VW Polo 1.2 Diesel Highline feels good while driving, but there is some amount of lag. i20 feels heaven and offers awesome pickup. Driver comfort and boot space is absolute nirvana in Polo as compared to i20 and it seems VW has given all of its thought on only driver comfort & boot space, and forgot/deliberated/missed to include essential features like a good 2-Din music system (with Aux & USB port), climate control in A/C, steering mounted controls, door lock system / central locking system / driver controlled child lock system, driver controlled front & rear power windows, good headlights, enough space for the rear seat passengers, and so on for the on road pricing offered by Polo which is priced as much as a topend i20 (loaded with awesome features and mind blowing looks). When you ask Polo reps a justification for the missing features, all they end up saying is that this is an executive car and hence does not include these fancy features. I was under the impression that the elite pay for value added features than otherwise, but VW reps changed my perception forever :)

But as u know Germans are high-headed and hate it when they loose. Apologies if I sound a racist, but that is not my intention neither am I that type of person. I think waiting for the new gen Swift to launch would make more sense becoz after thats launched VW would have to put together the loose ends on Polo to be competitive for the elitist price tag of the car :)

Clearly VW has to get their acts together and realize that Indian are not fools to purchase whatever is thrown at them. If u want to cater to the elite, u shud let ur prospective customers see so and not virtualize the concept of elitism :)
