I got impressed on the test drive itself. I bought it on August and now it is about to cross 6k Kms. It's very comfortable to drive specifically for long drives as per my experience. Practically we won't be revving up the whole drive. It's got a lot of power while crossing 2000 rpm and can easily overtake vehicles and really very stable even at high speeds up to 160 as I have practically experienced it by a heavy turn at 160 due a bike wala getting into middle of the road from nowhere at midnight. Coming to braking, we can trust it. I'm telling as per my experience of heavy/emergency braking. But need to be slow on wet roads
And the mileage is very good for long drives and it gives upto 25 km/l if we don't cross 100-110 the whole long drive. but it gives very low mileage in traffic.. it's giving only max 8-14 if the travel is fully through traffic. I think we can't expect more than that in a BS6 TSI petrol engine.
Coming to the interior, the quality is very good and the wired android auto is very comfortable to use. And we have control to the infotainment system and media player through the steering itself. AC is very good and the temperature changes very fast.
Disadvantages of the Polo 1.0 TSI as per my experience:
1) At highways if I want to overtake, the car doesn't give much power till it crossed 1800 RPM and gives a lot after touching 2k :)
So either have to let the car take its own time to reach 2000 RPM or downshift.
2) There not enough space to keep my right leg when the vehicle is set to cruise. But it might not be a concern for all as I'm a bit tall...
3) it's a bit hard to drive it within traffic and would need a little bit more effort for shifting gears and the steering is a bit tight when compared to Maruti Suzuki S cross and Alto that I have driven before.
4)It's rear seat leg room is very small and it might not be comfortable for senior people. It would be good enough for kids.
Finally, I say as per my experience, I say it's a driver's car. I really love the power, control and stability of the Polo. It's really so comfortable specifically for long drives. You can really enjoy it. It would be good for youngsters and bachelors like me and might not for family as it has got lot of power while accelerating which might scare others a bit, but we love that. That to I'm telling by experience..
