The Polo without ABS and Airbags is anyday safer than a fully loaded Brio.

I do have the same opinion regarding Polo.
When you are opting for Brio, you must have ABS and Airbags because its a small car.
But Polo is another league when it comes to built quality and safety.I suggest you to TD the Polo(if you have'nt done it yet) you will know the difference in the cabin. Even the feature less trendline variant looks classy and top notch. We had an experience with VW Polo which we drove for around 2 hours. Among the hatches I have driven and travelled VW polo is simply awesome. Regarding the turbo lag in the TDI engine it would troublle you only when you are in B2B traffic. In highways its a good performer.
After Sales Service, even if you go for Swift diesel you will have to pay around the same and take it to the dealership twice a year. VW Polo would be a good choice for long term use.
