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
