Exterior
The Volkswagen Polo is by far the best looking hatchback in India! This handsome looking car is as sturdy as an Ox and an absolute pleasure to drive on the highway.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
The interiors look excellent with the black & beige color theme and the instrument panel is also very neatly done. Plenty of boot space. The only drawback is cramped rear space.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
The engine is not very peppy in the city and at low speeds. Although it is totally a different feeling when u take it out on the highway. You never get the diesel engine feeling!
Fuel economy in the city (Chennai) is approx 15 kmpl and 20 kmpl on the highway.
Gearbox i would say is just average, nothing to brag about. This is very obvious especially if you have made your transition from a petrol car to a diesel vehicle recently.
Ride Quality & Handling
Ride quality & handling is excellent.
Final Words
Quality comes @ a price. Go for the VW Polo if your willing to pay for the quality.
Areas of improvement
Some of the basic features like all 4 power windows, boot light, etc should be made available with the basic (diesel - considering the cost).
Exterior looks, Mileage, VW Brand, Gr8 build and sturdiness.Lack of features (when compared to competitors), cramped rear space.
