Read Team-BHP's definitive Volkswagen Polo 1.0L TSI Review.

What you’ll like:

  • Fast & fun to drive. Begs to be driven hard!
  • Brilliant 109 BHP 1.0L TSI engine is an enthusiast's delight. Mated to a slick 6-speed MT
  • Mature suspension gives the Polo good road manners
  • Still looks great. Old, but timeless, clean & classy
  • Solidly built with a European feel that no other hatchback matches till today
  • Among the safest hatchbacks in India - GNCAP rating of 4 stars
  • Features such as cruise control, reach + rake steering, auto-wipers, driver armrest, tinted windows

What you won’t:

  • Yet another Polo variant & engine. Enough already (related thread)!!
  • 1.0 TSI’s refinement is poor at high rpm (it’s acceptable at regular revs)
  • An 11-year old model. The next-generation Polo is already on sale abroad
  • Limited rear bench legroom and a large floor hump. Your family won’t be pleased
  • VW's sub-par dealership & service experiences
  • Many missing features: keyless-entry-go, reversing camera, oldschool MID, boot light, split rear seat, projector / LED headlamps, basic 4-speaker ICE
  • Premium pricing! Amongst the most expensive cars in the segment, despite being the oldest
