My 2002 1.4tdipd Polo has disc brakes on the rear wheels why are VW fitting brake drums on the rear wheels on the latest Polos.

It's cheaper I guess ...

Too bad there wasn't an option to upgrade them to discs (besides buying the 1.9).

...there's a hidden benefit to drums you know.....cleaner wheels!! I'm loving that it's only the front wheels that need real hard work to clean! ....put drums all round I say! :D
