Thank you Sohel! :-)

[@ravibasera1]

I bought this car, tsi manual in August 20, and i feel redemeed by the most informative performace review of it that i have come across. I am glad that the reviewer has captured exactly my experience of the polo tsi manual. I also felt that gear downshift is resistive, gear stick length little difficult to reach, breaking is hard at times, at low rev than 1500 car is dead in higher gears for acceleration. Clutch pedal throw length is too long. But, man, on highways, this car is baap of many big cars, and on ghats it is even baap of baaps. Only city drive in heavy bumper to bumper traffic and hill hold on slow moving traffic is tiring in this car. Overall i am happy and feel lucky that i chose a great car for my first individual buy. Happy revving folks 😊

@@vikrantsingh6916 well, I have an 8 year old (second hand) Mini Cooper S R56, the BMW second Gen with the Turbo Petrol 1.6 L Peugeot Prince N18 engine. This was the first Gen in India. Nothing really comes close to the fun factor this car gives. A couple of pals of mine have the VW GTi’s and yes those are the perfect ‘sleeper’ cars because they look so innocuous and pack such a lot of punch.

@Vikrant This or the swift when it comes to handling on tighter corners? Not talking about the engine. Just the handling and the grip levels.

Swift gives you a little of lift off oversteer that makes it fun in the corners, the Polo with the new smaller engine also feels lively with a lighter front end but it still stays more neutral , especially with the larger wheels
