I am so jealous of you having a turbo attached to your engine, a remap will unlock a sizeable amount of performance!
I bought the Polo 1.5 TDI specifically for highway use. The problem I am facing on the highways is over small culverts and when there is a sharp level change in tarmac. I get a cabin jolt if I drive over them above 50. The issue is compounded by the fact that the car rides on 16 inch alloys. Better dampers and springs should help in mitigating this issue.

You read about the Sach's Touring Dampers more in this very well documented thread of Suhaas307 Polo GT TSI: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/long-...version-4.html

I will get a remap done post the suspension upgrade and a BBK installation. I feel that is much important especially on Indian highways.

I would say that Polo MPI is really underrated in the market. Its a safe and strong family hatchback with one of the best ride quality out there. If you are power hungry GT/TSI is the one for you.
The DTE is never what it is initially.

Anyone looking for dumping fuel efficiency for cost-effective driving comfort and safety, this was the car to own. The no-nonsense driving pleasure and instant adaptability indeed makes this tailor-made like you rightly said.

Had a fantastic service experience at VW Metropolitan Delhi. I will now have to take it to the Kolkata Service Center and am saying "amen" a few times. Hoping it goes well.

3 years in November, 31000 km, intense city driving and highway drives. Superb maneuverability. And I am okay with the engine sound at start and at higher RPMs though my father hates it.
