- The Volkswagen Polo GT twins are back in their face lifted avatars. While the GT TSI's mechanicals are carried forward unchanged, the GT TDI gets a new 1.5 litre turbo diesel engine.
We find out what they're like to drive
I enjoyed this review. The petrol GT looks totally worth it.
I have a 2012 1.2 mpi polo highline which has run only 48000 kms and has again developed engine issue. Its EPC light is on and its engine and body is rattling and shaking like crazy. Last time it happened it had run 32k kms. Had got all 3 ignition plugs, spark plugs and the entire set changes for 10k approx then. So, got it to volkswagen service station, the engineer said that he'll have to check if there's a compression issue. He asked me to submit my car for 3 days. If there's a compression issue, then we'll have to change the entire engine set which will cost me somewhere around 25-30k. And 3 days for checking the issue and what if engine has to be replaced? another 30 days! I mean people buy cars to park in garage or what? I used to think that if you get your vehicle serviced in time at authorised service stations, it wouldn't give any problem. Thats true for Maruti & Hyundai cars as per my experience but not with this metal junk Volkswagen polo. Imagine what kind of a car would develop engine problems after running merely 48k kms and timely serviced every single time at authorised service stations only? doubting if i had a bad luck that i got a lemon, i enquired several indian car websites and to my surprise found many similar cases with this product. Buying a volkswagen thinking of german engineering and safety proved to be a curse. Now i'm stuck with this lemon, can't even sell it off worrying what the person who buys it from me later discovers all this would think of me that i duped him/her. its as good as a scrap now. I have already prevented 4 of my friends from buying volkswagen products. So, i advice you gentlemen and ladies even to think a thousand times before buying a volkswagen...
Kritik kumar thanks a lot. Think I will go with Figo
Your opinion please.. I am planning to buy new polo gt tdi.. but the dealer offered 40k discount for the older 1.6 gt tdi.. so should I buy the new polo gt tdi for 9.54 lakhs or the older gt tdi for 9.1 lakhs? Thank you
Liked Aditya's clear diction and style of presentation. Nice and refreshing.
which one is the good tdi o tsi for drive>????nd very very nice video,,,
I am looking for performance tyres for Polo GT TDI. I was looking for Bridgestone Potenza My-02 195/60 R15 88V. Is it a good option? The recommended ones by Polo according to the Rims is 185/60 R15 84H. Can you please recommend?
Good review, wish Autocar do review of Facelifted New Vento TSI and TDI
Does gt tsi got cruise control on 2014 model?
Yeah do review of vento tsi its nt available anywhere
GT TSI FOREVER
What Ever maan the best is still the Old Gt tdi
Vinay you can go ahead and buy the new one as you get a face lift with a new steering wheel and lighter engine as well .. Find out the best dealer in your city for the best price
European GT model has much better looks and subtle touches. You sub-continental folks are being short changed.
Here in India, the Polo is among the best-finished, good looking cars with decent performance.Despite the performance gap between the Indian and European spec models, we are happy to get a 1.2 liter petrol, turbocharged engine that produces 104 bhp. Until the GT's launch, the most powerful, affordable hatch in the market was the Suzuki Swift that produces 83 bhp. VW has announced its plan to import the three-door Polo GTI from Germany, but due to the tax structure here it will be twice as expensive as the one sold in Europe. India is a lousy place to be if you love cars. With our nonexistent roads, people are better of buying a Jeep.
