Congratulations on your acquisition, The Polo is a timeless classic. I own one too and in my opinion it's got to be the most solidly built car in the segment. I bought it in 2015 and was planning on changing it since it has been with us for 5 years but honestly I couldn't find anything to replace it with and decided to keep it for atleast another 3 years. Mine is a 1.2 MPI, it feels a little under powered but is perfect for the city runs.

It returns 12-13 kmpl in the city which has actually increased overtime, I was initially getting between 9 and 10.
Maintenance has been hassle free, I've been getting it serviced at Elite Motors and it's been great. They provide pick up drop services and are very professional. I would highly recommend them.

Wish you many years of fun, safe and trouble-free ownership.

Congratulations buddy! A very happy moment to see a Reflex Silver Polo with the new tiny yet beastly 1.0 TSI. Very excited in anticipation of all the new adventures you shall have with this beast.

When I took a test drive, I personally loved the 6 Speed Manual and it doesn't mask the potential of this explosive rev friendly engine unlike the Automatic variant which I'm driving. I'm sure you're going to have a blast with this car. After all, it is a timeless machine with incredible mod potential. We're waiting for a proper photoshoot

A refreshing change of color choice for the Polo! Haven't seen many Polos in this shade.

Congrats on the purchase and hope you enjoy many miles of trouble-free motoring

OT, the dealer attitude is kind of irritating and personally would have avoided doing business with them. Feels like they are doing us a favor and not vice versa. But since you had your constraints it is understandable.

Also, is there any difference between the GT version and Highline? I understand they come with the same tune of engine now.

I want to install one near the number plate as the flip up one seems a bit pricey and complex. any suggestion on which camera I should get?

Thank you. I'll be putting out detailed pictures as soon as the weather cooperates with me.

The GT only comes with the torque converter 6 speed autobox, while the highland plus comes with the manual or automatic. You should definitely check out FluidicJoy's GT ownership review for a better idea.

There are many in the market, my brother-in-law recently used a Blaupunkt one. Please get one with grid lines & Composite Video output.

Any competent installer would be able to route the wiring from the hatch to the RCD 340G unit.

Congrats for your new ride. The timeless VW design coupled with VW Silver (I personally feel VW does silver the best on a budget) makes for one hell of a stunner . Wishing you many happy and safe miles in your very safe and fun hatch.

Congratulations for your new car!
I also bought the same colour.This thread was very helpful.

Did you also encounter water leak below the car?

Congratulations on getting an amazing vehicle in this awesome colour. I’ve booked one as well, with my primary preference being the Lapiz Blue, with silver being my second favourite. VW has increased the prices I think, as the on-road price in BLR is now around 10.2-10.3L. I’m getting a quote of 9.7L at PPS Richmond rd, with 30-45 days of waiting.
Looking forward to more details on your ownership & experience with this little beast of a car.
