Volkswagen Tiguan Elegance review

Best looking,best comfortable,best mileage,solid body, low maintenance expenses and a best car for family in proper budget .For a status symbol for family members Volkswagen is best.

Too expensive to be GOOD for a hatchback

The price for Beetle should have bee kept between 10-15 lacs. Many people would have opted this car in the 10lac range however 20 Lacs, no ways....May be you need to be FILTHY RICH to buy this cutie pie. Car is Great, Not for the price... One can buy a 7 seater SUV or Top of the Line Sedan at this price....  Cute looking car meant only for people who can splurge their BLACK $$$Too expensive... might as welll buy a SWIFT & ask DC to modify it.

The Beetle as it is known today was a demand made by Hitler to Ferdinand Porsche to build a ‘people’s car’ – one that can transport two adults and two children.
