The car achieves speeds of 80-90 km/h with ease. It takes a great deal of self-control to drive it at a slower pace.

Hello Bhpians,
Just got my Polo TSI Comfortline MT delivered two days ago.
Being a dieselhead and having lived with Swift diesel, my initial consideration was Altroz diesel due to higher running requirements, but the Polo was available for immediate delivery and a single test drive sealed the deal for me.
After driving it 250kms in two days, I’m happy with my decision to go with the Polo.
The 1.0 TSI is a gem. It achieves speeds of 80-90km with ease and on the highways, the engine is barely awake at 1.5 – 2k rpm and knowing that there is still 4000 rpm of usable power is amazing.
It takes a great deal of self-control and mindfulness to drive this car at a slower pace.
However, the alternate thread about the poor quality of suspension and steering column of the current VW products is giving me heartburn since the purchase.
I’m following the recommended methods regarding the run-in period, but I would like to get a few pointers from my fellow Polo owners regarding the run-in period and are there any reliability issues with the current TSI engines?
Here’s what BHPian TeaYesEye had to say about the matter:
Congratulations, Praneeth, on your new ride. Welcome to the TSI family.
Do not lose your sleep on people’s opinions. Polo is still one of the best-built cars. To share my experience, I have driven for about 12 hours straight through different terrains like smooth roads, no-roads, ghat sections, cruised at 120kmph, etc., and I still had enough energy to drive more!
I agree it’s not what it was back then, but locally sourced does not mean cheap quality. Trust the process, enjoy your ride and live the moment.
Remember there was no and will be no “Perfect” car!

Congratulations on your new beauty! Comfortline sure is VFM given the performance it delivers plus those alloys!
By the way, what year your Polo is from?

Congratulations on your purchase.
I have completed almost 6k kms and broke some run-in period rules (only a few times for some kms) & the car doing really good so far.
Enjoy your ride, mate.
