Conclusion
The Polo 1.6 TDi may not be the most correct choice for a market driven by low price tags and high fuel efficiencies. However, for the discerning customer, a car cannot get more correct than this. I am a sucker for diesel cars, as I appreciate their usability, performance and frugality in the real world. I also love the fact that their efficiency, unlike petrol cars doesn’t swing too drastically depending on your driving style.
Space is one of the lacunae with the Polo in general, and so it is with the GT TDI as well, but apart from that, I believe that it’s the best machine you can buy for Rs 8.1 lakh ex-showroom if going fast, and getting entertained is the only thing on your mind. It’s officially the best mainstream drivers’ diesel hatchback I have ever driven in India.
