Yes, Highline comes with automatic rain sensor. Check the manual, it is having all the details.
By automatic rain sensors you mean rai sensing wipers right?
If yes, then 'no' this features is not available in polo and not even in vento as polo man already said. Its available in i20 and punto top models as far as I know.

very nice presentation. This will help others a lot to learn more things about safety!
I guess if you have decreased your speed a bit, then you may have avoided the accident. But still, past is past, good that no one was injured! [:)]

@RightNow
Thanks for warning us of possible scenario while overtaking.

Do you think the built of Polo helped in any way to prevent physical injury?

What was the repair cost?

This was not the first time I was squeezing between such a gap, but this time somehow missed it. As I said, I suspect that the Alto in front of me was gradually slowing down as it was an upward incline.

When you start driving your polo, you would realize that this car is capable of doing such acts flawlessly because of its perfect handling. It never shows a sign of nervousness in such situations and keeps you confident.

The Alto that I crashed into took all the hit on rear right tyre and rear bumper. Alto's tyre were torn fully and rims were completely damaged which took shape of an amoeba! One more surprise, Alto front headlights popped out as a result of hit!!

My left fender got damaged and got some dents on left side doors too. The bill of repair for me came to Rs. 18000 (9k for fender and 9 for other repairs) out of which I had to pay Rs. 2.2k.

was any case filed for the accident ? what items did they fix for 9k?[surprise]
off topic :
ghaziabad is it in up?
9k was for 2-3 dents on left side doors and few scratches. They did a very good job, and in the process they removed an old major scratch too.

Yes, Ghaziabad is in Uttar Pradesh, near Noida and Delhi's border is like 15kms away from Ghaziabad.
My office is in Delhi by the way.

Really a nice presentation Rightnow. Can actually make out what must have happened. But its really funny to know that the front headlight popped out of the Alto even if the impact was on the rear side. I know its a car built at a particular price bracket but in no means such a stuff should happen or maybe the headlight must have been loose in itself even before the incident and just popped out more because of the impact.

I also think that the front headlights connections were loose, otherwise they would not have popped out like that.

One year and 19k kilometers

Guys..
This one goes for my beloved polo for completing one year- HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

I still remember a year back, almost at this hour I took the keys and couldn't stop the ear to ear smile on my face, I still remember the smell of the new car, still can't forget how cool I felt, can't forget how she turned heads down the road.

366 days and approx 18800 kms on ODO and my polo doesn't fail to excite me every time I hit the road. Happy Birthday again!!
