There are a few others . . .had 2 Corsairs, 2 Astras , an Escort  but not sure when 

Never had a new car 

How much are those bikes worth  today  . .

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

 A lot of money.

Why am I not surprised 

Have you driven a Joke? To be fair it was my wife's car, and not my choice.  It was a top of the range trim level with such things as a reversing camera, auto wipers and lights and leather and bottom of the range on performance. 
The boot was a decent size, but back seats a bit tight for 3 adults on a 6 hour journey.
Had to swap it for a car with an autobox and an electronic hand brake due to an issue with her shoulder.  Hence the mk6 Astra excite.  A more basic spec you can not get.

The B  reg polo was shite. An unreliable piece of rubbish.  It was purchased in haste, and let us down frequently.
On the other hand, replacing the engine only took me 2 days in a single car garage. Before i sold it I drilled holes in the floor to let the rain water out. Which once froze an inch deep and gradually defrosted on my way to work.
It had zero redeeming features, and I fail to understand why they have any following by VAG fans.

Re the Joke... I haven't and have no intention of ever doing so. If I were ever in the market for a clit based SUV, then I would buy a Kangoo Trekker

Re the Polo, the one I had was originally a school mate's first car that my Bro bought as his first car with 180k+ on it and no MoT. It cost £100 to get MoTd and was mostly FadedDogknob red/pink and rust.

Got nearly 18 months use out of it and cost nowt more than service parts and a second hand carb. And sold for a clear profit. You wouldn't want to crash one, but there's nothing to break on it... and that's speaking as the most anti VW/Audi person you'll ever come across 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I had one to commute 3 miles each way to work. Killed it dead in less than a year. Might not have been completely VW,s fault though. 

[Rangie]

Had an X reg Polo from new wasn't a bad little car seemed well built & was comfortable .

[Doctor Gollum]

Had an X reg Polo from new wasn't a bad little car seemed well built & was comfortable .

That was a facelift, a model change and another facelift removed from the old sheds we had Even VW couldn't screw up that much progress

. 

Didn't really pay a lot of attention to VW models  the wife liked the look of it and for around £6000 or thereabouts it was a reasonable buy.

[BazaJT]

A couple more come to mind,
A second 1800 landcrab-an Austin this time.
Viva HC 1256cc of power
Most unreliable owned so far was the Scirocco.

[Doctor Gollum]

I think the three least reliable were the Vectra diesel, the Seat Altea (especially as it was a brand new car) and the Granada 2.8 Ghia X  The rest were all pretty good all things considered...
