Friends, I drive a 2015 Golf Gti. that is a segment above Polo Gti. These are really good cars.
But even the Golf Gti is cheaper than 25 Lakhs if you convert in to $'s. This car should be max 13-15 lakhs in India. Any more than that is a rip off.
Also, to those who are comparing buying bigger cars for same or less money than this car. ..you guys have no idea what these driver focused cars are about. These are not for luxury of the passengers, they are for the driver to feel like a race car driver everyday. There is no comparison so stop wasting time comparing Apples to Oranges.
she said it exactly it's somehting we buy wid our heart not wid our head 😀
The top speed of this monster is 235km/h and acceleration is 0-100 in 6 seconds
I just love this car. Driving the Polo since 2012 and no problems!! Although GTI is beyond my affordability, but I can feel the responsiveness and power. Hope VW brings their Global models in India soon.
And there will be some morons comparing this car with the fortuner.......Grow up....know the cars.....
Shiladitya Ray We get it, You're a Petrol head. But Imagine buying a car that costs a fortune and still not being able to drive the car to even 1/4th of its potential. The car's suspension might be partially ready for Indian roads but the roads/Infrastructure are definitely not ready for this car. Plus there's a reason VW has come up with "only 99 cars to be sold" Concept/marketing Strategy, because they know they probably won't be reaching that target anyway.
Shiladitya Ray exactly bro even I felt the same. there re lot of idiots who don't know anything about cars , and just comment saying that it's expensive and I would buy innova fortuner instead.. they think big is better. they should learn that potency is important than being big. just for joke...
I wish they bring in vw golf in India
Shiladitya Ray ya man totally agree. No one is forcing them to buy it , why complain go buy the car you want. Plus whoever will buy it will already be having other bigger and luxurious cars. They will do same comparison between a Lamborghini and Innova or superb or sclass.
Exactly guys. These guys does'nt what a car is or what German Engineering is. Fools starts comparing it with lame Toyota's Innova and Fortuner....WTF...How the hell could they compare a GTI with toycars like Innova & Fortuner. They exactly don't know what is a GT and a GTI is. Atleast you guys are here with some good knowledge and remarks about our cars.😊😊😊
What a beautiful car. What a beautiful piece of German engineering. India really needs more hot hachbacks like this.
Buy with your heart? Indians? VW should really research the market properly.
Neeraj Jadhav hahahahaha
Neeraj Jadhav agreed.. moronic pricing and lacking a hell lot of features for this price point
Kidneys, bro.
Neeraj Jadhav 😂😂😂milage kitni hai betaa??
Value for money !! Truly a automobile enthusiast car.
My Abarth Punto continues to hold vfm for the price and power it offers !!!
It's for those who want:-
-One of the best driver's class around.
-Renowned German Engineering .
-GTI badge.
SO OVERALL IT'S:-
Practical,
Agile,
Could have been bit cheaper ....
i understand that people are complaining about the price , you should know its not a normal hatch back , its competing with the mini cooper and fiat 500 witch are priced similarly , and look at the package , i dont see it selling a lot in India , even though i see a lot of coopers around
not worth it
25.99 ex-showroom....OMG!!!
I drove this in UK & believe me it makes u go absolute bonkers
This is not something you buy with your head, you buy this with your heart!
They couldn't add in the freaking Armrest even?? Talk about cost cutting. At 25lakhs you'd least expect an armrest. All the international variants come with one.
bro... this is a sports car where your both the hands should be on the steering wheel😁
*"you don't buy it with your head, but with your heart"*
I love VW, Polo and GTI that's why I have seen all the videos made on this car..
But when I ask my head he said don't buy it and when I ask my heart he gave me list of other cars I can buy at this price point. After all my heart also made in India.
had so much expectations from this car, no doubt the car is mind blowing but cant really expect these minor features missing in this beast. i'd rather go for octavia :P.
Very well said by Renuka Kirpalani.. it cost's a bomb and drives like one.. and this car is something you buy out of your heart or you're a VW fan.. :)
GTI is next thing,next level .You just want to burn up those pistons ❤️
lol..
why 2 spend such huge amount just for polo looking car...
Octavia engine in polo costs more than octavia... 😂😂😂👍👍
Omkar Surve Lol true
Don't judge a book by it's cover
That's because the power to weight distribution is even better than the Octavia.......
got one of these and i love it! so much fun
Wait did u really get golf gti 1.8 tsi????
How much was it??
Bro, Me Too. I got a chance to drive the GTi 2 Door. I'm in love with this car
Well said...'This is not something that you buy with your head...this is something that you buy with your heart...
I Am Sad So I Am Standing in a corner crying and watching this
Hi I recently bought Honda city Top model with sunroof, unfortunatly i met with an accident 3 months back and the car is completely damage. so i am planning to buy a new car, I am very much confued because of the budget also i am keeping budget upto 12-13 lac. My family consist of 5 members so i am very much confused which car i should buy which fit in all aspect Spacious, stylish . (Suv, Sedan or Hatchback) I checked out few cars some of my liked cars are Volksvagen Polo GT, Honda city, etc should i wait for verna 2017 or if you can suggest which would be a complete package
good review, I could see the grin on ur face. u exhibited similar expression during ur test drive on Audi rs7. the sense of confidence during cornering and Surge of power ..
For the the critics out there ! 190 horses and 250Nm torque under the hood !
does your manufactures have one like this in the price tag ?
This car is for car enthusiasts. And as she said in the end, no one buys this car with head, they but it with heart. That's what VW knows and is making the best use !
Aniruddha agrawal this car is not priced for enthusiasts, but for rich kids with daddies and women with rich hubbies. Not exactly the enthusiast crowd.
when the golf R will launch in india ?? please answer
this a somthing u buy with ur heart :) awaited hot hatch my fav hatch
abarth punto 0..100...9 second... this...7 second... 13lakhs extra for 2 seconds... time is indeed costly.. lol :D
Bro, vw is not overpriced. Punto abarth cannot be compared with vw gti. Always keep in mind that vw has the highest build quality, and hence, more price.
@@JohnPaul-jz3py Abrath punto don't have any qualities to be compared with polo GTI.Drive this car then you will understand the pricing part. Abrath punto will be dusted within 2500 RPM.For your kind information it's a competitor for Audi and min Cooper. Its completely Germany bulit not even a single part is manfactured in India.
It's actually 6 seconds for the Polo GTI
1 second is 1 year in car time. - Jeremy Clarkson
Ask Vin Diesel the value of a second
Why not bring the golf gti mk 7? It looks so much better and is sharper and is a legend in its own right.
There may be reasons such as sharing assembly line with polo and also Indian roads that can get golf polo. But given the price point, I'd be more than happy to spend a few more lakh and get Golf GTI or Golf R imported. It's just too good a car.
I think buyers should consider this option.
Is there a manual transmission variant?
25.99 ex showroom means on road it should be 28 or 30 including special number
is it available in automatic variant
I have got one and its completely worth it if i really haven't had the car probably i would also have said the same as most of the people are saying in the comments section but after even 5 months of ownership it still amazes me every time i drive it. The most important thing for me as a customer for a exotic vehicle is not attention grabbing and the polo thus that ever so effortlessly its just blends in the traffic untill i smoke few suvs of course. in that way no one comes to waste my time by getting in front of my car clicking selfies and i get to go home fast and un noticed cool
Did you opt for the 17 inch wheel ?? I’m planning to get one .. i m also gonna get the arm rest .. just to complete the car.. because its perfect
does it come with manual?
It's d bst hot hatch India could ever get I know it's expensive but trust me when u buy & drive it u will not blame yourself for buying it.It's some hell of a fun driving it.If u are an enthusiast & have d budget just go for it , no other thoughts
The Uncharted driven it on he track and its good.. but still not justified spend at that price. Octavia TSi is better and more fun.
Are you guys planning or will do a video on Tesla (any model) ?
is it 4 wheel drive ?
Skoda Rapid Facelift Style 1.5 TDI DSG Review Please !
25 Lac for polo look a like, half of people don't know the difference. Good luck for the big hearted people ,😁😁
Aposto que esse VW GTI, irá vim para o Brasil como GOL.
And all this time I am thinking, why does 192bhp has to 'look so bad'.
Its almost same power as a BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, Mercedes C, Volvo S60.
Well the price is just crazy. When you know that tadding three lacs you can the mercedes A class, which is a bomb. 😶
no
Hey you didn't told all the information about it
Can you do review on Polo GT TSI Sport 2017...! Please
what is the topspeed of polo gti?
more pricey than octavia 1.8 tsi?
Much awaited!!
Although I have a VW polo 1.2Tsi & I love to ride it.
But 25lakh for this Car is to much Ma'am, I'LL better go with Hundai Creta or Renault Captur.
Two door car at 30 lackh on road?
Why not test the golf mk 7 style
It is a golf right ?
How can one opt for 17 inch alloys
Is this Polo /Golf?
is it comfortable four seater? though it's a driver's as you said. what about luggage capacity? to enjoy winding roads we need to goto hill station and cannot go without friends or wife, with them naturally comes luggage for weekend : )
25.9 lakhs? I'll get the Abarth Punto, Drop a new exhaust, Reflash the ECU, Sportier suspension, Low profile tyres, Rear view camera, Cold air intake, JBL subwoofer........ etc and still would do it with half the price of the GTI
I would love to see the golf gti coming to india
How can one opt for 17 inch alloys
Its not available
Only driving enthusiasts will like VW
These hot hatches should better come with rear wheek drives. That will be ine of a reason to buy these.
To all the guys with negetive comments here. #KnowGTI 😏
GT TSI awesome car am useing 5 cars but I like polo GT TSI
i really love 3 doors
still very expensive. 15 lakh max is ok price. even in that they must include some other features. hopefully they drop the price in coming years.still appreciate volkswagen to bring this to india.
Sad how so many of you don't get this car. See, this is not a car for you VFM or Kpl figure obsessed people. This is a car that will be purchased by someone who already has other cars that makes sense. This is for pure unadulterated fun on 4 wheels.
oh That price tag!!!!
Yep, they just priced it out of competition. Rs. 15 - 17 lakhs on road, this would have been a good car to have.
People who are comparing this car with saloons and minivans (Innova) are confused seriously.
Spending 26 lakhs just for a 1.8 litre engine and that too in India. Nobody has got the heart to do it here i guess.
thats a CBU. its msrp is around 16.25 and tax for importing it 9.75(60%) thus 26.
Please!! This is not worth that kinda money, I would appreciate a complete comparison with the GT
It is a sleeper
Proud owner of polo, vento, gti
Proud owner of every car in vw
#VWFan
I would buy a Mini Cooper if I'm looking for something like this
Awsm renuka man🙌👍👌
A person spending 26L will not want a car that looks like a polo. Mark my words, this car will have extremely poor sales
Aditya Sundar No shit Mr Watson
That's why there are only 99 units for sale. The Indian consumer has not yet realised the beauty of motorsport.
Aditya Sundar They only imported 100 units and all 100 got booked under 1 Week :D
car enthusiasts exist bro...
Aditya Sundar Captain obvious
There's the problem, they are importing the cars, rather than having them manufactured here in India which would have made them a lot cheaper.
even 99 cars are too much for VW to sale → Indian road conditions,anyway best of luck VW.
+VIDEO ENTERTAINER who said?
Шив Kuwal Hey buddy....is it???? you know what....the 99 cars which you've mentioned here are already booked within a time span of 2 hours after its online launch. so lame. Dude know what a GTI is?😏
You mean sell our Heart to buy one..
Best review!
3:15 No auto irvm :O seriously? WTF!!!!
4:59 you can see it clearly
Happy with chevy cruze
Suddenly Abarth looking way cheaper n both my head n heart r saying yes to abarth.
Plz bring back the GTI 😭😭
wow....awesome
if it was with 1.8 litre diesel engine just imagine but it is excellent with petrol also
if I buy a swift and spend 10 lakhs on mods, still I will have enough money to buy another one. or I could buy two abarth puntos one in white and another in black with even and odd number plates and can enjoy driving everyday in Delhi!! Insane pricing.
one of the finest car review from autocar.Polo GTI is awesome.-:)
Getting one soon 😘
Love it!!!
Is the Polo GTi available with a stick shift or is it just the DSG?
maybe its just for the collectors with this price tag, but there has to be something more instead of replacing just an engine and 2 doors... i'd still prefer Fiat Abarth Punto over this.
Milage?
the car is quite impressive though it misses some goodies. but considering price point from a enthusiast point of view that is a little too much. polo GT TSI, Abarth punto etc with required upgrades like better suspension and tyres will be much more rewarding than the GTI. One can easily go for an Octavia TSI, put all performance packages still better than GTI. the European GTI price when converted to INR will roughly around 18-20 lakhs onroad. I think VW India must have taken atleast the CKD route and then launch the vehicle, which can easily bang on Abarth Punto atleast. let us see how many are they going to sell. anyone who can afford this will go for Mini Cooper any day I think considering the better value and brand image it offers, at least we get original car from Mini, not the desi version.
I always loved the GTI but even Maruti’s Swift Sport still has the great fun the GTI has and cheaper. GTI is my dream car.
Volkswagen gti 💜💜🧡
nobody wants to spend 35L on a sports hatch and drive an automatic at the same time
for this amount we can buy octavia
recording amendment delivery pickup.
VW has become the Samsung of Auto Industry. All their cars look the same , are mostly costly and as a company they have cheated on the emission norms. The next thing will be a major recall like Note S7 :-)
they should have launched golf r
You put in 20 i will put in 15 and i will just have it for the weekends.. done deal??
I dont think dis is gng to fare well in india.
They cud rather bring a suv to go against Crysta or Xuv500 or even creta.
