2020 Polo 6R Indian Spec 1.0 TSI with AISIN 09G

Image
Actually wanted to put this post up on UKPolos, but because of their rules, I was forbidden from doing the same. Gave me a very TeamBHP vibe and so here I am. Back to my base. Starting Friends I happened to pickup an Indian Polo 6R which is now sold here with a 1.0 TSI Engine paired to the AISIN 09G Torque Converter Gearbox. This Polo joins a stable of a MK5 1.9 TDI (BXE) DQ250 DSG Jetta and an AD1 Tiguan 2.0 TDI(CRFD) DQ500 DSG.  A high preference was given to the Polo over other manufacturers because of the happy VW fanboy that I am and the obvious fact that the Polo is still a very respectable car with good fundamentals like a wonderful engine , a solid build and ride and it is immensely mod friendly !
