Best buy

Best car of this segment. Lovely look from out side as well as nice interiors. Value for money car. I drove my Grand Vitara Sigma for 100 km on highway with 27.1 Km/l. I was completely surprised to see the performance. My car's first service has been done with 'zero' expanse. Loved the service of Maruti Suzuki. One bad thing i faced that in Sigma variant the back camera fitting was not proper. Over-all best buy.

Taigun is better than my seltos.

At first, I thought this car was crap after watching all the reviews, I have a Kia Seltos GT line, So I thought let me just go and see the car in the showroom and what a surprise. Honestly I liked every aspect of this car, even better than my Kia Seltos Including looks, interior quality, comfort and driving! I Instantly bought VW Taigun GT plus and here It is sitting in my garage like a beast! My little advice : Buy Taigun GT plus over Seltos GT as it is better.
