The buying experience was hassle-free. I chose the venue because of the diesel engine. Overall I was a little disappointed with my expectations. I previously used Brezza diesel. The 1.5 diesel is good in terms of refinement and efficiency over the 1.3 of brezza but mid-punch is more fun on the brezza. And brezza felt more solid to drive than the venue, the ride quality is not that great, steering lacks feel. Ac is very chilling even in extremely hot summer which makes it stress-free to drive in long summer drives. Driving is easy because of the lag-free engine and smooth gearbox and my car returns good mileage of 18 to 20 kmpl avg with AC on and four on board. On well-paved roads, cars are super smooth to drive but on broken patches, the car jumps a lot. Planning to hold this car for a long period.
