OVERVIEW
TMR recently had the highly featured (and heavily optioned) Volkswagen Polo 81TSI Comfortline in the garage. We didn't half mind it.
But that car got us to thinking about its ‘salt of the earth’ range-mate, the lower-specced 66TSI Trendline.
We got to wondering what kind of penalties buyers of the lower specification model might have to endure - besides lacking the obvious luxury and safety items that come with, or can be optioned, on the Comfortline.
And we have good things to report. There's a few little changes here and there that alter the package, and it may look a little more bland, but it rarely feels that way.
After putting it through TMR's legendary deep-cycle analysis, we’re pleased to announce the Polo 66TSI Trendline loses little lustre to its more expensive siblings. Read on to see why.
