For a buyer like me it is going to be a single daily driver with no standby or second car. What I am looking for is a fun to drive yet reliable car. Mechanicals should be bullet-proof. |

:OT Hi Shibujp, If car with bullet proof reliability and yet fun to drive is what you are looking for, you should reconsider Polo GT. IMHO, a pre-worshiped Civic AT will fit your bill perfectly. It puts a smile on your face every time you drive it, a friend's friend is selling his Civic and even after booking Polo I was tempted to go for it considering the money I would save. Only the fact that it was involved in a minor crash last year and my need for a hatchback kept me away!! Cheers, D |

Disagree here on civic, though civic engine is good, the AT gearbox lets it down. It is no where close to dsg. As far as engine + gearbox combo is concerned polo GT is the best under 10lakhs. |

If I remember right, the Ford Fiesta Petrol AT is priced very similar to this. I think less than 50K difference after discounts will get you the Fiesta AT. It may not have as good an engine as the TSI but performance is not bad and with similar DSG box as well. Dynamics of the Fiesta are even better than the Polo and you get a proper sedan with a huge boot for the price. Very under rated but I think it's the best AT in the segment right now. |

I was thinking the same when driving the TSI , not on the price point, but on the same gearbox. If the prices are similar on both the Fiesta and TSI, it definitely a worthy competitor to the TSI. The only minus being it does not have quick engine like the TSI . I have heard the 1.5 petrol is not as good as the 1.6 Classic engine. |

Why only the ecosport AT. I've heard really good things about the ecoboost which is also a turbocharged one. I think vw's target audience will be more interested in that. |

Dear Madam / Sir: I am in the process of buying the Polo GT 1.2 TSI. However when I did some research on it, I discovered that there have been recalls of the DQ 200, DSG units in countries, including China, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan. In fact VW spokesman in Japan has said that (http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/...0DQ14M20130509 ) "the problems were due to the hot and wet climate, the extreme stop-and-go traffic as well as pollution typical of some Asian cities." If that be the case then it implies that the DQ 200, which is also used in Polo GT 1.2 TSI will also face the same problems albeit with higher frequency (as seen in the Skoda Superb as well). 1. Does the DQ 200 DSG box fitted in the Polo GT in India is similar to the replaced DSG units in China and other places? 2. Why does VW believe that this will not cause problems in the Polo GT? I will wait for your clarifications before making the purchase. |
