Sad to see her go. Personally I never cared about touchscreens and gizmos. Cars like Polo did the fundamentals right; looks, engine, mechanicals and ergonomics. To a real driving enthusiast, it's all that matters.
Respect it's the Polo GT.. what a tagline for a great car and an affordable german beast for the mass market.
Bought the 1.2 GT TSI in 2015 and still using it. By far the best small car made in India. Won my heart within a few seconds of driving it. The DSG is way better than the CVT or whatever else is there in cars even priced 3x of it. Pure gold!
My First Car ,the 1.6 GT TDI , what a bomb.
1.4 lakh kms done , still as strong as it was in 2014.
Those who have owned one only know its value, others keep complaining about back seat space and lack of TOUCH interface.
Breaks my heart to see the Polo go after nearly 9 years and countless memories with mine. Still works like the day I bought it and manages to put a smile on my face around bends and long stretches alike. Farewell old friend
Thank you VW for the budget German hatchback Polo. After driving around in one for 7 years looking forward for few more years with it along with Vento TDI DSG done 5 years and combined 100k kms nothing can replace them. Farewell legends
Got 2 Polos. 1.5 TDI and 1.2 GT TSI with DSG. The diesel well above 1lakh km on the odo and the petrol nearing the 1lakh km mark. Both fit as a fiddle and never failed to put a smile on my face from day 1.
We've upgraded to cars of higher segments now. But these 2 will always remain close to my heart and I'll try to hold on to it and not sell it even though it's becoming a bit more cumbersome to maintain.
Farewell to the legend 🥰
I saved up years of salary to get my dream car polo from my childhood, and now when I have money I can't buy a new one. Life is strange and unpredictable.
Upon getting my wings in 1977, I purchased my first new Volkswagen. It was a platinum grey Scirocco. My latest one was a red GTI. I loved their driving dynamics. Now that I reside in Bharat, my heart always warms up when I see a Polo GT. ✔️.
My first car ❤️. Even with all the trouble it gave me i am still and will always be a vw fan. Booked the virtus gt, hope there will be some trace of polo dna ✌🏼
Man, what a car!
Timeless design looks as fresh as ever!
Cracker of a diesel engine, confidence-inspiring handling, compliant suspension
The only sore point being the backseat space
Farewell, Polo. You've been brilliant ♥️
no car ever got such beautiful farewell such as Polo
My first car since 2012 and still with me ..I simple love it
This is my first car and this is the best one I have experienced in this segment so far. The machine you can trust during your road trips.
I had the 2012 VW Polo TDI. Used it for 10 long years. Great build quality. Although it was under powered, it was very fuel efficient.
Glad that own a Polo 2021 model HL+ Manual. It’s truly an amazing machine!!!!
I was blessed to get the GT TSI when I was 19 years old. Now I'm 22, and I couldn't have chosen a better car. Just pure bliss and puts a smile on my face 😇😇🥳
Missing those lovely memories and moments with the Legendary polo..💕
Though polo was not my 1st car, but it surely was the 1st brand new car that i got after i took a test drive of its rivals and found polo to be superb in its built quality and handling, a pure german feel, i got my polo 1.2 tdi in 2011 and still have it, with all the travel dairies of around 1 lakh kms on the odo...a true german hatchback.
We got one of the first polos in bangalore…booked a diesel highline…waited almost 8 months and then when the time of delivery came diesel model wasn’t available had to wait 6 more months…so we went wit petrol highline pepper grey…and never ever regretted one day gettin this wonderful car…still remember watchin soo many videos and reviews mostly german about the car n visualising my self driving one…on the d day of delivery it felt soo good…it was raining heavily n finally the first glimpse…n it was love…my brother drove it with me in the back seat and it felt soo secure soo pleasant and soo much upmarket…cmein from i20 to polo as the next polo felt a lot of notches higher in feeling safe and also the speakers…damn those factory kenwood ones were too good…m goin everywhere here i know but it was and still is an emotion…and i still have the same car with me cmpltd over 2.7lakh kms and still feels good ❤️
I would love to buy the new Polo if they decide to launch it in India... I am always fascinated by Polo since childhood....
Farewell Legend 🥺. I was dreaming of buying since many year. This was supposed to be my 1st car. But now that dream will always remain a dream. It may feel sad to lose such masterpiece but it has left behind the essence of perfect car on the hearts of Car lovers.
I may died with the regret of not buying my 1st car a brand new vw polo, but I'll die in relief that I've seen the end of the era of such legendary car 😌💓
Seriously POLO is going to discontinue 😭😭😭
Thank you so much AUTOCAR INDIA for Remind Us about this Beast last time 😭😭😭😭
Let it be very clear, the VW Polo model did not leave India or the subcontinent but its otherway around. And its secondary to the year on year low sales of the model because of the customers ignorance and lack of awareness in this part of the world as we seem not to value the quality, engineering, and the resilience of a car.
The Polo is going to be produced and carry on in the European market and elsewhere in the world even after 46 long years of amazing history when it was introduced first........................
Hats off to the great engineering and time tested engine, architecture and platform its made on !
Proud to be a VW Polo owner............
The legend and history would still carrying on.......
I had December 2011 TDI model still going well. Yesterday I changed tyre Yokohama Earth1, old same Yokohama tyre running 72000km above. I achieved highest mileage of 34.5kmpl. Very much like to drive this car any mode of driving.💞💖😍
It kinda feels sad honestly 12 years of success and history it's eye watering
This isn't a farewell this... This is just a small bump on the road 😅🥲
Loved watching this! This car will surely sit in the hall of fame.
Such an emotional goodbye hope this car would be launched sometime currently owning 1.2 polo highline
There is nothing like a Polo....The best Hatchback.....it was fun car to drive...always brought a smile on your face.
Respect to the legend 🔥❤️
Proud owner of a gt tsi. It’s a beauty
Luckily im exchanged my mpi to tsi, and still a proud owner. ♥️VW
Polo 1.5 tdi is the really gem every day it makes enthusiasts drive 😍😘 polo diesel is love
Farewell legend.... 😭 God didn't bless me to have you 😭
Broke My Heart so Badly...💔🥺
Proud owner of a Polo GT TSI. Its a future classic, especially 1.0 TSI Manuals.
I wish she will come back to Indian market. Only one who drives polo know what it is.
Owned the Polo 1.6 Litre petrol . What a lovely machine . So many memories. Just sold it yesterday. All good things makes way for better things .
Enthusiast can only feel the pain. Those gizmos Indian consumer seeks , you guys can never know what this car is all about. #loveyouvwpolo
Its not outdated , you feel the touch with buttons but not with screen! In todays world crazy people wants everything in screen. If you really love driving you only need Steering , Gear & Music to cheer
Grateful to have owned of the best hatchbacks of all time here in India. Drove the TDI for more than 8 years. Best in class build quality, superb engine and one of the best drive and ride quality.
Farewell to the Legend ! Will miss you forever.
I’m honoured to have the latest edition. What an absolute banger of a car. Sad to see her go.
I always felt the solidity of the VW Polo and Vento's build, the way they have the thud sound it feels like someone just shot a bullet from a pistol..
Polo is legend, I am a proud owner
Many cars may come and go but this will be the most unique and loveliest car I have seen in my whole life till date. ❤️❤️
We will miss the VW Polo 😢
Time to say goodbye to the their PQ200 Platform as well 😫
Waiting for VW to launch the the All New Second Generation Polo in India 🙂
Ture Polo has already started showing its age from the Interior 7:27
We have some hope from VW 8:58
Goodbye? We just getting started!! This is definitely going to be my next car!
Tomorrow Iam going to buy a pre owned 1.0tsi manual 🖤❤️💛
@Autocars India, I really love to see the new gen polo in India. It's such an awesome machine. 🥰❤. I miss the current gen Polo 😔😔😔
This was my dream car in my childhood and will ever be my favorite sad that couldn't get a chance to drive it.ADIOS VW POLO GT TSI
Polo will forever in an enthusiat's heart❤😢
Goodbye to the Polo. In Mexico we got the Indian Polo and it's been my daily driver for some months. It is a bit outdated by today's standards in terms of safety and technology, but what really convinced me was the driving experience, the sturdiness and the looks. Compared to other subcompacts it's solidness is on another league, and stuff like screens or LED lights can be easily added thanks to a lot of aftermarket options. I hope we get the new Polo when they start building it there.
This is the best ever... Hatch ever sold in Indian Market....
No car can match even its shadow....
Heart breaking 💔 news...😭😭
It’s not a car, it’s an emotion.
2-months ago got 2nd hand POLO (2011) 1.2-TDI, damn what a beast, after all these years it gives spectacular mileage, around 29 km/l on highways.
I own vitara brezza, but my hot time favorite was polo from my college days, too bad I didn't have it...
When polo launched in india i was 7 now i am 18 and i still want this car so bad 🥹
One of the best offortable European cars under 10 lakh.
I hope Citroen C3 can fill the little space of Polo. 1.2l turbo looks like drivers (of small pockets) delight.❤️❤️❤️
But my journey has just started with a Polo GT TDI 2017 model ...just Yesterday... Polo is born Again !!
What a lovely respect for the car which had few negatives also..A sad thing to polo fans to see their baby missing.hope a wonderful car like polo with allround positive things hit the Indian market soon..
VW Polo and Fiat Punto my favorite Hatchbacks.
Saddened, wanted one badly!
Miss u Poloo
My first car sad to see it go but the good news is that Jetta and Polo both will make a comeback next year with a completely redesigned exteriors and interiors
The Polo lives on in the Taigun, it’s spiritual successor.
Grew up wanting a Polo and now this
goodbye polo but u still remain in our hearts.
A hatchback that truly offered what buyers expected from a small car.
I’ve owned this beauty. Still miss it.
So sad to see it being discontinued...first the Figo and now the polo...good hatches getting the axe..hope they get the new gen in the future...
❤️❤️❤️ Just pure love for this amazing car!
sad but i am satisfied and glad that I bought one TDI in 2019
Hope someday we would see a polo hatch back in India.I’m sure that it would be the most selling unit year of Volkswagen polo.❤️ you Volkswagen ❤️
Polo gt tsi 💥❤️ . Its an emotion
I have Red polo from last 10years. I'm still loving it. Even if joke that let's sell polo and go for new car, my daughters simply say NO. They too love it.

I was fortunate to drive in test drives... But could get into my garage 😞...
