Driving Report: Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TDi-CR

Recently Test Driven is the Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TDi(Common-Rail Diesel).

Beginning from the;
LOOKS:Clearly the car is the winner amongst the current crop of the cars & design is so Simple that it'll suit to the tastes of everyone & will not age anytime soon.
Paint Finish is excellent with Top class finishing & Gloss.
Even VW offers 3-years Unconditional Warranty on its Paint against Cracks & Peeling off & 6-years Unconditional Anti-Perforation Warranty for its Bodyshell.
Build Quality is excellent with Doors closing with Excellent Thud.
Definitely this car won't age atleast before 10 years.

INTERIORS:
While Stepping into the Inside, Greeted by the Well-built & High-Quality Interiors.
Simplistic by design & Functional by usage.
Instrument Console & Meter dials are too legible, Clear & ease to use.
Steering is Tilt & Telescopically adjustable for Rake & Reach even in base versions.

ENGINE & PERFORMANCE:
Powered by 1.2l Common-Rail, 3-cylinder engine which churns out 75PS of Max Power at 4200Rpm & 180Nm of Max torque at 2000Rpm. Firing it feels l'll bit Noisy at Idle, though not as Cluttery as CRDi engines but smoothens out very soon, almost within a Minute & gets almost Inaudible On the move, making the passengers nearly Impossible to make out whether its a Diesel or an Petrol enigned car.
If Official Reports are to be believed this 3-cyl engine is way efficient(both thermally & performance-wise) than Similar capacity 4-cylinder engine & Its On Road behaviour clearly shows this the way he pulls this car weighing 1.2 tonnes.
Turbo kick becomes evident at around 2000Rpm & can be experienced best in 2nd or 3rd Gears. Torque spread by this engine is equally balanced beginning from Low range to Top range & One can never feel that this car is powered by the Smallest, Powerful yet most efficient Diesel engine engine in its class & One can easily cruise in this car at speeds around 120kmph with Relaxed engine & composed Suspension with 15-Inch Alloys doing complete justice with its Body charactersics.
Bad or Undulated Roads isn't altogether a problem for this German baby.
Highway Mile munching is the forte of this car with its lighter Steering feel.

Fuel efficiency is also one of the best which is in the region of 21kmpl+ for Highway cycles, considering the blend of Performance & Practicality she offers.

VERDICT:
With Base Price tag of 5.67 lacs for its TDi Diesel version, its 1st two variants makes excellent case for Sensible & VFM buy while its Fully loaded Highline variant goes out of the VFM range & seems to be purely meant for Higher Strata for car buyers.
However another variant Mid-Way between Its middle(Comfortline) & top-end(Highline) variant makes a strong case to be considered by even more of the 1st time Premium hatchback buyers.
