An excellent choice for a car

 

Up Side

1. The name and the Badge.

2. The drive and the feel of the car is superior that any other car. tried Linea, Manza, Verna, City and Aveo.

3. Smoother drive. eats up all the potholes,bumps and extremely less jerks.

4. Excellent pickup. better for Diesel. but u already know that as that is an upsell point for the diesel variant.

5. The interiors are excellently designed. and you really get a feeling of sitting in a superior car. the chrome lining in the highline adds the spark.

6. Nice positioning for the center hand rest for driver (found it to be better than Linea). (unless except as stated by someone in a review that if you pull the seat back too much then it is bound to hinder with the movement of your left hand.. but then it can happen for any car with that feature. why blame only this car for it.)

7. The steering wheel adjustment (especially telescopic). and the driver seat adjustments makes a great difference for the driver. especially if the car would be used by at least a couple of people.

Down side

1. Rear seats are a bit upright. Also if you compare the seat length. it does not reach completely below your legs till your knees (or atlease 2 inches till below your knees) and hence may have an issue during long journeys. drove other cars Linea, Manza, Verna, City, Aveo. this issue is less.

2. The AC blower get very noisy and the noise increases even further when one of the AC vents is closed. i.e. if the pinion driver shuts down his AC vent.

3. The rear view is a bit compromised. could have been better. rear seat head rests and the level of the rear glass sharply cut the rear view and the driver will have to depend on the outer rear view mirror.

4. (don't knw if anyone noticed this). due to Euro 4 standards.. the rear windows will only open 60% and not completely. but then i heard that there is a way around for this.. however can be done only after 2 years of the warranty being over.

5. Assuming that test drive vehicles being severely abused... the engine - Petrol and diesel makes a lot of noise. hoping on the brand and the german engineering to bail the buyer out of this. To add.. it also depends on how u drive the car as well. so this only time can tell.

6. For a car that comes out to be at lease 10.5 lakhs at on road in Mumbai. features like USB/bluetooth, remote and steering wheel controls were welcome features. alas. (However. checked with my dealer twice. this feature is not given by the VW. so don't know how one user review has stated that the same has been promised by the dealer. and also the VW website does not state this.)

7. The center hump in the rear seat near the legs (don't know the technical name for it) is slightly more. the person sitting in center may feel a bit uncomfortable over a period of time.

8. Delivery time. delivery time. delivery time. U cannot book a car this good and then wait for 3 months for it.

Other comments: don't know why some people crib regarding the revese gear and the turning indicators and viper settings. this car is based on Euro standards and hence will have this. just drive the car for a few hundred kilometers and u will find that your hands will automatically move with these new settings.

Over all. an excellent buy.

everything about the car is good and the feel is excellent.... also mentioned below are more points.mentioned below
