1. Buying experience
I had made an enquiry for this car through Carwale and got callback in same day. I decided to make purchase from KUN CAPITAL VOLKSWAGEN SOUTH MADRAS, OMR, Chennai. After doing PDI and completing all procedures, took delivery on 11-5-24. Initially planned for matte grey edition but later changed mind and took curcuma yellow.
2. Riding experience
Coming from Verna 1.6d, I found this to be a super smooth with no engine noise in cabin. Once you take it past 3000 rpm then comes the sweet note which is nicer.
3. Looks & performance
Absolutely loving it, no lag in power, I mostly prefer driving in sports mode and power delivery is awesome. Only downside is mileage. I get about 13-14 km/l in highways, 9-10 km/l in city b2b traffic, while driven sedately it returns 17-18 km/l. But, buying this car and seeking better mileage is rubbish🫣
4. Service
I have opted for 4 years SVP and till now have covered 4500km, went for 1000km free checkup and everything was fine.
Pros - Audio system, drive modes, handling
Cons - some rattling noise heard once in a while at bad roads, wiper motor sound can be heard inside, wireless charger most often doesn’t work,
