    Gavin is really taking these reviews to the next level. I remember earlier the Autocar reviews just used to be about space and power and other standard stuff. No one ever talked from a car enthusiasts perspective and the little things about a car makes you feel, from the way this guy speaks you can understand he really loves cars and that is paramount when it comes to being a good car reviewer. Keep it up!

      Everyway : POWER, better driveability, better looking interior and more spacious than the basic 'german' interior and the lack of an "i need a german luxury car but can't afford any of the real luxury models with the options" image. Not to mention cheaper maintenance.

      I would buy the polo gti even if I had the money to buy the octavia RS.
      perks of owning a polo gti
      1) Easly parkable anywhere especially in cities like Bangalore
      2) Hardly anyone would notice that you got a beast under the hood since it looks just like the regular polo
      3) way cheaper than the octivia rs right now
      4) Power to weight ratio is off the charts
      5) More room for ecu remapping, it has the same engine as the rs only difference is the displacement which is less only by 200 cc. with an ecu remap it can produce the same amount of power as an RS and will have a way better power to weight ratio.

    Hello sir.
    First of all I want to thank you for making such a wonderful videos. I get to learn a lot from your videos. I really appreciate your efforts.
    I want to purchase a car, so I request you please suggest the best option for me.
    Budget - 1.5lac to 2lac
    Condition - used
    Usage - 100km a day ( I frequently need to travel for marketing purpose)
    Seeking for - low maintenance and good mileage. Means overall cost of running should be less.
    Fuel - LPG or Diesel
    Also this will be my first car.
    I know this is very less budget but please suggest me the best option.
    Thank you.
    Apologies for trouble.
