50% satisfaction and 50% disappointment

 

I have bought Vento highline petrol from a Bangalore dealer. I got the car from the first batch itself. I bought this Car with lots of passion and love for Volkswagen Cars. The car looks Great and gives a very costly Car look.

It is a very specious car. The front seats should have been wider and more comfortable. The plastics finishing is not good and the color is not matching with the Music system panel. The Music system is of low end model. There is no USB connectivity and music quality is not good. The AC system is good but, bit noisy.

We had been to Mysore, Ooty and back in this Car. I managed to drive at 130Km/hr. Great pick-up and has good control. It Claimed the Mudumali forest hill without any strain.

I could feel the Transmission / Gear Box sound while driving. The some rotation sound from the Gear Box / Transmission could be felt while shifting the Gear from 1st to second and from 2nd to third. After third, there is no problem and the drive is smooth. The engine is not smooth as Honda City. The driving comfort is also less than Honda City. With AC on, some sound is coming from the Gear Box, at low speed. Rattling sound was also coming from the front left side door.

I took the Car to the dealer for checking Gear Box problem and window rattling problem. The dealer does not have skilled engineers. However, it seems Volkswagen Engineers assist the dealer engineers for major problems. But, they did not rectify my Car Gear Box problem and tried to convince me that, this is minor problem. However, they rectified the door rattling sound. I do not except the Volkswagen Cars to sound like this. I had a Maruti Alto Car for six years and I never faced such problem. I always had an impression that Volkswagen Cars are sturdy, robust and designed for long life. But, I am disappointed.

In short, the car outer look is very good. Engine pick-up is fantastic. But, the Interior and Transmission / Gear Box, comfort levels are not up-to the mark. The engine noise could be heard in side the car, during acceleration. Further noise (of engine and Gear box) reduction inside the Car is required. 

 

The car looks Grate and gives a very costly Car look. Super engine pick-up.Poor plastic finishing, low end Music system and Noisy transmission or Gear box.
