1.0 TSI MT 🤩

[@sarthakvarshney1438]

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.

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!!

Thank you Team Evo for having us. Was super fun ❤️❤️❤️

[@mdanas0007]

Im also having pain in the neck. How yo got cured yours?

[@viveknagarajan3166]

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!

[@SwapnilMore19]

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.

[@borkarms]

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....

[@TheSwapnil1999]

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.

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.

[@PrateekVerma46]

What a refreshing video. Loved it ❤️

[@challengerpilot]

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 : )

[@lokeshhodophile4655]

I have never subscribed to this channel but this video earned it. This channel definitely needs more subscribers. Great work 👍

[@easternprestige]

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😍😇

[@jayace3458]

While other channels are busy capitalising the hype around new launches, here we have Evo. Real enthusiasts

[@harshajadenur6441]

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.

[@nilesh0]

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.

[@shahan484]

so YOU literally started EVO India?? massive respect

[@akshaynaik9965]

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. ❤️❤️

[@saibalgupta1359]

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.

[@ipranayverma]

I still use my polo cross regularly.. and trust me it's engine never made me regret my decision.. 👍🏼

[@rohit.79GG]

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

[@dlpsr2361]

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

[@mohammedfarman1056]

I hope I achieve it

[@dhruvshetty.95]

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.

[@balachandra]

Well, if luck is on our side, VW might launch a facelift in 2024 according to some websites.

[@prasadhavaldar968]

It's a great episode.. loved it. You could have added spec sheet in between the video for every variants.

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.

[@RakeshPatel-bn9ei]

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.

[@sahilshaikh3983]

The best video i have seen of polo till now. All the polo's at one roof

[@aashutoshbhagat2677]

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.

[@manishpillai369]

@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.🙂

[@zomurani2587]

great video

[@c63w204W]

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

[@amansinha476]

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..

[@iamniks]

Wow so amazing to see all polo's in one frame ❤️

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.

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.

[@atulsingh16]

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.
