Do or Die

I liked the budget of the car, looks, mileage and servicing and maintenance, also the interior and speed of the car, when I went for bye they were taking care of me and carefully they delivered my car.

Heaven made By Passat

When I went On website To check Car price it was very less. i got that car very easily without any issue of money.It is better to purchase compare to other cars or SUV/MUV like innova . When I Drive it first time it was tooo smooth even it's suspension is too good . It's look is Mind blowing From exterior as well interior . Servicing and maintenance of car is not much High but it is in my budget My suggestion is that purchase this car don't waste your money by purchasing other cars of same price

Wonderful experience

A great driving experience I had with the Jeep Compass. Either off-road or smooth road, you will feel great comfort next to luxury. Smooth drive even on rough stretches. Loaded with a variety of features.

Volkswagen Passat Review: Pros and Cons

By Vikrant Singh01 Aug 2019

Yes, the Volkswagen Passat costs Rs 40 lakhs on the road. And no, it doesn’t command the same snob value as an Audi or a BMW or a Mercedes. Maybe not even as much as a Volvo or a Jaguar.

Living with the Volkswagen Passat

By Omkar Thakur10 Dec 2018

It would be justified to call it a limousine owing to its length and cabin space and we got to live with it for a brief period of time and we have to tell you how was it living with the Passat.
