Volkswagen Polo News

After having a maruti 800, A santro and then getz, Which arguably all three were a brilliant options for a family car in their own times, We decided to opt for a performance c*m family car that not only looks brilliant but lets you enjoy the performance factor of a machine.Yes we opted for the volkswagen polo, An epitome of performance hatchback when it comes to be named to.We did buy the 1.2 comfotrline, For budgetary option, Although i wish i could have taken the gt.The car has, No doubt, Been the reason for me to smile more than ever.For one the polo is just an eye catcher and then people know that it is one hell of a classic performer, With its dedicated lines designed to run fast and keep the car glued on road.I do remember touching the likes of 170kmph, Although i immediately slowed down after looking the needle touching the mark.Then i came to know from a volkswagen executive that the car can touch 210, But is restricted, 'damnnnn the india rules'.With the car giving back a happy 18-22kms per ltr over the highway, Now all that hype of a wonderful car does overshadow a few setbacks.Like the mileage in city is a blahhh 12kms per ltr, I know we have the traffic to blame, But then the car does underperform in city.(definitely the car is made to revvvv).Then the space issues for the back seat, Unless you are a 5.5 fellow driving the car the space would be good enough, But the moment a person with tall legs steps in the front seats, The person behind has to crunch it.Nonetheless the body, The finish, The performance for that matter is the thing one has to and i repeat has to buy a polo, Because it's not only the name its the experience that lets you know that you have a polo.

It's been 5 Years I have been driving this car. You get to used to it so much ,that you start feeling the other cars are not up to the mark. Not to mention, quality, the heavy yet light to handle, easy manoeuvring, safety are the best features. You may feel the mileage to be a little low in the city, but when you hit the road, easy 22-23 kmpl when you maintain speed of 100-120kmph. But you may drop down to 19-20kmpl over 140kmph. I personally have touched 170kmph easy till now and the control it awesome.When I first thought of buying it, was a little sceptical, but now.. believe me, if I change I may go back to the same as it"s sets your expectations to a standard, and you, without realising will start expecting the same quality and standards in other cars. Thank you Volkswagen for this go to car. Expect your golf in India soon.

i have been using the car since last 7 year and particularly since last three year my daily commute is around 100km/day. car was run so far 75k km and most of the 90% driving done through country side road like pot holes,speed breaker,ups and downs. Vehicle handling,control and comfort in this road was good. indeed my driving was bot rough, so i have replaced the shocks system in FR and RE as well. Mileage i am getting it 15.5km/liter for petrol. Maintenance in service center is bit disappointing as cost is overly priced. So go far outside garage and use the spare from Boodmo which will help to reduce the cost... rest all are okay. So far i am looking far a change but unable to get a replacement for POLO.

Recently I mate with an accident with one dog in the NH16, my Radiator, Carrier, Grille, Vent, Coolant leakage, it has cost 17K in the showroom and after I got repaired in VW Showroom in Vijaywada after 50 km drive again my car temperature increased to 125 Centigrade and now some issue in Engine due to leakage of Coolant in the engine. And the day before yesterday I handover my vehicle to VW Visakhapatnam showroom and now they are giving an estimation of around INR 3 lakhs 39 thousand. I am fully fed up with this vehicle and the company. Someone can help me to know how much will be the cost to repair the engine?

I am driving VW Polo Petrol Highline for the last 7 years and I am very satisfied with the performance. It's fun to drive and a safe car. Unmatched pickup and comfort. Drive enthusiastic will definitely love it. I am doing servicing at VW authorised showroom once a year and proud to say my car has not failed any time on roads. That's the beauty of German design. My Polo saved me in a near-miss accident where the car stopped in 3 sec at speed of 80km/hr.
