Overall Ratings
I love my car. It's like love and hate relationship. My family members hate it for lack of rear space, but I love it for the rigid body shield and driving pleasure.
Issue I faced
Frequent suspension issues and steering part problems. Turbo changed at 88000 km, just when extended warranty expired and I neared the huge expense. Front suspension changed 3 times in 1.2 lakh km, rear suspension changed twice. Water pump failed twice. Engine has developed back compression post diesel gate scam software update. Vaccum pump changed once. Alternator and ac compressor changed once also. I am planning for engine overhauling once I got delivery of Nexon ev max in next month.
Conclusion
Despite of all these issues I will keep it with me and will never sell it out. My wife uses it for 170km on daily basis on highway. There is sense of security that your family member is in a polo in today's fatal highway conditions. My polo is part of my life and I am proud of it. As a Vw owner you can relate to my words.
