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

The only one best

I drive it's a great experience every one have to test it nice and warm and fuzzy inside the car and I don't know how much I love it when you get a chance to drive you can not stop your driving a good mileage and best in comfort finally get it to kown about it it's interior design very good and I can't say more than it

Hyundai Elantra First Drive Review

By Ameya Dandekar27 Aug 2016

Hyundai has come a long way as a manufacturer. From being considered as a budget brand to being able to sell cars well above Rs 10 lakh in huge numbers is a testament to the quality of products the Korean manufacturer has delivered. The Elantra which was launched in 2012 was a surprise package too.
