Cost cutting on Newer Polo and Vento Models 💸

[vlogsingh]

Engine was not provided by the company so i added it into my polo

Because Polos were sold in a lot of countries and remained more of less the same (MK5) throughout their markets, one can add a lot of features in Indian Polo by getting parts from a French Polo (obviously both should be MK5). Also, parts are so much standardised in VW that Polo can even accommodate Jetta’s seats (with ventilation & memory function) and no one can say it isn’t a standard Polo fitment. Polo can also use many Golf GTI’s parts. There was a 1.6Ltr NA 4cylinder Polo that was amazing to drive. If I had that much money, I’d still be swapping parts in and out of my Polo.

Government is imposing huge tax on these companies, they are bound to do it

For the last one --before 2014 doors used to have weight...so I had to add some stones in it to make it heavier😂😂😂😂

I love my 2016 1.2 Polo GT! Recently completed 1 Lakh kms. Nice GTI steering wheel! Cheers.

I’m fortunate enough to own one of the last polo gt tsi before it was discontinued. It still is a strong car ❤

Engines and build quality was very much better before 2014

My 2010 1.6 mpi ..I can say feels.liek a tank and even the bumpers eventhough they look blunt is super strong not like paper in newer gen cars

I never realised about the arm rest and the ring in the newer ones. We have the 2011 Vento with the 1.6 TDI and it has both of those. It originally came with fabric but we had it changed to a softer material and also had the centre arm rest also changed to a little softer and more supportive specifically for my dad's driving style.

This polo never sold well in the Philippines since it was so archaic compared to the Mazda 2 which was just bigger, more powerful, premium, modern, better transmission, 4 disc brakes. Literally the polo never stood a chance. Even the automatic transmission was slow to respond but to be fair it was an old model and I'm surprised to still see it new in India. Sad that they didn't bring the new euro spec polo here though.

As long as engine is the same no issues

Can u plsss tell me wr did u get installed gti steering?? Wats d price for it

[syedzainsz]

Before 2014-16 there is a polo but abhi nahi hai 😢

[abhineetsingh]

My polo is 2013 highline and yes it has 4kops in the rear boot and when I upgrade the stereo to rcd340 then it shows the ops lines on the stereo otherwise that ops didn’t work and when they started giving touch stereo in 2014 they removed the ops like why the ?

Quick question: did you install that head unit with CarPlay aftermarket? If so, from which website did you buy it?

[rnrtushar]

Did i see polo with electric seat adjustment and memory function damn

[anuragvaghela]

May be you are right but doing cost cuttings in interior is better than compromising safety ratings and airbags in car means compromising directly with life of driver and passenger.many brands like maruti suzuki/Kia does with Indian consumer

[vingu]

Cool additions buddy. Could you pls share how you got the electronic seat adjustments? Is there any video which you've already shared?

[umesh]

Absolutely right. In 2016 I bought second hand Polo 2012 model . I used that car for 4 and half year and later sold it. Having used German car for 4 yrs i didnt find that comfort and safety in any other car so i decided to buy New Polo. When i took test drive in 2021 i was very upset looking at the n numbers of compromise VW has done on Polo. Be it engine size, built quality, car weight, side mirror size and other features. They have done hell lot of compromise and ruined iconic Polo.

Bro where did you get the electric adjustments and lambar support for your car ? I would love to have it in my polo.
