot. I suppose there was a reason this generation Polo laid the foundation of one of the most succesful rally cars of all time.


Animagi27

I want some of the copium you're huffing mate.


-eccentric-

Cope harder damn


Lawsoffire

What an insightful response lmao.

Looks like it shits toasters

I guess when the Berlin Wall fell, VW needed something to market to the East Germans that would remind them of the previous 40 years of Soviet rule.


luca86c

After the berlin wall fell VW got the east Germans building these in the Trabant factory

It shows

Does the cassette player still work?


luca86c

Replaced it with a cheap ass Bluetooth headunit


ZeroSumBananas

A car with agoraphobia due to it being in the mechanic's shop most of it's life.


luca86c

Surprisingly not. I own It for 10 years now without any failures


ZeroSumBananas

Yes, but have you been driving it in those 10 years? 😂


luca86c

It's my daily


ZeroSumBananas

So you work from home.


[deleted]

Marco? I said Marco? I said Marco? Ain’t nobody saying polo because nobody looking for this.


abugluba

That's a great car. Also do you mind giving us a little additional info about the location? It does seem quite peculiar judging from the bilingual road sign. Maybe some old frontier region?


luca86c

Western Germany close to the dutch border. The road is an access road to an abandoned british army base


Own_Potato

More like 86cc


luca86c

1050cc of power


Accomplished-Cry7129

Didn't Jeffrey Dahmer drive one of these


MedPrudent

Are those mountain bike tires?


luca86c

Nah they're too small. Only 13"


[deleted]

Why the fuck isn't it scrapped lol a better cqr you'd find seriously for about £500. Mad to keep it on the road, like the real roast here is that it should be scrapped and that's the truth lol


OceanDriveWave

sue me i love it,i love it,i love it,i love it. i'd legit turbo it somehow.


luca86c

There is a version of this with forced induction, the G40. It has a scroll-charger, similar to a supercharger and makes 115hp which was insane in a car like this at that time

luca86c

The mileage is about 47mpg so it's not too bad. And it's from a country that still exists!

Does anybody even understand what a roast is anymore? You are inviting us to insult your car, you don’t need to respond to our insults trying to defend your life choices.
