A comfortable performer

Exterior

Pretty decent looking, would be easily mistaken for a vento. The taillights have an audi like look to it. but it has a good road presence overall.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Very comfortable place to be in only for four people though. Dashboard feels top end with the soft touch material and well laid out. Would do better with a sat nav system and rear view parking camera. The music system is great, comes with aux and sd card, but no usb option and bluetooth streaming

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Has alot of torque to offer, great acceleration and top speed. Can easily race to a ton in the 2nd gear. Would easily compete with high end luxury vehicles for sheer performance. Has a decent fuel economy in city probably about 14kmpl and above 18kmpl on the highway. A slick 6 speed gearbox which is happy to be revved hard and has a lot to offer. Doesn't need to be downshifted too often in slow speeds

 

Ride Quality & Handling

Great ride and handler, you never feel any bumps or potholes. But the ground clearance is low so expect the under-carriage to be scraped quite often. The steering is well weighted at speeds and light in traffic, perfect. Fast corners are never an issue, combined with ABS ESP and traction control 8 airbags, never worry about safety. Braking under high speeds is as easy as it comes, never moves outside the trajectory.

Final Words

It is really comfortable luxury car with good performance and safety features and the VW badge and built like a war tank. But ownership comes at a cost. Inadequate qualified service engineer is a real pain. The manual air con is sure to encounter a problem sooner than latter. Expensive spare parts.

Areas of improvement

Service, exterior looks and comfort features.
