    Value for Money

    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    I bought this car 1 month before & currently done 2100 km.

    Exterior

    Cross polo is a rugged version of the normal polo. This car got excellent looks - with

    1) New type grills

    2) Front, back & side cladding in high quality plastic

    3) The alloy wheels is new design and looks really great,

    4) Alloy roof rails.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    Some may feel that space is less. Till now i didnt get the feel (i am 170 cm).

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    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.

    For long drives, the car is great in terms of stabiliy & 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 the feel with 4+1 persons. Even while overtaking the car showed some bone.

    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.

     

    Ride Quality & Handling

    The suspension is a bit on the stiffer side, but rocks.

    For long drives, the car is great in terms of stabiliy & 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 the feel with 4+1 persons. Even while un-planned overtaking i never felt that the engine is 1.2.

     

    Final Words

    The car is really awesome from my point of view. But, some may feel that the same is slightly over-priced.

    Areas of improvement  

    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.

    The boot space is great, but the same could have been reduced a bit and provide more room for the rear passengers.
