When It's VW all are in the driver's hand... I have a VW Vento TSI 2020. I'm getting 12-14 KMPL In heavy traffic .. In mild traffic, I'm getting around 16-18 KMPL. In highway, I was getting 19-21 KMPL
Bought mine in October, done with 7500km checks. Agree with most points. Faced the rubber noise issue, while steering right, got it checked and greased at 500km. The steering system is a new Gabriel setup, not the same used on 2019 polo. Hence the issue, I was told. Overall, best drivers car and value for money.
Hey, is it true that the new 1.0 tsi polo has a problem with steering rack? I mean a few a my friends who own the car complaint about a clunky sound when turning the steering. Is the the case with all VW, skoda 1.0tsi?
Hi Bro, after watching your first video on VW Polo, I have purchased the same car / same color / TSI on Dec 2020, now completed 4.7K km. I was driving Bangalore to Goa and had the similar incident, my front right tyre got cut as the car fell into a massive pothole. Now when I cross 110kmph I feel vibrations, how did you get to know that the alloy had a bend ? I am going to do a wheel balancing and see if the issue resolves.
My 9.5 years old vw tdi 1.2 gives 17 to 24 kpl under varying conditions. Engine is still as smooth as new. It is 1 lakh kms and I don't feel like letting it go for any other car even honda city or suvs
For build quality, safety and if you drive a on high speed on highways under this price segment polo will provide you the stability. For space , features and gc brezza Swift chutyia hai
I'm a fellow owner of a 1.0 TSI highline plus manual and the cornering lamps don't work in my polo with the steering angle. They work only with the indicator stalk. Is it the same in your car???
Always keep pressure 33/34 depending upon the passengers u r carrying. , and drive with the limited speed it will give almost 15 kmpl and on highway 21 kmpl easily.
Thanx bro for honest review , i drove same car upto 5000kms i bought in sept will go for 6000km service and faced same issue ,,, sound when turning steering from rubbers.

It’s called a creep groan, almost all automatic cars with high power make that noise. When you release the brake pedal slowly, the brake will make noise, because the power release on the new polo is tremendous. This should happen while you move ahead, as well as in reverse gear. Unfortunately, you will have to get used this noise.
I am planning to buy vento tsi. I am really concerned about the reliability of the 1.0 tsi engine. It is a small capacity turbo engine. It can never be as reliable as honda/suzuki 1.5 petrol. Should I buy the vento ? I don't want my car and engine to give problems while driving other than the scheduled service. Thanks.
Reviewing Indian Hi my daily running will be 90-100KM..would you suggest me that I should buy tsi or not? Took test drive & i loved the power it has, just having confusion regarding my running. Kindly suggest ..should i opt figo diesel or Polo TSI? WHat about turbo charger maintenance
Already told you to get it.😄..there is no diesel available now..so your only option is TSI..keep the vehicle for 1 min idle whenever you are doing cold start or stopping after a long drive for longer turbo life...can't comment about anything else now
I've just booked White Polo TSI MT today. Want to get the GT look with Black ORVM caps and Black Rear Spoiler. Any idea how much they are priced at? The dealer does not have stock currently so he's not quoting yet. I did some digging ORVMs at 2k and Spoiler at 8k.. These prices seem quiet OK.. Anything above 10k in total, will give them a miss and use the same for fuel 😉 Suggestions please...
Costs do look similar to what I have been told.. I have put my accessories plan currently on hold as I'm expecting my new motorcycle to be coming soon.. 😈😈
1. What is the top speed that you drove in this car. 2. Upto what maximum speed the stability feels better and confidence. 3. I was having Vento TDI when i clock three digit speed the sound of the engine was barely audible, so in polo TSI what is you experience..?
1. Around 170 2. Around 140..after that it depends on roads 3. Being a 3 pot engine, it's audible, but I like the throaty roar of the engine.. Not too loud but audible
@@ReviewingIndian polo service cost and parts are costly and have some compromise in rear seat space.. what is your personal experience in this regard.
I don't have any issues so far and I am yet to do my full service ( first service is at 15000 kms only 😁)...other costs (washing and small check ups) seems reasonable....rear seat space is slightly lower but I don't have issues as mostly I will be driving only with my wife..my preference was premium build, good safety and excellent performance...I'm happy with my Polo
Many of my friends owning the 1.0 tsi have the complaint with steering noise while turning. Why is it so? VW despite being the name for build quality, why are they making mediocre steering rack? Or rubber boot
Bro, I'm gonna book Comfortline Turbo edition within a week....please let me know if you have some advices on this..You know I was getting so many questions when I decided to buy a VW Polo car🙂....I love this car ❤️❤️
Yeah..but I'd also suggest you try AMT variant...it's much easier to drive in City...as Tiagos are not very sporty, there is no point in getting Manual
Own the same july version of 1litre tsi manual same as urs Issue faced: door beading rattle Dashboard rattle Not rectified despite multiple visits from 400 kms on wards Done 7500 kms nw Mileage- same as u say, in general 16 overall from my usage And a heavy steering when compared to other brands
@@thurules nop did diy by identifying the rattling piece and fixed it with tape, i feared if the showroom guys open up the dash to fix the issue then it wil loose the factory fit
A great review ....the mileage stuff is what i wanted to know a lot coz ,I felt convincing after what you had said about it i do felt the same just didn't have a person to discuss on who drives polo ... thanks a lot for that . Have 2 queries 1) Does the polo highline 2016 model have a chance to get the back camera fixed ? 2) How much do they charge for service at ur place once 3 or 2 frecheck up done? Coz here at Vizag ,Andra Pradesh they charge between 8k to 10k for service. Is it same?
I liked your review brother, but the armrest issue, i would like to tell it rests in three different positions and the lowest one is quite convenient for resting while gear changing. You can try that. The position u have shown in the video is the middle one, it goes below that. Further u can get volkswagen reverse camera for 10k i got it from showroom itself.
Wonderful review!! I am joining the club in a week’s time! Btw, Can you check if the video can be played when the vehicle is idle? I think companies dont allow to play videos only when the vehicle is in motion I own an Innova and it works that way so just want to confirm if it is the same case with Polo as well 😄😄
You'll get good build quality, average performance, basic features and VW premium brand feel for the price in the base variant.. But will miss that thrilling performance from 1.0 Turbo as well as some must have features and mileage as well
Reviewing Indian Hi my daily running will be 90-100KM..would you suggest me that I should buy tsi or not? Took test drive & i loved the power it has, just having confusion regarding my running. Kindly suggest ..should i opt figo diesel or Polo TSI? WHat about turbo charger maintenance
Hello! I'm planning to buy my first car, I don't have much experience riding cars and I am keen on getting a automatic. Do you think the GT TSI or Polo in general is a good idea for someone like me?
Polo TSI a good choice and I suggest you start with a manual version and then move to automatics ( makes you more versatile). Polo has good power and handling and some people might need some time to get used to such strong power delivery. Hence I suggest you take a long test drive and decide it for yourself 👍👍😁
@@ReviewingIndian haha good point on starting with manual but I think what may end up happening is I will get so sick of it in Bangalore traffic and I will ride way less or just take a Uber! So a better investment of time and money for me would be to just start with automatic. Thanks!
@@ReviewingIndian I was just re-watching this video and I think it would be nice if you could make a small video on the rear parking camera once you get it installed. It will help a lot of people!
I bought its AT version. I also bought original reverse camera from VW showroom (basically its camera that comes with Vento), it costed me 8k after some bargaining 😁
I got from VW also...let me warn you that camera is not a OEM fitment, doesn't look good on the car I will change it after the warranty thing is done, it was a 11,000/- accessory. I got him to give it to me for free coz he wanted to sell a sunset Red at any cost, I said the mats, mudflaps, car cover, camera all I want in that price.
@@hrishie50 There Is no OEM for Polo, some Pvt accessory guys like gean DNA, Vagatune both from Kerala have OEM cameras but again I was scared to touch the car because of warranty, hence got it from the dealership if anything goes wrong I shall pin it on them. I got it from Mumbai.
for a rational buyer, this is a very old, hard to drive vehicle at this point of time. the hydraulic steering which is hard to manure in the city, a harder clutch , noisy engine, awkward driving position, narrow and old interior which is way to harsh for everyday use. inside rear view mirror blocks view on left side, you will miss a biker from a pocket road on your left and getting into the main road. it is also small and not very helpful for its ourpose. so small are the ORVMs. driving position is very close to the front windshield (5' 10") so i get headache when driving in the sun due to the heat from windshield. Seats are netted like your office chair; cushion on top of it is not adequate I felt... not very comfortable. bent alloy is a familiar sight. unless you fancy 'vw' tata altroz with a torque converter GBox could have been a practical alternative! (personally not a fan of hyundai) from the service side, VW said only yearly service @ 15K kms but you will visit service center thrice a year :D good things are the Tsi engine which has no comparison in the market now and the torque converter transmission -which most guys would miss out due to the price. Very Interesting to see how polo drivers come up with innovative excuses to coverup the cars' shortcomings lol! :D :D :D if you have cash, go 4 GT. it is not at all a second car option for a family with a budget.
I think you haven't got a clue about what you are talking 😂...it's steering is not very heavy and feels precise. Tsi clutch is very light and engine is tolerably noisy ( unless you ar used to S class ). Driving position is spot on ( for most of us humans) and I never felt IRVM blocking anything on left side ( unless you are a 7 foot giraffe 😂) . My brother who is 5'11" never complained about driving position. Seats are firm but never inadequate ( I have driven 500+ kms in a single day). And I'm not justifying anything instead I feel like these issues are only specific to you ( don't know the reason). I'm saying with experience ( used Elite i20 for 2 years) and I'm much more happier with Polo. Who said you have to take it to service centre 3 times a year ( most of period maintenance mentioned are check ups). Unless you owned a lemon. I have not paid anything other than for washing and fluid change ( covered 7000 kms so far). My Bent alloy was due to the load (4 people) and massive pothole ( at least 3/4 feet deep). And bent alloys can happen in any alloy wheeled car ( My friends brezza had same issue). Interiors might be old ( for you). It feels classy for me and durable. And no one's pushing people to buy Polo, it happens as a result of concious choice (+ a bit of love )...
It's not good for 3 adults for long distance journey. Especially if they are tall.. If they are of my height (172cm) then 3 can be seated at a squeeze. Mostly it's good for 2 adults and a child at the back
6th gear is overdrive so it will be less torquey as its for cruising only. Seat recline angle and gear lever position is subjective as I don’t have any issues with it 😀
What I said.. if u want fun u can go beyond an njoy after 1750 rpm at around 2000 still gets 21 kmpl. N If need a good mileage..thn.. it's good too be under 1500 n gets as high as 28-30 kmpl!
@@ReviewingIndian just try it onc..I personally don't own a Polo but want to book as new Comfortline turbo edition is launched at an unbelievable price of 6.99 lacs ex showroom!
There is no vw reverse camera for 2020 polo. They will simply install a basic one from approved vendor and will cost you 10k. Not worth. Let me know if you received a better one. Ask for free wash and sanitizing until 1 year, I think it is complimentary and is part of the service package. I wasn't charged for this. I have the same car completing 1 year now. Much eager to know about your reverse camera experience, expecting reply.
@@ReviewingIndian i own i 20 2016 petrol varient... and I have driven 1.0 this polo... polo cannot match the refinement of i20... what is your opinion 🤔
Very nice review brother, thanks a lot for your effort to reveal your experience. I clocked about 8k and the general service is due on may 2021. So far, I only faced the following issues: - engine jerking at low rpm - engine self rev at 1k rpm ( I call it the overexcited rev of the tsi) engine rev on it’s own without foot action - steering intermittent noise (low but definitely there) - break rust after car wash and unbearable noise at initial stop after car wash - mushy breaks in emergency situations - steering control issue ( play backward button pause the music, I need to press several times or press the touchscreen to move to previous track) - music system intermittent death freeze ( becomes unresponsive for no logical reasons) - low mileage if using any other oil than shell petrol vpower Most of the issues will be addressed to Vw at the time of the general service for a permanent resolution. I can also see that you rev the engine hard past 3k rpm. Sure the engine can sustain that sort rev band but I strongly discourage it as it could shorten your engine life. I have personally notice that a gentle throttle action move the car better and better speed can be achieved under 3k rpm. Once you hit 120kmph the rpm will transit to 3k and will hardly cross it even at 140kmph. If your city has a shell petrol pump, please use vpower. It is costlier granted but trust me the performance is on point. The sad news is that few vehicles hit my car on the left side while it was parked. I wished I could identify the culprit but helas... I am glad to see you will be installing a rear cam from Vw itself. I got a mirror like dash cam with a rear cam for about 6k on amazon that works supremely well. While reversing it activates the rear cam and while driving it records on both side. I thought it was a better deal since I can record my trips at 1080p. I even recorded someone reversing and hitting from the front. He could hardly argue since the whole thing was “on tape”. That’s all from me for now. Thanks again for the great work! Best regards
@althurules you will not get a dsg on a polo from 2020 onward. The last dsg I drove was not jerking at all…unless you somewhat been driving real hard and fast to the extent where moving from a still position jerks a bit but really…almost unnoticeably. The jerk would be more prominent on your manual transmission if at all there would be any factors leading to it.
@althurules the mileage is better nowadays. But really I came to realise that many other factors may have an impact, especially partially deflated tyres. For my 195/55r16, I keep refilling the nitro every 2weeks as I hardly drive 10km a day. 38 - 36 for the rear and 35 for front tyres is ideal. The “overexcited rev of the tsi” is still very much there. I addressed it to the showroom but they had of no clue of what that is. The car “behaved “ 😂 the days I took for a checkup and never exhibited it. I decided to overlook it. But sometimes it can be so freaking strange to watch your car Reving on its own. I replaced the front break assembly…yes disk +pads for 8k in Bangalore. During the first service they said it was too early to replace the pad. They didn’t properly check. Around 16k the breaks would behave like I was trying to stop an old heavy truck. It was unbearable and unreliable. The guys at the showroom said the only way forward is to replace the brakes…and so did I. The sound from the brakes reduced to a fair extent for these new ones are great. The bite is good and you can really stop the car confidently even during an emergency. I gave up upon the music control on the steering. Not a big deal I just decided to live with it. Rather use the touch screen to select previous track (which is the only problem in that context). Overall the car has become a beast capable of reaching 140 on the highway without breaking a sweat, fully planted and hard cornering. Even body roll is very well contained despite the weight of the car. Those OEM MRF tyres offer really good grip even at 18k. But nowadays they tend to kinda float under hard acceleration and cornering. If you would get a polo now, please replace the tyres to Michelins primacy 4, continental ultra contact 6 and the best of the moment yoko gt ae51…rated as best premium tourer in 2021. Do not change the tyre size if you want mileage and cornering. Finally the jerk issue I used to face happened while moving from the first gear even on gentle foot action or while the ac is on. It was unbearable. Almost like you are trying to move the car on a high gear and suddenly remember to downshift. After the first service I felt it was not as prominent. However if I end up revving hard over 3k continuously enthusiastically and the engine get the rpm “in the mood for some action” and I try to drive more sedately, the jerks at low rpm start showing up. The other time I felt the jerk is when I had use some other petrol other than my shell vpower. All the smoothness run out the window. I have adjusted my sitting posture and many other issues like steering feel, hard gear stick, most of those disappeared

@@ReviewingIndian polo service cost and parts are costly and have some compromise in rear seat space.. what is your personal experience in this regard.
I don't have any issues so far and I am yet to do my full service ( first service is at 15000 kms only 😁)...other costs (washing and small check ups) seems reasonable....rear seat space is slightly lower but I don't have issues as mostly I will be driving only with my wife..my preference was premium build, good safety and excellent performance...I'm happy with my Polo
@@ReviewingIndian good to know you are satisfied with your car. how much milage you are getting in city as well as on highway.
Highway anywhere between 14-17 depending on driving usually..max I got was 20.4....city around 11-12
8:23 💥
Which showroom/dealer you bought your car, chennai or kochin , and the service station? Could you recommend showroom in chennai?
Bought from Sundaram VW Chennai, service done at my home town - Volkswagen Palakkad
Awesome cheta, nic review
Many of my friends owning the 1.0 tsi have the complaint with steering noise while turning. Why is it so? VW despite being the name for build quality, why are they making mediocre steering rack? Or rubber boot
It's just a maintenance issues.. keep the boot greased..😁
Too good review keep going give us more update plzzz
Bro, I'm gonna book Comfortline Turbo edition within a week....please let me know if you have some advices on this..You know I was getting so many questions when I decided to buy a VW Polo car🙂....I love this car ❤️❤️
Did u got the car
Would you recommend anyone to go for Tiago XZ model for 7 lakhs. Any other Suggestion?
Yeah..but I'd also suggest you try AMT variant...it's much easier to drive in City...as Tiagos are not very sporty, there is no point in getting Manual
Is this polo comfortline?
Nope..Highline plus
Really great 🥰
What about vibration and cabin refinement can you please tell?
Check this video for better understanding
th-cam.com/video/VhVho2St1FI/w-d-xo.html
This is not a Tata😂.... You can close your eyes and go for it.... The engine sound at higher rpm is very sporty.
All the guys in your family above 6000 rpm 😄✌
Bro..Which is best in terms of steering feedback, handling and punchy performance-figo 1.5D or polo 1.0 tsi?
Both are neck and neck...both in steering feedback and performance. But Polo cabin and overall build quality is far better than Figo..
Have driven polo and figo on ghats, figo loses grip on hard cornering, polo didn't even flinch.no comparison
Own the same july version of 1litre tsi manual same as urs
Issue faced: door beading rattle
Dashboard rattle
Not rectified despite multiple visits from 400 kms on wards
Done 7500 kms nw
Mileage- same as u say, in general 16 overall from my usage
And a heavy steering when compared to other brands
How bad was the rattling sound? Did vw resolve the issue?
@@thurules nop did diy by identifying the rattling piece and fixed it with tape, i feared if the showroom guys open up the dash to fix the issue then it wil loose the factory fit
Look how stable the camera is inside the car
What is the economy that I can expect when I maintain 130-140 kmph??
13-14
8-9 kms
First review 😍
I20 or polo which is best ?
Plz tell me bro
Polo gt best.
A great review ....the mileage stuff is what i wanted to know a lot coz ,I felt convincing after what you had said about it i do felt the same just didn't have a person to discuss on who drives polo ... thanks a lot for that . Have 2 queries
1) Does the polo highline 2016 model have a chance to get the back camera fixed ?
2) How much do they charge for service at ur place once 3 or 2 frecheck up done? Coz here at Vizag ,Andra Pradesh they charge between 8k to 10k for service. Is it same?
I liked your review brother, but the armrest issue, i would like to tell it rests in three different positions and the lowest one is quite convenient for resting while gear changing.
You can try that. The position u have shown in the video is the middle one, it goes below that.
Further u can get volkswagen reverse camera for 10k i got it from showroom itself.
Good video covering almost everything. Bro how about new Polo turbo edition? The trendline trim.
Its in comfortline trim...engine and transmission will be same..a bit less features compared to highlighe
@@ReviewingIndian oh ok. Ya it's comfertline. Does retrofitting of touchscreen/reverse cam affect warranty? And do VW provide with these accessories ?
What is the exact mileage in city and highway
Check video from 2:10 onwards.. Difficult to give exact milage as it varies depending on driving conditions
Do VW dealerships in Kerala offer to fit genuine VW reverse camera at their showrooms?
no, be careful. Kerala dealerss cut a wire mostly for placing camera. later this will cause warranty problems
@@jithinthomas2369 Yes, that is the exact reason I asked. Dealerships mention that getting an after market reverse camera voids warranty
Wonderful review!! I am joining the club in a week’s time!
Btw, Can you check if the video can be played when the vehicle is idle? I think companies dont allow to play videos only when the vehicle is in motion
I own an Innova and it works that way so just want to confirm if it is the same case with Polo as well 😄😄
Advance congratulations! It doesn't allow playing videos even when it's stationary
@@ReviewingIndian Thanks and great to know ☺️☺️ your drive from Chennai to Kerala is a good one too!!
Hey can you give some details about the reverse cam u gonna put. Thanks in advance
12000 rs in Bangalore it's an add on
Sensor should be fine which comes as default with POLO 2020
Good review👍
So finally is it worth buying Base model of Polo for around 6.10 L?
You'll get good build quality, average performance, basic features and VW premium brand feel for the price in the base variant.. But will miss that thrilling performance from 1.0 Turbo as well as some must have features and mileage as well
Reviewing Indian Hi my daily running will be 90-100KM..would you suggest me that I should buy tsi or not? Took test drive & i loved the power it has, just having confusion regarding my running. Kindly suggest ..should i opt figo diesel or Polo TSI? WHat about turbo charger maintenance
Get it
7:00 even i faced this problem in my rapid tsi 2020 at around 2000 km
Worth buying in 2021?
Definitely! There is no expiry date for that drive feel! 😈😈
Nice review, dear. Please, tell us regarding the routine maintenance..
Nothing specific..just check tyre pressure, keep the vehicle clean..thats all I do..😀
Hello! I'm planning to buy my first car, I don't have much experience riding cars and I am keen on getting a automatic. Do you think the GT TSI or Polo in general is a good idea for someone like me?
Polo TSI a good choice and I suggest you start with a manual version and then move to automatics ( makes you more versatile). Polo has good power and handling and some people might need some time to get used to such strong power delivery. Hence I suggest you take a long test drive and decide it for yourself 👍👍😁
@@ReviewingIndian haha good point on starting with manual but I think what may end up happening is I will get so sick of it in Bangalore traffic and I will ride way less or just take a Uber! So a better investment of time and money for me would be to just start with automatic. Thanks!
Go ahead and get Polo... Best drivers car under 10 lakhs (MT) or 11 lakhs (GT).. Happy driving 👍👍😊😊
@@ReviewingIndian I was just re-watching this video and I think it would be nice if you could make a small video on the rear parking camera once you get it installed. It will help a lot of people!
Seems you havent gone for the leather seats, good decision
Nope.. It's just original cloth one
@@ReviewingIndian is there any odour coming from them?
Nothing so far 😁
Any idea of improvement in mileage in new turbo edition?
I bought its AT version. I also bought original reverse camera from VW showroom (basically its camera that comes with Vento), it costed me 8k after some bargaining 😁
Lemme try bargaining as well 😉
I got from VW also...let me warn you that camera is not a OEM fitment, doesn't look good on the car I will change it after the warranty thing is done, it was a 11,000/- accessory. I got him to give it to me for free coz he wanted to sell a sunset Red at any cost, I said the mats, mudflaps, car cover, camera all I want in that price.
@@aayushbhingare2279 Is the 11000 one offered at the showroom OEM?
Which city? In Bangalore the dealer says it's not a genuine spare or OEM, but an after market.. But charging 11k
@@hrishie50 There Is no OEM for Polo, some Pvt accessory guys like gean DNA, Vagatune both from Kerala have OEM cameras but again I was scared to touch the car because of warranty, hence got it from the dealership if anything goes wrong I shall pin it on them. I got it from Mumbai.

I am only getting 13kmpl on highway . I am driving below triple digits.
Check your driving style! Don’t give sudden heavy throttle inputs and also check tyre pressure!
for a rational buyer, this is a very old, hard to drive vehicle at this point of time. the hydraulic steering which is hard to manure in the city, a harder clutch , noisy engine, awkward driving position, narrow and old interior which is way to harsh for everyday use. inside rear view mirror blocks view on left side, you will miss a biker from a pocket road on your left and getting into the main road. it is also small and not very helpful for its ourpose. so small are the ORVMs. driving position is very close to the front windshield (5' 10") so i get headache when driving in the sun due to the heat from windshield. Seats are netted like your office chair; cushion on top of it is not adequate I felt... not very comfortable. bent alloy is a familiar sight. unless you fancy 'vw' tata altroz with a torque converter GBox could have been a practical alternative! (personally not a fan of hyundai)
from the service side, VW said only yearly service @ 15K kms but you will visit service center thrice a year :D
good things are the Tsi engine which has no comparison in the market now and the torque converter transmission -which most guys would miss out due to the price.
Very Interesting to see how polo drivers come up with innovative excuses to coverup the cars' shortcomings lol! :D :D :D if you have cash, go 4 GT. it is not at all a second car option for a family with a budget.
I think you haven't got a clue about what you are talking 😂...it's steering is not very heavy and feels precise. Tsi clutch is very light and engine is tolerably noisy ( unless you ar used to S class ). Driving position is spot on ( for most of us humans) and I never felt IRVM blocking anything on left side ( unless you are a 7 foot giraffe 😂) . My brother who is 5'11" never complained about driving position. Seats are firm but never inadequate ( I have driven 500+ kms in a single day). And I'm not justifying anything instead I feel like these issues are only specific to you ( don't know the reason). I'm saying with experience ( used Elite i20 for 2 years) and I'm much more happier with Polo. Who said you have to take it to service centre 3 times a year ( most of period maintenance mentioned are check ups). Unless you owned a lemon. I have not paid anything other than for washing and fluid change ( covered 7000 kms so far). My Bent alloy was due to the load (4 people) and massive pothole ( at least 3/4 feet deep). And bent alloys can happen in any alloy wheeled car ( My friends brezza had same issue). Interiors might be old ( for you). It feels classy for me and durable. And no one's pushing people to buy Polo, it happens as a result of concious choice (+ a bit of love )...
can u put 3 adults at the back and show us ? i am seriously considering this car
It's not good for 3 adults for long distance journey. Especially if they are tall.. If they are of my height (172cm) then 3 can be seated at a squeeze. Mostly it's good for 2 adults and a child at the back
6th gear is less torquey..rear seat incline angle and.manual gear lever position are problems...Best ride quality..sedan lik comfort
6th gear is overdrive so it will be less torquey as its for cruising only. Seat recline angle and gear lever position is subjective as I don’t have any issues with it 😀
Ok..confused betwen Nexon and polo tsi...Which has better ride and comfort???
It gvs 25-26 easily if u be around 1500.
That's not good as the torque starts in at 1750 rpm.. So you can't always keep. It in 1500 rpm 😁
What I said.. if u want fun u can go beyond an njoy after 1750 rpm at around 2000 still gets 21 kmpl.
N If need a good mileage..thn.. it's good too be under 1500 n gets as high as 28-30 kmpl!
@@ReviewingIndian just try it onc..I personally don't own a Polo but want to book as new Comfortline turbo edition is launched at an unbelievable price of 6.99 lacs ex showroom!
Best car
Audio too much bass rumble from the car.
I think ford figo blu/S could be a close competitor to the polo
Yeah
There is no vw reverse camera for 2020 polo. They will simply install a basic one from approved vendor and will cost you 10k. Not worth. Let me know if you received a better one.
Ask for free wash and sanitizing until 1 year, I think it is complimentary and is part of the service package. I wasn't charged for this. I have the same car completing 1 year now.
Much eager to know about your reverse camera experience, expecting reply.
I didn’t buy it actually..😉
You can actually bend down the arm rest to next level down
Yeah but then it wouldn't work as hand rest.. 😂.. My i20s hand rest was perfect..it can be kept in ideal position without being hindrance to gearshift
@@ReviewingIndian i own i 20 2016 petrol varient... and I have driven 1.0 this polo... polo cannot match the refinement of i20... what is your opinion 🤔
Definitely.. i20 petrol lacked in character as well as performance and even fuel efficiency. Polo is miles ahead in this area.
You getting wrong actually it gives 18 to 20 km per litre. I am also owner of polo GT.
Dude that’s maximum and depends on driving conditions. I will gift you my polo if you can get 18-20 on city drive.😂

Malayali anno broo♥️
Very nice review brother, thanks a lot for your effort to reveal your experience.
I clocked about 8k and the general service is due on may 2021. So far, I only faced the following issues:
- engine jerking at low rpm
- engine self rev at 1k rpm ( I call it the overexcited rev of the tsi) engine rev on it’s own without foot action
- steering intermittent noise (low but definitely there)
- break rust after car wash and unbearable noise at initial stop after car wash
- mushy breaks in emergency situations
- steering control issue ( play backward button pause the music, I need to press several times or press the touchscreen to move to previous track)
- music system intermittent death freeze ( becomes unresponsive for no logical reasons)
- low mileage if using any other oil than shell petrol vpower
Most of the issues will be addressed to Vw at the time of the general service for a permanent resolution.
I can also see that you rev the engine hard past 3k rpm. Sure the engine can sustain that sort rev band but I strongly discourage it as it could shorten your engine life. I have personally notice that a gentle throttle action move the car better and better speed can be achieved under 3k rpm. Once you hit 120kmph the rpm will transit to 3k and will hardly cross it even at 140kmph. If your city has a shell petrol pump, please use vpower. It is costlier granted but trust me the performance is on point.
The sad news is that few vehicles hit my car on the left side while it was parked. I wished I could identify the culprit but helas...
I am glad to see you will be installing a rear cam from Vw itself. I got a mirror like dash cam with a rear cam for about 6k on amazon that works supremely well. While reversing it activates the rear cam and while driving it records on both side. I thought it was a better deal since I can record my trips at 1080p. I even recorded someone reversing and hitting from the front. He could hardly argue since the whole thing was “on tape”.
That’s all from me for now. Thanks again for the great work!
Best regards
Is it the dsg jerking?
@althurules you will not get a dsg on a polo from 2020 onward. The last dsg I drove was not jerking at all…unless you somewhat been driving real hard and fast to the extent where moving from a still position jerks a bit but really…almost unnoticeably. The jerk would be more prominent on your manual transmission if at all there would be any factors leading to it.
@@MrLanmx okay, did all these issues you mentioned here got resolved or are you still facing it? Also coould you elaborate on the engine jerk issue
@althurules the mileage is better nowadays. But really I came to realise that many other factors may have an impact, especially partially deflated tyres. For my 195/55r16, I keep refilling the nitro every 2weeks as I hardly drive 10km a day. 38 - 36 for the rear and 35 for front tyres is ideal.
The “overexcited rev of the tsi” is still very much there. I addressed it to the showroom but they had of no clue of what that is. The car “behaved “ 😂 the days I took for a checkup and never exhibited it. I decided to overlook it. But sometimes it can be so freaking strange to watch your car Reving on its own.
I replaced the front break assembly…yes disk +pads for 8k in Bangalore. During the first service they said it was too early to replace the pad. They didn’t properly check. Around 16k the breaks would behave like I was trying to stop an old heavy truck. It was unbearable and unreliable. The guys at the showroom said the only way forward is to replace the brakes…and so did I. The sound from the brakes reduced to a fair extent for these new ones are great. The bite is good and you can really stop the car confidently even during an emergency.
I gave up upon the music control on the steering. Not a big deal I just decided to live with it. Rather use the touch screen to select previous track (which is the only problem in that context).
Overall the car has become a beast capable of reaching 140 on the highway without breaking a sweat, fully planted and hard cornering. Even body roll is very well contained despite the weight of the car. Those OEM MRF tyres offer really good grip even at 18k. But nowadays they tend to kinda float under hard acceleration and cornering. If you would get a polo now, please replace the tyres to Michelins primacy 4, continental ultra contact 6 and the best of the moment yoko gt ae51…rated as best premium tourer in 2021. Do not change the tyre size if you want mileage and cornering.
Finally the jerk issue I used to face happened while moving from the first gear even on gentle foot action or while the ac is on. It was unbearable. Almost like you are trying to move the car on a high gear and suddenly remember to downshift. After the first service I felt it was not as prominent. However if I end up revving hard over 3k continuously enthusiastically and the engine get the rpm “in the mood for some action” and I try to drive more sedately, the jerks at low rpm start showing up. The other time I felt the jerk is when I had use some other petrol other than my shell vpower. All the smoothness run out the window.
I have adjusted my sitting posture and many other issues like steering feel, hard gear stick, most of those disappeared
@@MrLanmx Thanks for the detailed reply. I'm thinking of going with the i20 nline at the moment as I dont see the new gen polo or atleast the 2017 polo coming to India. i20 nline with the on road price in blore arounf 14lac to 15 lac. And still people are buying it in good numbers. Not sure why vw doesnt bring the new gen polo to India
polo should upgrade
