Congrats on your vehicle! It looks great. How far has she run now?

Congratulations on your Red VW Polo Highline.

When we were buying Beat me and my brother suggested VW polo tredline petrol but was rejected as the service station is 100kms.
Oh. That's sad. The showroom + service station is coming very soon at chala by-pass!

This is a 2011 version. Got it in December.

..
Have you faced any problems yet for the 2011 version? Mine was bought in October & it was a 2012 version!

Yup. Some seat noise from passenger side. It has been rectified but still there is some feeble sound heard sometimes. Apart from that, no issues.

Just like poloman asked, how come you got 2012 vehicle in Oct 2011?

@poloman & rightnow - first, I was also confused. But when I checked within the Decoding Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). I found that this was a 2012 model which was manufactured on 08.09.2011 & delivered to me on 03.10.2011!

Rightnow, did you opt for extended warranty?
No yours is diesel
You are saying 2012 because of letter C but for Diesels letter C means 2011 [clap]

Volkswagen VIN decoder

VW VIN:

17 characters (beginning with WVW...)

How to crack VIN:

4th character represents the MONTH of manufacturing
10th character represents the YEAR of Manufacturing

For Example:

If your 4th VIN character is A, then it represents the Month - Jan
If your 10th VIN character is C, then it represents the Year - 2012

Month Characters:

A - JAN
B - FEB
C - MAR
D - APR
E - MAY
F - JUN
G - JUL
H - AUG
J - SEP
K - OCT
L - NOV
M - DEC

Year Characters:

A - 2010
B - 2011
C - 2012
D - 2013
E - 2014
F - 2015
G - 2016
H - 2017
J - 2018
K - 2019

C is for 2012

How is 2012 model different from 2011?

No, I haven't opted for extended warranty as I can get it within one year from date of delivery. So may be, in a few months I might get it, and also I have to see whether extended warranty is really a wise choice.

@Poloman (Nikhil Mehta): Yesterday i saw your post in a classified section of other automotive forum, so you are selling your Polo petrol and this car was gifted to you by your inlaws and you already had the sister car called vento as mentioned in your ad, sad news for all of us.

So when you are posting the ownership review of Vento is that diesel or Petrol?

There isn't any difference!
I am also confused whether to go for extended warranty or not. If the parts of a vehicle is in faulty condition. Then, it should start the problem in the first 2 years itself instead of the 3rd or 4th year. Well, Just my view!

Red looks very hot on polo congrats for the new car and marriage . Btw what is the mileage you are getting in city + highway combined ?
Thanks Raja for your wishes

Let me clarify that highways in Delhi are no more highways especially during peak hours. So, I mostly get 13-14 Kmpl including bumper to bumper traffic, traffic jams, red lights, and only a small part of highway.

So in 20% highway and 80% city like conditions, I am getting 13-14 Kmpl. I guess its pretty good.
