Volkswagen Polo [2012-2014] User Reviews

Exterior Stylish,  attractive, Attracive colours. Very good design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Front seats are comfort, but rear seats are very low and closed to front seat, Very dificult to sat  rear seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  Very good, Fuel efficency also good to compare this segment vehicles.

Ride Quality & Handling very comfort Slite dificult to adjust the switches and knobs. Light , indicater knobs are  operated by right hand . Most of the cars in left hand operated. I Got my vehicle polo 1.2 li high line 10 days back.  I ride only few hundreds kilometers. In my experience i feel that  the vehicle is good.

Final Words Very good car.

Areas of improvement Very limited service stations in India. We expect good behavior from the show room staff and service staff. The music system attached in the car is updated model. In that set no USB port or aux cale provision. Only C D player. In the present condition carry the C D is very difficult. Most of them using USB or i pod. Improve this system.

Exterior Good exterior as like german finished. but no safety bars for Indian roads where you are more prone for scratches and dents.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good sophisticated space where you get for 1.2ltr engine car. Cockpit is good stylish. good front veiw from the drivers seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good in fuel economy. German made cars are less maintainance and good buy all the time.

Ride Quality & Handling Good handling and quality driving even in high speed.

Final Words More market price. well thats not company price its government tax paying. where you can buy any models for the half of the price we pay in india. More road tax on top of that.

Areas of improvement Always a option. it would be better if the company gives a configure option for the buyers. Comes in good stunning coluor and looks sexy as well. eye catching attraction on the street. recomends any one.

Exterior Upon looking from the outside, u can see d aerodynamic curves suited for speed(highway queen!!!), build is good incl d plastic bumper in d front, d lightings locks ur eyes onto her in d night, on d whole they say its VW design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good interiors, Digi fuel level indicator. Gear shift indicator... distance to empty, Service indicator, beep alarm, classy gear knob. Good kenwood audio system(lacks usb). But d driver should not be more than 5.5" cos u dont hav much space for tat height.. lacks auto AC😦.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance: engine never feels tired listening to u, ter is a smooth shift of gears. Fuel economy : avg 17-18 Kmpl.. in traffic 13. highway 19.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride and handling is very good.... she flexes acc to ur command.

Final Words This is a good car in tis segment... can occupy 4 freely n 5 cramply. Go for tis if u hav 800k(cosy man!!!).

Exterior No doubt it is ossom. Only problem is lot of seating space for dust and mud at the rear side.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Wonderful. Good utilization of space. Enough leg space. All the gadgets are well managed. Integrated music system is really good. Very less areas to complain. Individual door locking is must for a family car. Though the central locking prevents the door opening from outside, but there is no way you can prevent accedental door opening from inside when the vehicle is in motion. Dash board is superb.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I got the delivery just 6 days back and immidiately on weekend I had a round trip from Mumbai to Pune. Before buying the car I had a little doubt about engine performance specially for pickup as I was comparing it with Swift. No doubt Swift engine delivers more power, but Polo 1.2 is no where found underpowered. Gear shift is also ossom. I specially liked the mechanism of reverse gear - Push down to the position of 1st gear. Fuel economy is too early to comment on.

Ride Quality & Handling Mind blowing ride quality. Earlier, I have been driving Maruti 800. Driving from Mumbai to Pune was hectic some times if we go without halt. Driving Polo never make me feel of halt during journey.

Final Words No doubt, after all its German engineering which makes POLO ossom. But bringing car over Indian roads requires some modifications.

Areas of improvement Door Lock is must. The bonnet could be a bit smaller. There should be some provision so that rats dont enter inside the bonnet and spoil the wiring.

Exterior The Polo has got excellent builtups. It has got stylish indicators, very attractive trunk opener, very attractive aerodynamics shape. It makes a style statement in the crowd.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It is Very spacious, and has got excellent boot space. It has a very good quality of plastics used in side. Its seats are very good quality and shape, gives great comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It has got excellent engine performance. It isvery comfortable in the city traffic & very powerful on the highways. But the fuel economy is average (13 in city/ 15 on highways) compared to Suzuki cars.

Ride Quality & Handling It gives very good riding experience. Further it is very quiet and features like tilted+telescopic steering gives you real comfort. Its center console is within reach of driver, gives excellent handling experince.

Final Words It is a great experince driving Polo and real good piece of German engineering.

Areas of improvement More optional features like ABS are desired in basic model as well.

I am the Owner of the Volkswageb POLO. The moment it was launched in INDIA, made up my mind to buy it. Today I am the Proud owner of a Volkswagen Product and happy for it. Volkswagen is such a Brand which is famous for it luxury car making and is almost Equivalent to BMW.s, AUDI's. The Main Criteria for Purchasing it is that it is a VW product, German Engineering. Which gives u Long Life, Standard, Reliability. There are loads of Vechiles in this segment in india, but to go with VW is different. Awesome vechile 3 Cyclinder engine generating 4 cyclinder engine power, which is quite different and the mileage varies with  the persons. I witnessed 17 kmpl. Coming to the Servicing, the Servicing is for once in every 15000kms. ( Even 1st servicing comes only after 15000kms).

Some times We Need to Go with the Brand, The Brand Speaks Everything. Final Word Just a Brand Value.

Exterior Exterior looks awesome infact, the complete sports vechile feel. Close to the ground, and the vechile being not so tall enogu which makes the vechile looks splendidly in terms of exteriors.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors difficult to Say. Less Rear Boot Space, the seating is in that way that u can lean back comfortably even in the rear seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performace: Good, fuel Economy = Good, Gear Box = good.

Exterior Fantastic no doubt which pulls me for repeated test drive.😇I was possibiliy convencing me to book this car and hence opt to check Cons is really matters to me and yes it does matter finally.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent, but car is made for 2 adults and 2 kids Car for back seat.back pessanger space will lead this car to revise like Swift old .Under thigh support for back seat is not generious.Reversing is a challenges even with parking sensor.Back visor inside should be double than present to see back.plastic quality is like skoda superb and like rough & tough, not like korean/japenese car.lacks features in mid variant, looks 2012 polo will have more but to check anything imrpoved for back passenger.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 75bhp is good, no lag due to AC full on-off, linear pick-up along with engine noise.Enginer at starting gives a jurk, noise and then become silent and again starts Rorring like a racing car as RPM increasing in riding as feels sitting in a diesel.smooth gear box,short throw.

Ride Quality& Handling Excellent than any one available in India.

Final Words Great outlook, interior excellent but may land up in deal breaker because of Engine noise, back pessanger space.if going for 3 year replacement of car it's ok to go ahead. FE with easy riding is 11-12km/l, with my kind of driving on aggerisive it gives 8-9 km/lt.

Areas of improvement Engine noise, Back pessanger space, cental locking like european not as indian car, driver power window not having all window control, boot provided too large makes it back pessanger space really constraints, back passenger center high bulging hump, Audio Bass not the best expected, no AUx,USB in Audio.😳 Oops many...

A Indian customer voice to be redefined and to be deployed in Polo further.

Cluch too high, city driving will not be good. No dead pedal.😢

Exterior Without any dought this is the best looking hatch we have in the country. Not only it is best looking hatch no other hatch can match its build quality by far. It lloks bigger car unlike other hatchs.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Simple yet stylish cabin. Drivers seat is very comfortable and enough for 5.9. It could have some more space for small stuffs around driver seat. USB and AUX is a big miss. The rear passanger seat is bit cramped but it make out by very big boot and quite airy and comfortable cabin. The quality of material, fit and finish is worth to mention about interior it is unmatch at least for the segment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is frugal and responsive. It pull fairly even in 3rd gear in city. It may not be powerfull but i think the overall pick up is very good at least better than i-20. Gearbox again no match.  This is the best petrol gearbox by far i used, very sleek and shifting is a joy.

Ride Quality & Handling I think  the handling and the ride comfort of this car is something which can make shame to some of higher segment cars forget about hatchs. The steering is very very smooth and communicative. Far better to swift/ritz/i-20. Riding in city less then 30 km/h you may find its suspension a bit hard but once you get speed and cross 50-60 this car starts cruising. It absorb everything to offer a great ride.

Final Words Just go for it and this car will not dissapoint you. It is a completely drivers delight.

Areas of improvement 1. USB and AUX is needed.

2. Rear passanger space should have been a bit better.

Exterior Very Good, Infact there is no comparison with other hatchbacks. Full marks for exterior looks as far as I am conserned.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quality of interiors is very good as compared to Maruti brand cars and Tatas. Driving seat is firm and very comfortable. Adjutable Steering Feature even in basic model is very useful, specially for long drives. Dashboard display has all the basic features displayed like clock, distance to empty, fuel guage, tripmeter, door ajar warning, etc ...all in digital form.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gears are very-very smooth. Reverse gear can be engaged only by keeping the gear knob slightly pressed down while shifting it to extreme left & forward. There is no chance of engaging reverse gear by mistake when the car is moving.

Engine gives diesel cluter initially, specially in lower gears. However, their is hardly any noice after the engine is warmed up and you shift to 4-5 gear. The car accelerate smoothly. However, acceleration is slightly lower as compared to Swift , specially in 5th gear if the speed is 60 kmph or lower. Infact you have to shift to 4th if driving below 55 kmph. It accecelates well above 70 kmph. But that is ok for normal driving. In city driving you have to drive mostly in 2-3 gear and on highway, speed is normally above 70. So, it is not a big drawback.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent. There is no comparison with Swift, Dzire, Indica and Huyndai. You don't realise that you are driving at 100 kmph till U see the speedo. Suspension and shocker system is too good. You don't get the shocks even on rough roads. Noice insulation is very good as compared to Swift and most of the other cars.

There is no ratalling noice or tyre noice  in the car. Also, the steering is very light and comfortable.

I am getting around +20 kmpl with city+ highway driving with AC on for 80 to 90 % time. The car has done 2370 km in the last 2 months.

Final Words Buy it if you want a quality product and are willing to pay more for the same.

Areas of improvement No of service centres and coa\st of servicing & spares.
