Awesome Car. Happy to own it !!

Exterior

 The car is very good looking from the outside. I bought a 1.2 Highline (P) reflex silver fully loaded. Looks amazing with the fog lights on in the night.Rear parking sensors really helps in parking through tight corners. Dark headlamps add to the overall beauty.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 VW has recently upgreaded the car with loads of features. Upgraded music system with Bluetooth connectivity with SUB and AUX input, lovely 2 tone dashboard with good plastic quality.Very sober digital display, very powerful AC, Steering mounted audio control. Good boot space. Comfortable car for 4 people. Amazing suspension which gives a very comfortable ride.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

This being a 3 cylinder engine its a bit noisy. This is mainly noticeable with the AC on. Without the AC, the engine is quite silent. Well the engine can't be compared with that of a four cylinder engine ( swift, i20, liva, punto, sail) which gives better pickup and less gear changes with smoother revving in lower gears Decent pickup in 1st & 2nd gear and very smooth gearbox. Easy gearshifts in Bumper to bumper traffic. I've driven 4500 km so far with both city and highway. The car returnes an amazing average of 17 kmpl with AC on highway and gives me around 13 kmpl in city with AC.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good suspension with amazing steering control which makes it easy to maneuver throught tight corners in city drive and sharp corners on highways.

Final Words

 Got my car in June 2013 from B U Bhandari. Its the best VW dealer in Pune. The sales person were very good and helped me with the purchase right from my enquiry by offering a test drive of the desired varient till driving out off their showroom. They also called me after my purchase to check how was the driving experience and if any issues or concerns with the car. I havemy car checkup at 7500 kms. B U Bhandari is a reputed car dealer in pune as they also have the sole Mercedes dealership in Pune. They surely know how to deal with their customers with complete customer satisfaction. Haveheard good reviews about their servicing and hope to experience the same.

Areas of improvement  

 VW should consider launching a 1.2 L 4 cylinder engine which can take on the swift, i20's etc. Surely it's selling like hot cake after Swift and is slowly capturing the market. People are getting to feel the actual German engineering. Service is good in metros but I guess they need to capture tier 2 cities and spread their service network. German cars are always known to have higher ownership cost as compared to Japanese or Korean cars but it dosent compromise on safety and quality.
