Vidyashankar Bangalore owning since 2010

Exterior : Very Good looks very strong. Doors are bit too heavy & some times opening becomes difficult at angles. Very safe & pleasing exteriour.Like any sedan if the car is fully loaded need to be careful while crossing road humps.(168mm maynot be enough).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) : Very spacious,Just comfortable,gives a very good sedan looks,though it lacks some cosmetics, it is very plain.Rear A/C vent was first introduced in vento which is very good.A lock for dash is welcome.Now Audio controls are on s wheel,but was not there in first few batches in 2010.

Engine Performance : Fuel Economy and Gearbox Has been very good, except that initial noise level is high.Once driven some time becomes smooth.Highway driving is fantastic though one should not go beyond130Kms, as steering control becomes unstable.

Ride Quality & Handling : fantastic as mentioned above.

Final Words : I like the car verymuch, its drivability & power/mileage on diesel. A car worth owning from Volkswagon's stable.(Service aspects taken care) Driven 40,000Kms so far. Sales team did not bother to inform about extended warranty to  many customers like me who bought the car when it was launched.

Areas of improvement  Priliminary Engine noise/Service at workshop,more workshops.All those facilities which were not there in 2010 are available now & buyers should be lucky to have all these facilities. The mechanism of water clogging inside doors(during rain,cleaning) can improve as well as A/C water gushing inside some time in front seat.

Good driving comfort,good economy(13-14Kms/ltre inside city)Spares are costly.
