फ़ॉक्सवैगन वेन्‍टो [2012-2014] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exterior Although the front is relatively simplistic compared to fluidic verna or honda city or rapid the side looks and the cuts espescsially the headlights are really stylish and detailed, looks posh.

The behind is better looking than verna or rapid or city. The side view is also killing as good as verna or city. The lower overall height gives it stylish look something like european sedans.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The dual tone interior givesh a stylish look and the interiror quality looks are far superior to verna fluidic or skoda rapid, dashboard is scratch proof.

The overall interior is designed such that to have very spacy boot space espescially on the back seats, like it better than verna for sure. The biege colour gives an elegant look, does not have sporty cuts like ford fiesta but does have executive style.

Driving comfort is amazing, just slant the armrest, it perfectly alligns with gear, the foot rest space is good and tilt and telescopic feature gives you ample space for customization, even seats are height adjustable.

Features is amazingly loaded, I went for the top end model(highline), speakers are fantastic 330 DIN, supports everything usb, sd card, bluetooth, aux, cd/dvd. Feathure tooth buttons almost like touch scrreen. For me the coolest feature is to receive calls from stearing on the car stereo, very good to have calls from car, totally hassle free. The price you pay for such features is amazingly better than compared to something like honda city, if you want comparable features honda city model there is around 1 to 1.2 L difference , still city does not give stearing phone and telescopic stearing. The 3 door locking system, is very good espesically if you bring child in the car the doors is locked for safety. The climatronic automatic AC is truly amazing, does job really fast with minimal manual intervention and intelligent to adjust. rear parking sensors (no camera, just sound) is a bit irritating but nonethelss useful feature.

The display system is best, it provides options to scroll and select what you want to view like, kms with fuel left, temperature, avg mielage. I liked the feature of showing dynamic and avg mileage, it helps yu tune your driving style to get the best mielage.

It does not have seatbelt warning which is a negative but it has hand break warning. The latest model which I got does not have in built gps system but I have an Iphone :-) which has it. The dashboard storage could have a/c vents for storing food items :(. Another important feature is rear vents. VErna fludic does not have it, after a few years of drive we come to know the importance of such feature.

All seats have airbags (6). The front airbag is designed perfectly. Normally when front (dashboard) airbag opens you pay 80K becaue the entire dashboard needs replacement (rapid, verna). In Vento You pay only 6K due to its design. Ergo lever is also cool feature, you can adjust the front seat even when sitting behind. The floor and door mats are biege colour giving executive looks. The biege colour leather seats match perfectly with interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine(petrol) is amazingly smooth, I tried to catch noics with windows closed and no music but its very minimal. May be only when we are accelerating. If you are driving at steady speed it feels as if you are sailing or cruising, Gears are little stiff in new cars esepesically 1st and second but is still very comfy. revrerse gear takes time to adjust. Clutch and break are equally smooth.

I get 13-14 in city with A/C amazing for sedan, on highway was able to reach 17. Fuel economy is reasonable but city and verna might have better fuel economy.

Shock absorbers are effecient.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is pleasing, turning radius is very small and pickup is fabtastic. Engine is good 1.6 in it range, At high speed it remains really stable, I was driving at 120 and it felt no difference as I drove at around 90. Stearing is very smooth.

Final Words Amazing value for money. VW is giving one of the best deals in its class, I got a 3 year insurance free (if I opted for VW finance scheme), With this I got the highline petrol in 9.71 at least 50k lesser than highest model of verna or city.

Totally satisfied with car's performance so far. Servicing is maintenance seems to be at higher frequency as compared to other cars like verna and city although no free servicing, One servicing will cost 6-7k (per year)

I will toally recommend this car (amazingly feature rich) and shows pride when driving

Areas of improvement A few features like child lock, windows lock could be added. GPS system could be added. The space behind rear seats are slanting, difficult to keep stuff there, a more horizontol could be better.

Amazing comfort, loads of features, fuel economy, 3 years insurance freeChild lock very difficult to operate, no seat belt signal, window/door lock on all seats lacking
