1) Exterior Fabulous exterior design and build quality. The paint job is just top notch and it feels very solid. If you compare the doors to those of Swift, I20 Elite etc, you feel as solid as Hulk.
2) Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The features are similar to what you get in similar classed cars. I own the comfortline, which does not have the reverse parking sensor, which you can get fitted from a VW dealer for Rs. 4,500. So not a big deal. One thing I feel it should have had, is an alert for not wearing seat belts. Which is does not have and is very suprising to come from VW who pay utmost importance to safety.
Space wise, it is slightly cramped at the back, but thats only felt when the front seats are moved behind quite a lot. The seats & seating position are amazing.
The audio system is great, and me being a musician, that very important for me.
3) Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox A german car is always going to give you a great engine, and a buttery gearbox. Fuel economy is slightly less. I get 11.5-12 kmpl in city traffic and 14-17 kmpl on highways, which Iwont say is bad, but certainly not the best.
4) Ride Quality & Handling The pick up is slightly less as compared to a few cars like the Swift, but that is understandable because of almost 10 BHP less power you get on the Polo than what other cars in the class offer, and also the 3 cyl engine. I feel VW can improve upon that and give it a slightly more powerful engine. However, once the car is on to the 2nd gear, it cruises like a beauty. Even at high speeds you dont feel unstable.
5) Maintainence Cost Yes, the cost of servicing is almost Rs. 9,000-10,000/Servicing, but lets also consider the fact that the Polo needs to be serviced only once a year/15,000 Kms (which ever is earlier), unlike other cars that need servicing twice or even thrice a year. So it basially comes to the same cost. When someone says, "The maintenance cost Is High" please dont fall for it.
6) Final Words Overall a great car and definately value for money.
7) Areas of improvement Little more power on the engine and improved leg room at the back.
