The overall buying experience is quite normal as the vehicle is readily available and the salesperson is eager to sell the vehicle
it drives really well on highways and due to its engine and gearbox combo it can overtake any other vehicle even from a segment above instantly.
looks are good and I feel it has some mature look
servicing is subjective depending on the dealer. the company has advertised a periodic service of 10,000 kms or 1 year but the actual fact is there should be an inspection for every 7500 kms or 6 months where they would charge engine oil or AC filters etc.,. which I feel is an advertising strategy to present as it has low maintenance and attract prospective buyers who are fearing about the maintenance of a VW.
Pros.
Definitely, its the 1.5 engine which is really a gem on highways and even in city traffic. It has immense power and it pulls very strongly after 1800-2000 rpm. This feels as an engine from an above segment.
The ride and handling is extra ordinary and the car feels very confident at corners. One never feels nervous when doing high speeds or cornering. It gives you the confidence.
Cabin insulation is very good. there is no wind noise, tyre noise. sometimes we feel very silent inside the car and it even fears us due to its sound insulation.
The doors feel very solid and reassuring when they are closed
Despite being basic sound system, the music output is more than par
Cons.
AC. It is very poor considering even a car below its segment. Even the AC controls are very irritating.
Mileage. Being a petrol and turbocharged, the car returns you single-digit mileage in the city and slightly more on highways considering the speeds.
The cabin is not so huge when compared to its rivals considering the top-end trims price.
The features essential are present in the car whereas the competition offers more features which are not yet present.
