Agreed!!

I wish Fiat launched the real Abarth Punto in India. I always loved the looks of old Grande Punto.

Polo = Looks + lot of mod potential

The Polo gt Tsi, IMO is one of the most modified cars and is so much fun to drive.
I have installed the gti steering wheel with paddle shifts. The steering feel is different and paddle shifts is a thing to be experienced.
Tyre upgrade improves handling.

Cosmetic and Performance upgrades without voiding warranty is what makes modding exciting.

So here's your wake up call.

Action is the magic word.
Hopefully you get the Polo gt Tsi.😀

Good to hear about this. I wish to drive a remapped Polo GT TSI with paddle shift wheel. Any member in this forum has it? .

Re: Best Hatchback for an Enthusiast - Under 14 lakhs (with mods)

I just happened to come across this 5 year old thread of mine .

I was really looking for a good hatch then as a project car to modify and have fun. Time flies and today I am happily driving a Maruti Cross Over modified to a big hatchback with 200+ hp
