A beast with value for money which never let you down

if will talk about the price that one will get it higher but don't worry it is value for money car... as the quality of parts and body including engine is like you will not get in any other brand under this price range. smooth drive experience with some sporty trends. yeah but when it comes to service and maintenance, it takes little bit more than other cars but you will not regret as it offers premium quality of drive and life with proper maintainance. the only con is it takes maintainance which is little higher everything else except maintainance I would like to count as pro from my driving experience to build up quality.

Great Car

<p>I bought this car 1 month before &amp; currently done 2100 km.</p> <p><strong>Exterior</strong></p> <p>Cross polo is a rugged version of the normal polo. This car got excellent looks - with</p> <p>1) New type grills</p> <p>2) Front, back &amp; side cladding in high quality plastic</p> <p>3) The alloy wheels is new design and looks really great,</p> <p>4) Alloy roof rails.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong></p> <p>Some may feel that space is less. Till now i didnt get the feel (i am 170 cm).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong></p> <p>Engine is smooth with great gear shift ratio. Turbo is kicked once the odo cross 2000 rpm. Since i drive in city and mostly in B2B traffic, there is nothing to do with power.</p> <p>For long drives, the car is great in terms of stabiliy &amp; handling, builds good level of confidence in the driver. I have read lot of reviews saying that the car is underpowered with the 3 pot engine, but i never had&nbsp;the feel with 4+1 persons. Even while overtaking the car showed some bone.</p> <p>Inside the city, i am getting 14-15 kmpl including crusing in bumper to bumber traffic. For long drives, the car delivers a mileage of 18-19. All the figures are with the AC running.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong></p> <p>The suspension is a bit on the stiffer side, but rocks.</p> <p>For long drives, the car is great in terms of stabiliy &amp; handling, builds good level of confidence in the driver. I have read lot of reviews saying that the car is underpowered with the 3 pot engine, but i never had&nbsp;the feel with 4+1 persons. Even while un-planned overtaking&nbsp;i never felt that the engine is 1.2.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong></p> <p>The car is really awesome from my point of view. But, some may feel that the same is slightly over-priced.</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The tyres are a great problem for this car. My tyre burst on the 2nd day of purchase, after falling into a ditch, which i had to pay 4000+ from my pocket. The tyres should have been Michellene or Coninental instead of Apollo.</p> <p>The boot space is great, but the same could have been reduced a bit and provide more room for the rear passengers.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>Volkswagen's built & quality, looks, exceptional handling, sturdyness, mileage, driveability, brandSpace can be an issue for people with height > 6 feet
