Master winner on the road

<p><strong>Exterior</strong>&nbsp;The Italian design is superb and head-turning. The headmaps are eye-catching. The red stripes look good on black colour but on the white they seem to be gaudy and loud.</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong>&nbsp;Space and comfort are excellent. Sound system is excellent in clarity. The feel is big-car like and confidence raising on the highway.&nbsp;The safety features like SRS airbags, black ambience etc. upto the mark.</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong>&nbsp;The real master of the show in this car is its powerful engine. It is really hot performer. There is no coarseness at any speed. It can compete with any three box car of 25 lac value. The engine has been made for real enthusiasts. Naturally that 145 bhp elephant will ask for more fuel. The ARAI fuel economy is 16.3 kmpl but in the real world situation it is absurd. If you are too much concerned with fuel economy, don't look at this car. This type of performer cannot be considered on this ground.</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong>&nbsp;Praise... praise... praise. Nothing else. I drove this car on Pune-Mumbai expressway at 170 kmph. Even at that pace the speed is not perceived. The rock-solid stablility of this car is highly commendable. The old-school hydraulic steering is really made by God. It gives you excellently perfect feedback. People have complained about the gearbox but there is no problem. One can live with it. In the course of time and operation it gets improved. Everything depends on our attitude. Even the 'one crorewala cars' are not perfect. FIAT has provided disc brakes ok all fours with a good reason. The controlling is top-notch.</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong>&nbsp;This is a driver's car. We cannot expect much in the amount we pay for it. It is a real value for money car. You cannot enjoy driving this car on all Indian roads but on open highways it is a fun in driving and result in smile on your face.</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong>&nbsp;Gear-box, clutch, ORVM.</p>The engine performance, space, interior, 16 inch alloy wheels, ride and handling, sturdiness,some ergonomic issues, fuel economy

Speed Car

It is one of the car which I always want, it's fully loaded with safety and stylish feature. It's mileage is 17-19 in city which completely satisfy me. It's Suspension is awesome. Baleno rs is speedy and smooth running car. Only facing problems in getting some accessories such as car cover, side mud etc.

Polo gt tsi ownership review after driving 20k kilometers

<p><strong>Exterior</strong>&nbsp;Really simple,ageless design with best quality of color.Cool double headlights, crom on front bumper just adds to premiumness. Metal Sheet used in design is quite strong this only you can feel when you compare with any other cars.</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong>&nbsp;Such a high quality interior materials used are of high quality.since I owned 2015model I was disappointed for not having reverse parking camera. Steering is leather wrapped and gives you a very good feel which I personally never experienced non vw brands.and even after two years this interior is at its best not a single complaint about interior.</p> <p>Front seats are best</p> <p>At rear bench there is not waist support so under high acceleration it is quite uncomfortable.if front seaters doesn't even feel anything but if someone at rear you better accelerate slowly.</p> <p>Boot space is also enough no complains on that front.</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong>&nbsp;The one of the biggest reason to buy this machine is engine and gearbox. You will never feel underpower. Gearbox shift are so crisp and unnoticed. Sport mode is best for enthusiast.</p> <p>And if driven sensibly it returns fuel efficiency up to 17 also. There will be smile on your face everyday on your face because of dsg gearbox and fabulous engine. More you drive more you happier.</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong>&nbsp;If roads are smooth with very small bad patches then it &nbsp;behave like leech just stick to road no matter what is the speed. If there are worse roads then you will hear some unpleasant noises from suspensions. Really not happy with suspensions on bad roads though there is not any problems to pessangers but this is small flaw.</p> <p>Ride is best in class.</p> <p>Steering connects you with road directly.and easy and light. Really quite in cabin.no noise protrude in cabin.i don't want to take any competitors names but this car is way ahead in this department from it's all competitors.</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong>&nbsp;Want to avoid hectic driving in traffic go for automatic polo gt is the best.half of the frustrations will stay away.</p> <p>Have cruse control</p> <p>Traction control</p> <p>Abs airbags</p> <p>Hill assist</p> <p>Bluetooth</p> <p>Climate control</p> <p>Overall with DSG n turbo petrol this car is best to drive in traffic as well as highways. On twisty roads,on hills you can experience the class between driving the car and enjoying the ride.</p> <p>Best suitable for family of four n a kid. I have seen so many reviews about service cost and all but it is not so expensive.atleast for 20000 km I have spent around 10k and next service is on 30k.so you can calculate.</p> <p>Drive safely don't bang car here and there then you don't have to spend a lot. Though parts are expensive if goes for replacement.</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong>&nbsp;Performance of suspensions really needs to be improve on bad patches. Rear seat leg room. Which is not a big problem as of now but it will be better if this thing improved.</p>Engine ,gearbox, quality interior,overall built qualitySuspensions on bad road,rear seat space
