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.
Comfort, Style, Space UtilizationNo individual door locks, too much empty space in bonnet
