Most Helpful Review

Good looking with good features

Only built quality is lower than Tata Nexon, average good, good look, much features, the driving experience is good, the service cost is low, easy to maintenance. the buying experience is good.

Polo is a great car

The Polo is a great buy if you won’t be using the rear seats often, and need nothing but a well-built car to tackle the daily grind Loaded with features such as automatic AC, touchscreen infotainment, auto-dimming mirror etc. Available with a variety of engine-transmission options. Build quality inside out is best-in-class. Doors close with a thunk, no trace of scratchy plastics in the interior. Clean, no-frills design looks classy and understated.
