 FUN STARTS AFTER 1800RPM. AWESOME POWER IN DIESEL. I AM REALLY ENJOYING SMOOTH RIDE QUALITY WHICH CAN BE ONLY IN VW CARS. FEELS LIKE ANY LUXURY SEDAN DRIVING. OTHER CARS HAVE EVERY 5000KMS SERIVE IT HAVE 15000KMS SERVICE.

Ride Quality & Handling

 TOP SPEED DRIVE ON 175KM/HR VERY VERY NICE GRIP ON EXPRESSWAY WITH SO HIGHER SPEED. I THINK NO OTHER HATCHBACK CAR CAN HAVE THIS TYPE SPEED AND GRIP WITH CONTROL..I TOOK TEST DRIVE OF ALL CARS OF THIS SEGMENT IN DIESEL BUT DID NOT GET SATISFACTION LIKE A POLO WITH OTHER CARS. IF YOU HAVE BUDGET THEN SURELY YOU SHOULD GO FOR POLO DIESEL. KING OF THE ROAD CAR.

Final Words

 VERY VERY GOOD CAR. ENJOYING IT TOO MUCH EVERYDAY.

Exterior

This looks awesomehat his hatch is truly German and it is reflected from its look. Solid build , simple yet stylish.              

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 As soon as you enter in the car it looks awesome . Class is the word that comes out as soon as you see the cabin. It is not flashy but elegant. The space is a bit less at the back. It also misses out at some of the must features for this segment and at this price point.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 it's performance is good, the pickup is nice and pulls nicely. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Pure driving pleasure,awesome. The sheer driving pleasure at this price point is something the German is appreciated for. The handling of this car is just like expensive and bigger cars. The steering is very smooth and the gear is butter smooth. Ride quality is the one of the biggest plus for Volkswagen polo. 

Final Words

 if you love to drive and like the quality this is the car for you.

 USB should have been given.

Long Term use: 20,000 KM

Exterior The car has proven itself on different situations and circumstances. Very good performace in city, highway and also on rough road or countryside roads or no roads. The body of the vehicle is still as elegent as it was when first took it our of the showroom.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Trendline has nothing inside, just the durable long lasting stuff to give you immense satisfaction. Yes inside everything is the same as it was. amazingly everytime i enter the car it gives me the same feeling as if the car is new.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Ok so now with more than 20,000 Km, i feel the engine has shown a great improvement, reaching 100 Kmph is fun and driving at 145 Kmph is as great as driving at 80Kmph. Trust me people this vehicle is very stable, i frequently travel on highway and i often drive at 140- 145 Kmph speed, the stability is amazing.

Highway fuel economy is: 17 + Kmpl; City: 11.5- 12 Kmpl

Ride Quality & Handling So this is the forte of the vehicle, amazing ride quality and handling. Ya but with 5 adults and boot fully loaded sometimes when you oversee the speedbreakers you will hear your suspensions working hard. But amazing driving experience.

Final Words Am satisfied with the vehicle, it is like this if you want to experience the greatest handling, ride quality in the segment which is bundelled with amazingly durable interiors and exteriors, this is the car to go with, the engine is not very powerful but it is definetly peppy enough to get that smile on your face. Also if you wish that five adults fit in easily- no no no that is nighmare with polo. Good for 4 guys.

Areas of improvement Rear leg room is very less, motor makes lot of noise after 4k engine revolutions(150 kmph). Rear suspension too soft.

Final Words I purchased one Polo trendline diesal in the month of Feb, 2012 with extended warranty of two years in addition to two years from the company.  Once in a middle of a journey the engine seized and we called the help line, they towed the vehicle for checking.  Another day I was informed that my car got an accident with a stone below the engine and a part is damaged and will cost about Rs. 19,000/- for repair and the cost will have to be paid by the owner, this will not be covered in warranty.  The remarkable note was the front bumper, which was the lowest part of the car is not touched and the stone damaged a vital part of the engine and mobile was leaked and engine seized.  Any way I repaired the car in my own cost, and while having a test drive, I was informed the tourbo of the vehicle is also damaged and will cost about Rs. 39,000 all together approx. 58,000.  I was shocked but had to pay the bill.

Areas of improvement NA.

Exterior, Driving comfort.Very bad ground clearance for Indian roads.

Exterior Build Quality is excellent. Fit and finish impeccable. No other cars in the price range can match with Polo in terms of build quality, fit and finish. Paint quality is very good. Enough ground clearance.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quality of materials used Brilliant. The front seats are very good and ideal for long drives. Back seat a bit less inclined. The boot is enough to load a lot of luggage. Less features inside for this segment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engines available in the car are the best in the segment. The noise is well insulated.. but the vibration is there in gear lever.

Ride Quality & Handling Very safe and smooth. Good shockups. Efficient brakes.

Final Words  If you are looking for style along with performance it is a good buy even for its high price. But beware of supply line. I am driving highline polo diesel in Raipur since 8 months. They took almost three months to deliver the vehicle that too after numerous complaints including pehredar. After sales service has same problems. Parts not readily available. Your vehicle will be grounded for months together if you met a accident. The manufacturing capacity of company is limited. So decision is between driving an excellent vehicle and contracting with a irresponsible company.

Areas of improvement Manufacturing capacity of parts, responsible customer care services, choosing honest dealers at city level.

Good exteriors, Good style, Good Engine, Fuel economy ok, good boot spaceInteriors not very good, average space, more price less features

Exterior The Polo is one of the most good looking hatchbacks in the market. This review is for Trendline Petrol, so it misses the body colored door handles and ORVMs but no issues. I have it in red and the paintwork is good. I will probably upgrade the halogen lights to LED, they're weak.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I purchased the base model but with a clear idea that I wanted to accessorize it myself (and its cheaper!), and I think I made a good decision. Air conditioning is good, though I sometimes wish they could have thrown in climate control! The glove box is spacious, and plenty of nooks and crannies to store bottles and things. The dash doesn't look cluttered.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Initially the gearbox was tough but its become very comfortable. I'd like to think i'm a patient driver, so my gear shifts are smooth and slow, and I don't need to speed up and overtake constantly. Sometimes I do feel the pick up is slow. The mileage has been good given the horror stories i've heard from many reviewers, and has given me a generous 14-16 km with minimal AC use. In the past two summer months, the mileage has come down to 11-13, but with heavy AC usage.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is quite good, and I am quite satisfied. My previous car didn't have power steering, so i love to have that! The new Polo come with driver height adjustment as well, mine doesnt have it, but i don't miss it at all. I think the view from the drivers seat is quite good overall. The different way to reverse took a little while to bring into habit.

Final Words I am from Mumbai and Mumbaikars it seems have taken a liking to this car, considering the number of Polos I see around me. I did a lot of research when I was buying a hatchback, and frankly, my initial assessment was that rupee to rupee, the Polo offered more options and features compared to the Swift and i20. What actually sealed the deal was the low interest rate offered by VW Finance on my car loan.

Areas of improvement I've had the hatch for 6 months now, and its running smoothly (though it has a few bumps and scratches, with and without my contribution).

I haven't had a chance to take the car to the VW garage yet, and so if there are any horror stories there, i'll revisit my review. VW parts are quite expensive, and considering its built in India, they can consider bringing them down (compete with Maruti :-) ).

Style, large bootLittle crampy in the back

Best in its class looks and  build quality. Bought on Sept 10th.

Premium Interiors, All features are available nothing to complain about. Little time taking to get familier with.

Good pickup at low speed and feel in control even at top speed. City got 16kmpl not been to long drive . Quit easy to park. Park assist is useful too.

Best ride quality. I have Ford Fusion  too and feel much better to drive. I have driven Petrol all the time but when I switched to this car really didn't feel and dificulty.

Its little on higher side on price in its segment but much better quality car.

For the lenghth of this car, rear space would have been better. The right side front wiper doesn't fold fully. I had noticed this issue before buying but its not big issue. Somehow the fogging doesn't go that easility which I noticed during recent rains. Rear view is poor too.

Exterior

Nice and attractive exterior. I had compared this one with new micra (Nissan) and I20. finally i booked Polo specially due to VW image in market.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Not comoftable (but acceptable), specially space is not enough. I would have appreciated more if its height and space more by 2- 3 inches. CD player does not have usb or Bluetooth. it is important features.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

VW engine is always good. just bought, not got delivery yet, expecting good perfomance. it is fuel economy. good milage specially when car is heavy compare to other small cars.  Gearbox is standard like rest of the cars.

 

Final Words

Worth to buy this car or i would not have gone for it. i had compared with many other small cars and if VW is expensive by rs.50,000 - 100,000 compare to other small car, this one is still better specially due its toughness. you really feel doors and other body parts are tougher then any other small cars.

 

Areas of improvement  

Space and height required 2-3 inch more. more accessories (choice should be provide to end customers).
