LOL, so many people here describing the cars either from hearsay or imagination.

I have a 308T and my gf drives the new Polo.

1. FACT : 308T is a C-seg hatchback and has much bigger interior legroom compared to Polo. And yes even when the front seats are all the way back, it hardly touches my 5ft 10 inch frien's knees. Polo is smaller comparatively to the 208 or Fiesta which are all B-seg cars.

2. FACT : 308T has a more powerful engine and better torque compared to Polo and on a straight line the Polo will eat 308T's exhaust.

3. FACT : Polo is more economically efficient. Urban driving FC around 11 - 12 L / 100km whilt 308 T is around 10L/km. However both cars are similar on highway which is around 15-16L / km.

4. OPINION : 308T interior looks much better than Polo which technically is a Myvi car in other countries.

VW probably just souped it up abit here because they dont want to downgrade the specs (come on R17 tires ??? where other countries are only at R15) either because government intervention or they just wanna make more money.

Don't get me wrong, I like VW just that in our automotive tax heavy country, it is not value for money when this same car can be had for only USD 15k (or less), and wants to sell as high as the next segment car or even more.

Value-wise go for Peugeot. If you just branded conscious (everything must be Gucci and such), by all means go for the Polo.

Either way you won't regret it (just need to put up with the naysayers from VW or Peugeot depending on which car u get).
