So should I buy the GT TDI or the TSI?
Good question, but the answer lies within you. The GT TDI carries more grunt, is torquier, has a manual gearbox and sips diesel. You should be looking at it, if your idea of an exciting drive involves expressway runs and shrinking inter-city distances, it will be equally at home in the city and is the perfect fast car to buy under 10 lakh, if you have now come to terms with evolution and started to adore modern diesel engine technology.
On the other hand, the GT TSI is something that rekindles old romance. It gives you a rush of a different kind, one which involves revving a sweet petrol engine right to its limit. It brings back memories, when downshifting and then watching the rev counter climb was thrilling, against riding a wave of torque in the same gear. The Polo GT TSI also is a rare car packed with technology like a dual-clutch gearbox, ESP, ABS, EBD, but no CCTV. So if you are reading this and the smell of petrol is missing in your life, stop following the ticker on a financial news channel. Take a good look at this machine, there aren’t many examples like this one which can truly enhance the octane rating of your blood.
