    Though the car fails to impress very analytic & logical Indian consumers , still Volkswagaon is very agressive in offerring with Polo GT , It has quite impressive specs in segment like Dual front airbags, rear parking sensors and ABS or Anti-lock Braking system ORVM with turn indicators, Glovebox cooling, electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs and Cruise control. 👍 well hats off to VW for offerrings but still here they are dealing with Indian buyers which are one the best while investing in cars 😁 Let see how they respond to this Package 👍 . Though I am Fond of VW brand and I like VW Vento like anything but didn't get chance to drove Polo , But on the experience of Vento I can say Polo will be fun to drive.
