Do you have a fond memory of the Polo? Let's hear it and tell us which is your favourite variant of the Polo
Still own 1.2 tdi Polo and its gem of a car..❤️
1.0 TSI MT 🤩
sitting in my relative's 2014 tsi polo and seeing it touch 100 in no time on Yamuna expressway for me is still a great memory and also that cramped up last seats where we sat with difficulty. So good memories.
do a video on skoda fabia would love to see
I have a 2021 Polo HL+ Manual and I love this machine. It generates 114bhp !!! I will always keep this even if I buy bigger and better cars in future!!! A gem of a car!!
I own a POLO GT TDI 1.5, with 1.60 Lakh km in 7 years with fule economic of 21.5KMPL for my daily office drive. Love u VW ❤️
best version for efficiency and power..and manual
I too own same 2014. Done 1.60 lakh km too
I own 1.5 tdi
I am buying polo 1.6L petrol manual second hand but people saying that polo is soo mush costly and it parts and wating long time , what can I do sir
@@ravijatt6853 earn more?
I've seen every Polo video on this channel and I've come to the conclusion that 'Tortional Regidity' is Sirsh sir's favourite term :p
*Torsional Rigidity
Thank you Team Evo for having us. Was super fun ❤️❤️❤️
Superb .....loved each and every minute of this Episode, so much passion in every word. Proud owner 2014 PoLO 1.6GT TDI ( my first car)
That combination of performance , build quality ,handling and efficiency at that price was , is and will remain unmatched, going strong as new after 140k kms still delivering 20+ kmpl on highway runs.....what a Car....
2008 1.8 GTI Cup Edition owner here. Makes close to 200bhp. Absolute blast to drive, just a pain in the neck to service!
Im also having pain in the neck.
How yo got cured yours?
What a tribute @Evo India.
I'm feeling really proud to own the legendary machine, The Polo 1.0 TSI
You guys should push VW India to bring back the Polo facelift.
Such a lovely tribute to Polo and that finish with the Taigun was brilliant. I could absolutely relate to the fact that the Taigun has Polo’s genes. I had to trade in my Polo for the Taigun GT. The first thing I felt after spending some time with the Taigun was that it was as if my Polo evolved and got bigger.
I was wondering why no one was talking about it. It came as a pleasant surprise when you mentioned😍😇
Lovely tribute to the Polo…. Extremely proud to own two of them. 😀❤️
You guys missed out on the 1.0 L MPI engine that Polo had as a replacement to the old 1.2 MPI. With 76 ps and slightly lower(compared to old 1.2 MPI) 95 nm torque, it was also quite refined and fuel efficient with better NVH levels. It was just adequate for city and occasional highway trips.
While I agree that Taigun offers everything that Polo missed, it is not yet the perfect upgrade for existing Volkswagen Polo, Vento owners. It still misses out on a lot like:
1. Fit and Finish issues: exposed screws, cheap sun visor, cheap roof-liner (improved from the first lot but not quite up to the standards). Polo Vento had better plastics and just better overall fit and finish. I still feel the door thud of Polo Vento is better than 2.0 cars.
2. Puny horn - just doesn’t sound VW enough.
3. Signature VW feature - Opening/Closing windows via remote.
4. One touch up down for all four power windows.
The 2.0 cars are appealing to the ones who are new to VW Group. But unfortunately these shortcomings are putting off the loyalists and existing owners who wish to upgrade within the same brand. These are not big issues but definitely play a role in decision making for a customer.
However, a big thank you to Volkswagen for keeping the driving dynamics intact. I completely agree that even the MQB A0 IN cars are fantastic to drive. ❤️❤️
Got a 1.6 petrol highline, 85k done n still a beast ❤️❤️
1.6 MPI, mine done 1,42,000 km, Going smooth and soundless.
Absolutely loved the video! I had the polo 1.6 MPI back in college and loved it so much. Even with a stage 2 tune and free flow exhausts, it was no match for stock GT TSIs but the car had so much character and there was such a sense of pride watching Sirish hoon the 1.6 on the rally stage. Had such fond memories that I got myself a 09 GTI as my first car in the US!
While other channels are busy capitalising the hype around new launches, here we have Evo. Real enthusiasts
2014 I had gone to test drive newly launched i20 , next door was VW showroom just thought casually of taking a polo test drive , rest is history from that day till today I am driving POLO …..
Thank u Sirish to come up with a vlog on our loving polo. We own 2014 1.2 l petrol model in grey colour. We love it. Bought it for my wife. She really adores it. Mainly used fir city drives but occasionally we take it on highways. It doesn't disappoint in performance. Driven at 150km per hour. So stable, grippy and wow cornering. I own 2013 Rapid. I love these German cars. I donot intend to upgrade for now. Love both the cars. Thanks again for the beautiful vlog Gone but not Forgotten. Love you.
Lovely tribute to Polo.....Gone but not forgotten......Proud to have Vento 1.6 TDI even after passing 10 years the beast roars on roads....Massive Respect to Polo & @evoindia.
I'm from GOA 🏖 I have seen cross polo long ago in 2014 near margao and that's it after almost 9 years I haven't seen a cross polo again it's that rare.
so YOU literally started EVO India?? massive respect
I still use my polo cross regularly.. and trust me it's engine never made me regret my decision.. 👍🏼
Thank you EvoIndia. I've had a Polo 1.6 from 2011. Still works well and has never failed me. As nice as the Taigun sounds, it's still a small SUV/MPV and not a hot hatch : )
The sort of noises that came out of Sirish sir's mouth out of excitement in this video are a testimony to the feeling this car can give an enthusiastic. I've always wanted a Polo. Could never own one. Considered a used one, but was scared of the ownership costs. I hope they launch the facelift though.
Well, if luck is on our side, VW might launch a facelift in 2024 according to some websites.
It was 2012, i was a 13yr old kid who collected car pics that's when I saw the polo and vento in a magazine......soon turned into my 1st love and dreamt to own one.... after 10yrs that dream came true with the Vento....hope you all achieve your dreams
I hope I achieve it
I have never subscribed to this channel but this video earned it. This channel definitely needs more subscribers. Great work 👍
1.2tdi wasn't so frustrating as you said.. It didn't have to stress hard to get to speed or felt underpowered... I still drive it.. More than 10 years.. Impressive torque, great power and speed.. The problem was that for many people driving a diesel car was a new stuff.. And yes.. That's where the wrong impressions of less power came... Because petrol engines have good initial pick up and thrust where this 1.2 engine felt problematic..
What a refreshing video. Loved it ❤️
3:40 possibly because of the presence of Golf in the international market along with the Polo, VW would never want the cheaper Polo to be more popular than the Golf, which was one of the most popular cars, especially in Europe
I have a 2012 polo highline 1.6TDI still running like brand new ( odometer reading : 65439km ) been like almost 10years since we have owned it and no regrets at all
26:38 Flat tyre at the rear.
Damn 😅
Historical account of Polo and its evolution through time ultimately into Taigun is a very welcome move. I have also test drive all the available crossovers and compact suvs in the market and finally select Taigun GT for excellent quality of drive.
Polo was my first car which I had to wait for 6 months after booking in 2010. I really cherish the build quality and handling of Polo. The only thing I was not so impressed was 3 cylinder noisy engine and engine is to heat up quickly.
Lovely lovely video!! I still roc my TDI Vento after 11 years. Same character minus the space issue. In a way that's a tribute to the original hatchback it is based on.
What are you saying, I owned the 1.2 MPI and never felt lack of power on Highways, had many fun and fond memories. Yes it was not as fast as TSI but 1.2 MPI, drove in 140 kms as well sometime and never felt any lack of confidence. It just hugged the road.
Hats off to VW's commitment to promoting driving enthusiasm in india...Polo is a great example of that....this legend will always live in enthusiast's heart
Lucky to still have 1.5 TDI my third VW in diesel ❤ Completed more than 3 lakhs kms in total till date in these still going strong ❤
14:38 saw this beast today morning and I was soo obsessed with it that I couldn't resist myself without taking a picture with it
Kudos for putting this video and models together. I own 1.6 GT TDI Red Polo with 2.25 lakh kms done and still running at its best. Performance comfort enthusiast driver car. Love you GT. VW should bring back polo. Indians wills welcome with open hands again 🎉
26:37 The car is basically running on flat tires at the left rear
Still remember when I test drove the 1.2 tdi (may be it wss petrol I don't remember) back in 2009. It was my first time driving a German, the sales executive took me to the highway for the test drive and I was totally awestruck by the stability and solidity of the vehicle, have never experienced anything like it (coming from a maruti). Even though it has been said 1.2 tdi was a slow motor with a lag below 1800 rpm but for a guy coming from Maruti.. Polo was a different world, though I was a fan of swift at the time but polo was magnificent/class apart.
Evo India please keep pushing VW to bring back the Polo whether in CKD form CBU form whatever.
Which maruti you came from?
@@vishnupillai300 Wagon R
@@atulsingh16 wagonR is scary handler... Did u drive wagonR again after driving the polo.... I used to drive Ritz ddis and then once drove polo GT Tdi... Ritz though a decent handler felt scarier later on...
TDI is Diesel engine 😊
1.2 tdi ,3 cylinder diesel engine
1st gen Suzuki Swift was solid
year after year quality became pathetic (from 3rd gen)
I have to drive around 200 kms. Was planning to procrastinate. Man didn't this video brought the driving thrill in me? Can't wait to get behind my Freestyle's steering wheel.
It's a great episode.. loved it.
You could have added spec sheet in between the video for every variants.
Thanks a lot Shirish to get this series of gone but not forgotten. Each and every episode gets a smile on my face and we get to know what we missed and what wonders we had in India. Each and every story is an epic and this is what we motor enthusiasts love to watch. We have not been able to experience all the mean machines out there but we live the moment with you as our own. Once again thanks for the series and we wait for many more to come. Also would love to be a part of this series live if possible. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Keep the good work going. And also thanks to share the link of all the episodes in the description.
That GTi is so tasty! There is a silver Cross Polo and a red GTi in my neighbourhood. It’s a great sports car alternative!
As usual this is great "Gone but not forgotten " episode showcasing different avatars of polo 😢 😍🙌😇.
But you should have shown us the vento and Ameo also in different avatars alongside because they are born out of the polo .
Anyway I still believe VW Skoda should have brought the 1.0 TSI engines in polo and Ameo in 2016 or 2018 atleast because VW had that engine in VW UP hatchback in Europe. The Ameo could have benefitted from it immensely as it had to run with average or underpowered petrol engines throughout its life . Most people didn't buy the Ameo because of cramped rear legroom&disproportionate boot but they would have bought it as a small affordable sport sedan from VW in sub 4mtre category.
Is that a puncture on the Taigun left rear at 26:38.?
26:38 is that a flat rear tire?
nevertheless, I was just thinking yesterday whether "Gone but not forgotten" was over. And boom! Just as VW heard you, you heard me. Kudos, Evo India. Loved this video!
Wow. Yeah, seems like a flat tire.
Good eye.
@evo india, you guys are doing awesome job by bringing up 'Gone but not forgotten' series. So many things to learn and cheer for. I wish you guys a great success ahead. Please consider to dedicate one episode to Maruthi 1000/Esteem, i believe it has a good footprint in our Indian automotive history, specially for the design back in that era.🙂
Bought the last of the 1.0 TSI manual. Never fails to impress. So many fond memories and many many more to be made on it. A true legend.. My family never found the back seats to be that cramped or any important feature to be lacking. In fact they feel more comfortable and less nauseous in my Polo as the body movement is very less on long journeys at high speeds compared to other cars. It's not spacious by any means but it felt more roomy than Swift and many other hatchbacks of its size. The new Baleno and i20 are more spacious and feature rich but none of them can ever beat the Polo on any other factor.
List of upgrades:
• Race concepts drilled rotors with carbon ceramic brake pads and steel braided brake lines (Brake fade? Not any more..)
• Philips Ultinon PRO LED headlamps (DIY upgrade, I can see things now at night)
• Reversing camera (I don't get stuck on a rock any more)
Polo is love ❤ nothing comes close. 1.6 gt tdi and 1.2 gt tsi for the road ❤
The excitement!! Can listen to it as a podcast also!!
Now we know why Sirish loves the Polo so much...it was his rally car. Those who have experience the polo platform know how wonderful it is to drive. ...sheer pleasure
This is it..!!!
Ultimate POLOs Review EVO Team.
The best video i have seen of polo till now. All the polo's at one roof
So much story telling to upsell Taigun. Did that work?..well, yes it did :)
Wow so amazing to see all polo's in one frame ❤️
I am having a Polo 2014 1.5 TDi 90 PS and 230 NM of Torque No Car comes close to this Beast . I have driven 90K Kms and there no Problem of any sort in my Car , Love the Rustic Car as it is . But Sadly due to Pollution Norms of Delhi thanks to Kejriwal and his Stupid Decision Makers I will have to Let go off the Beast this Year and Buy a New Car . I have even got a 28.1 Kmpl Mileage with it recently , Polo's Ride Quality , Engine and Driving Comfort can never be matched by any car .
Thanks VW for bringing the Legend to India and I seriously wish you Bring it back on Roads again , Once you have driven a Polo continuously , You will Never like any other Car .
I have recently booked a Kushaq 1.0 Style for a Replacement for my Old Skoda Rapid 1.5 TDi which was also 2014 Model But seriously although It's a Great car but still Polo is Polo .
Thanks for being the enthusiasts channel ❤️❤️
Best video ever on polo 🔥🔥🔥
What a video for Polo lovers...wow
You got a subscriber with this video. VW Polo is ❤
Just proud to own one! Polo TSI HL+ MT
Same here bro .. what’s the milage you get in bumber to bumber traffics ??
Still in love with my 2008 9N3 GTI polo. At 150dkm right now. Put 25dkm on that myself. Every kilometer done with a smile 🥰
My father bought the polo 1.2tdi back in 2011 and that engine use to sound the same as our Mahindra Arjun tractor! 😅🤣
I now own the GT TDI you drove to Sandakphu
Would’ve loved to give it you guys for this video
Your enthusiasm ignites ours☄
Had the opportunity to drive the 1.2 polo GT TSi and the Vento Gt TSI 1.2. The happiness these cars gave me in such short time is immence.
All i remember doing each time i took the car out was pushing that accelerator to the max to enjoy that smooth DSG thrust.
ayy i own the cross polo by the way :) and its an awesome car, didnt mind the extra spend for sure
I wanted to know about the Polo and this was my introduction and it was so beautiful.
Evo india team and Sirish never ever lets me down with its GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN episodes. It always makes me feel WHY WHY WHY goods cars go for a toss in short span of time. We want enthusiast Cars BACK!!
I own the 1.6 diesel it's a joy to drive in the highway at high speeds even giving good mileage. 10yrs of driving there are no mechanical issues yet
I have the 1.6 Petrol 2011 model. I still use it as my primary car on every day basis. If it is ever possible (Considering the conversion) then i'd like to convert into an EV in the future.
The real miracle is that none of these polos have a broken center AC vent 😅
Hey Sirish, what watch are you wearing ?
Such a lovely tribute to the love polo... VW should relaunch it...
i have a Cross Polo. Its an iconic car from VW. my most favourite hatchback.
legend! truly king of throne... we miss you polo
Proud owner of GT TSI 1.2 … legendary !!
What a presentation 🔥💯🔫
Would love to see a similar video for Ford Figo with all the variants pleaaseeeee🙌🤩
My first car was polo 1.2 mpi comfortline in a reflex silver , bit of cosmetic mods and 60k later sold the Beauty off ! Under powered yes, but the handling and build quality made up for it !
polo rx was something unique!
Next series should be on Punto
The forgotten car but should not forgotten especially by Evo india..💪
Great triibute ❤
nice video......
great video
Polo ❤
evo India 💯
I wish I could have bought one , but now it's gone. Let's hope the newer models make its way to India
Sirish - would have liked some more info. For fans of the Polo, what should we expect? Will there be a new model? Is the Golf coming to India ever?
تحياتي الخالصة من الجزاءر شكراجزيلا والله المعين
Hi
@evo India
Can u pls make a “Gone but not Forgotten" episode on the legendary SUV/MUV Tata sumo which last for 25 years...
A walk down the memory lane
Mr Sirish and Polo..Eternal love story❤
I feel ameo should also be included in this
Own a 2015 1.5 TDi Polo. This car is a gem . Every other car on highway wana race my red polo only to give up after few secs. 😀😀😀
Polo puts a smile on my face every time i push the pedal
super handling , dynamics and more importantly give u lot of confidence
never ever gave a problem in last 7 years. not even once.
Drive freestyle it will give neck to neck with polo and Figo diesel
That race polo sounds so much like a premiere Padmini being revved hard 😜
Nice Job 👍 Sirish
I was waiting for this since a very long time
Super excited
It was a good days with polo I remember back in 2014 I saw one cross polo in my family the 1.2 TDI it was good then I saw in 2017 the 1.2 GT TSI with my family member a great and a pratical car to drive with good fuel efficiency and all
Polo 1 Ltr TSI Highline Plus
Stage 1 tuned ❤️
with Valvetronics Exhaust🔥
Little Modification Done
Heaven 😇
But the 1.5 TDi in the Polo has a very good sound it makes any one a enthusiastic guy
Hi Sirish,Hope you are fine,does the 1.0 polo TSI suffer breathing problem in high Altitude like Nubra ,Spiti,Khardung la and what could be the solution,thanks in Advance.
No modern engine suffers that problem. With FI, engines have become smarter and know how to compensate for differences in air.
Proud Polo owner ♥️
