My 2017 Volkswagen Polo GT TSI: They don't make 'em like that any more

On the open highway, this car is pure thrill, aditionally you will get an average of 18-20 kmpl.

Few cars have held their value as well as the GT TSI has . As most of the owners (self drivers mostly) continue their love affair with this beauty , very few cars are up for sale in the market. This model is much maligned with the threat of sudden huge expense of a DSG failure. However, I dont find too many owners in this forum reporting an actual failure.

My 2017 baby has 32000km on the clock and I am madly possessive about her. This car is compact, well built , perfect road manners , good audio and in short what else is available for 7 lakhs in the present market ,assuming that 7 lakhs is what I will get, if I were to sell now.

Very few cars can depreciate from 11 lakhs to 7 lakhs in 7 years. Only irritants I have faced with the car in the last 7 years is failure of 4 or 5 sensors. And a water pump failure. The car is still running on the original set of tyres and I do see more than 50% tread remaining. But no doubt ,for safe running the tyres should be replaced.

My only grouse against this car ( and VW cars in general) is poor battery life - you are asking for trouble if you keep using a battery beyond 3 years.

On the open highway, this car is pure thrill , aditionally you will get and average of 18-20 kmpl.

This car is a classic, it is sad the VW discontinued production. They dont make 'em like that any more.
