Welcome to Episode 1 of Season 2 of the Thrill of Driving podcast! In this reboot, we’re doing things differently — giving news a pass and instead talking about things that the Indian car enthusiast wants to talk about! To get this series of the ground, we’re going to start by telling you everything you need to know about the Volkswagen Polo in India. In this free flowing conversation, Sirish Chandran and Aatish Mishra go back to even before the Polo was launched in India to when the media drives first happened abroad. They then trace the launch of the Polo in India, the various updates and engines it has had over the years, the launch of the GT variants, and everything else right up to the BS6 era when it got its latest update with the 1.0 TSI engine. They also talk about the possibility of the new MQB-based Polo coming to India! As an Indian automotive enthusiast, this is not an episode you want to miss!
