Good Fuel Efficiency and smooth driving experience , perfect for small family or middle class family.

Fall in love with VW Polo

Pros: 1. 13th year in running and still gives a smooth experience. 2. Very Sturdy. German engineering after all. Cons: 1. Mileage could be a little better. Indian roads and traffic after all. 2. Have troubles with ac vents. Need replacement every 2 years.
