Pathetic services from Vw india

I have purchased Taigun one year ago. Pros: excellent handling and stability, ride quality, good mileage on highways, 5-star rated Cons: poor mileage in the city, poor service, the rear seat is not comfortable for 3, poor lighting, tires are not great PPS Somajiguda Hyderabad has given me an old stock vehicle. I purchased it on June 14 2023 however they have given me April 28 invoice vehicle. After raising many complaints nobody has responded properly. Service center experience was very pathetic they only looked for their job targets they did not even bother about customers. That is the reason many of them scared to purchase Volkswagen

R8 best supercar for super people

Buy Audi r8 is similar any expensive audi.Riding is great , You feel like you have control in hand. I think most beautiful car in world. Servicing and maintenance seen expensive and but you have considered car is also expensive. Pro: Good looks Powerful engine Comfortable seats Good steering control Cons: Expensive in India Servicing and maintenance is expensive in India No great fuel economy
