Good Value for Money!

Exterior Excellent looks. VW badge adds lot of value. Great color (I took Red and the Red on POLO looks much better the Red on other hatch back cars.). Strong built body, I feel it everytime I open and close the doors :).

I love the black color plastic piece between the doors which comes with the car. In many other cars it comes with body color and to get that sporty and edgy look we need to get it done as part of accessories. Anti corrossion paint layer under the body comes from the factory it self, we don't need to get it done for extra money like Maruti cars. This is a very important and thoughtful feature for Indian roads.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Superior when compared to cars in this class. Great quality and we get a double tone colored interiors right from the Trendline model.

Extremely good power steering. We can actually handle with two fingers. Feels so effortless while driving and manuevering in city traffic and a delight on highways. Excellent control and comfort while turning. Precision is high. Steering's telescopic and tilt adjustment feature comes from Trendline model itself, again unlike many other cars in this class. Excellent grip offered by the steering. There is actually no need of the steering cover accessory.

Spacious rear seat and it is very ergonomically designed. I observed that even when I come to zero speed from around 40 kmph in 2 seconds, people sitting in the rear don't really know it. They are properly rested. Height adjustable head rests on the rear seat feature starts from Trendline itself.

Front two doors have power windows. Unlike many other cars this feature is offered right from Trendline. I know Skoda Fabia's base variant does not offer powwer windows. We need to spend another 50K and move to the next variant to get power windows.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good. But some might feel it little noisy from 0-40 kmpl. But after 40 it is just awesome. The gear box is awesome, feels like butter.. 😊.

When car was new, it was little hard for the reverse gear, but it was just the new car thing, after couple of days, it got smoothened and I love the pull it has for the reverse gear. We don't need to give accelerator even when there is a little gradient on the reverse movement. Extremely spacious boot space.

Ride Quality & Handling I am so happy for buying Polo after test driving, researching on many cars in this class just for the "Ride quality" It is just AWESOME!!! We don't feel tired at all even when we are driving in the city traffic. I am just flat for this 😊. I drive about 50 km per day and I don't feel tired at all. This is exactly where I feel it is a good value for money. I got all these with complete accessories for Rs. 6.9 L. On the other hand, my earlier preference Swift has very few features, space is less, boot space doest not exist almost, ride quality is not great, interiros are mediocre and Maruti being very stubborn on prices. It is just the hype, in my opinion, that they want to cash, no offers, no accessories provided and no good care for potential buyers.

Final Words I drove 2500 KM so far. I am very happy with my choice. 3 more people bought it with my experience. It is giving me 15.5 kmpl mileage now. I feel this is the only feature on which it has to take back seat in comparison with other cars in this class. But that is very well compensated with marvellos ride quality, and comfort.

Areas of improvement Mileage is what it has to omprove. And a very important thing that VW has to quickly do, to make it the best choice, is to have an optional accessory of Remote central lock. It has a manual central lock. But remote comes only for Highline now which is factory fitted. And VW does not approve Auto cops or some other accessory. The car is digital and we would be interfering with its main funtions if we get it done outside. This is one serious drawback in my opinion.

Good looks, excellent ride quality, big boot spaceLittle noisy from 0-40 kmph, fuel economy is little less compared to other cars
