"Even worse than the Polo", damn, why does the polo have such a bad image? Just because of Czopick... Look at the Punto, how many technical problems did it have, does anybody say it's bad? The Polo has done several victory's and kicked Punto's en 207's ass in Ypres. Just bad luck caught them out, just like many others were caught out.
I can understand why the Corolla story has stopped, because they don't made any succes. I've heard Grifone would do the Auris togheter with Toyota SA.
We cannot say that until now the Polo collected rallies and victories in Europe, Czopik or not !!! :rolleyes:
But you can't call it worse either, that is my point.Quote:

In my eye the Polo is very competetive car. Unfortunately it wasn't run it manufacture team like Fiat or Pug, but I'm sure it can be pretty fast. The biggest problem is that there are run only few cars divided to too many drivers. But it isn't problem of the car itself. We shouldn't measure abilities of this car through Czopik's performances, because he showed nothing also in Punto...
Isn't reliability also a problem on the Polo ?? :confused:
I mean not only about Czopik case, but also Loix and Hevia of course... :rolleyes:
The main problem of Polo, in my point of view is the developer team, in this case, René Georges.
Attention, I'm not telling that René Georges isn't a good team, or something, but we can't compare them to an official team like Fiat or Peugeot...
René Georges could have the best engineers, the best drivers, but for sure they don't have the same budget has official teams... and that's make a huge difference...
If I look at Puntos or Pugs, how many errors they have, i don't think Polo run out of average of S2000 cars. Let's wait to have more Polos on the tracks and then we can make objective statistics ;) When Punto was on the stages in first year of it's life, there were also soooooooooooooo many bugs...
[Madeira-Rally]: I agree. I think this differrence is also seen between René georges Rally Sport and SA VW a bit.
Freddy Loix drives again the Polo S2000 this weekend in the 6th event of the Belgium Rally Championship, the 'Omloop of Flandres'. See http://www.omloopvanvlaanderen.be ;)
