    Exterior

    The best looking premium hatchback in the country in current scenario. It looks killer with the new smoked headlamps [only available in highline trim]. White colour has ruled all VW cars so as Polo. New 10 spoke alloy wheels add more sportiness to the looks. VW provides best paint quality with 6yrs anti corrosion warranty.😊

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    The 2013/14 Model of Polo is Best equiped compared to all polo's from its launch in Indian Market with marginal price increase which does not matter if you consider the VW badge. The Black & Beige interior just adds elegance to the car and you wud not feel claustophobic while seating in Polo. Interior quality is the best amongst all hatches. It just feels so rock solid & Long lasting. The ''THUD'' sound from the doors give a assurance of the strong long lasting build quality of the car. VW has exceptionally given all small touches to the interiors.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    Yes !!!! there is slight turbo lag till 1800 rpm BUT the engine so smooth that its super fun to drive the TDI mill 😄. Polo Diesel is best decision i have taken in terms of engine smoothness and overall driving experience. The fuel economy is 17-18 kmpl in city and 21-22 kmpl on highways with 100% a/c. Gearbox is slick and short, easy to hold and engage gears.

    Ride Quality & Handling

    Nobody can beat Polo in the premium hatchback category as far as Ride Quality & Handling is concerned bcoz its the forte of Volkswagen cars. VW has interestingly increased the ground clearance of Polo which helps the car to glide easily without touching the humps on bad roads.

    Final Words

    I have driven around 1500kms til date and believe me there is always a smile on my face whwnever i have driven polo diesel. If you need mileage, build quality, steadiness, rock solid interior, superb driving experience with good ride quality and handling with a premium badge..this is the car ! 

    Areas of improvement  

     >  20-30% High maintenance cost comapred to competitors like  Maruti, Honda, Hyundai & Toyota.

    > Middle Row Hump needs improvement as it restrcits 5th occupant for long trips

    > Headlight Bulbs are under powered neeeds a replacement

    > VW can provide Alloy Wheel for spare tyre also in the highline trim.😕

    Exterior looks, interior , ride quality, smooth diesel engine, steering, overall build of the carrear seat, high maintenance compared to competitors, middle axle hump
