Not Value for money

 

Exterior The look of the car is extremly good. This looks a very smart car and the press lines give it a magnificient look.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The dual tone interiors are quiet pleasent. The steering wheel design too looks good. The space utilization though is not proper.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The pickup for a 1.6L engine is rather low. The car does not kicks off on pushing the pedal. The pick up comes only after a few seconds. Fuel economy is poor, ranging from 8 kms in city to 15 kms on highways.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good, the suspensions are a little hard. The steering handling is extremly good. The steering is very sensitive and very light.

 

Final Words The dealer though projects a waiting time of 3 months, but you will realise upon booking that you can get the delivery in 10 days also. I suppose they want to keep up the hype that they are over booked.

I bought my car in November and have driven the car for almost 5000 kms. Since day one there has been one or the other problem in the car. Starting from Power windows getting stuck, either driver side or pillion side, to rattling sound from the rear tray and doors. I have been visiting the service workshop almost once in 15 days. This is pathetic considering the brand VW. I never expected the car doors to start ratelling after 1000 kms. The service staff say that they have observed this problem in other cars too and do not have a solution yet. Every time I go to them, they tighten some screws which only reduces the sound for a few days and the rattling keeps coming back. The rear tray rattling has no solution except padding it with foam which slips every now and then to bring back the irritating sound in the cabin. The power windows still get stuck some times but the guys have no permanent solution. I do not know what will happen after 15-20000 kms of running if the new car has so many problems.

Surely, the quality of car is not value for money.

 

Areas of improvement Doors do not get locked from inside and any one can mistakenly open the doors during running causing serious harm. Even a low end car has this option of door lock, then why not a VW Sedan. Over all quality of fittings needs to be improved.
