Safety at a price

I must say am very disappointed with the interior design. I had heard of it’s german pedigree and was impressed to learn of its powerful engine, fluid design and sturdy nature in case of collision. And so went to the showroom ready to pay the extra bucks for a quality car. Then as I tried the car realised. that the legroom in rear is pathetic and cramped.

The front seat is so close that it’s difficult to keep the knee straight for the rear passenger and this is for someone who is 5’ 7 “. Taller people will have to squirm to keep their legs relaxed. It’s like traveling in an overcrowded bus.

May be its designed from a European perspective where back seaters are usually kids. That’s not the expectation in India where grandfather, uncle, aunty all travel together. Good luck VW Polo. Time to customise your vehicle for Indian conditions.
