5 satisfying years with a VW Polo 1.2 MPI It all started when I finally got my driving license in the December of 2015. We had a 5 speed Maruti then, which was Gujarat registered. It was a perfect cash cow for Maharashtra police, and a youngster driving it, made me the perfect candidate for harassment. A new registration was as much as the car itself, so the decision was made to purchase a new car when I return to Pune for my summer vacations. I was pursuing my engineering then and was in third year. Fast forward to May of 2016, the search was on, the budget was tight. The first two weeks of May was spent reading reviews and ownership reports of all the hatchbacks in the 5-7 lakh OTR, endless hours on YouTube looking for every detailed review. Being an automotive enthusiast, the criteria's for selection were very simple.
