I bought the Vento Highline Petrol car 5 months back, My experience post sales is horrible. They gave me a highline car with missing accessories. They took about a month to provide me the accessories and I had to call them and shout at least for 5 times. Recently car tyre broke just on the kind of Hyderabad roads travelling at a speed of just 60 KMPH.

To my agony the AC grills got damaged so easily. I have been driving the cars from over 7 years and I have not seen such silly interiors. When I went to the workshop the moment I asked for replacing the AC grills under warranty, they took more than 15 days and they have not got back to me. I have met them twice and called them around 5 times and those shameless staff never responds. I am fed up to a level that I would want give black and blue to the Deputy Manager of Orion workshop in Hyderabad when I am visiting next time.

He is the worst customer support manager.

Exterior lookBad interiors and low quality interiors and bad ground space

 

Exterior The best In class and Value for money.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Awesome Interiors, Good space and superb comfort.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best Performance, good fuel economy.

 

Ride Quality & Handling U can feel the ride quality and handling, no car can match this, not even city.

 

Final Words I got Black Highline Petrol In the first batch Itself.Dealers and showroom response are the best.I have driven Aveo, City, Verna, SX4, Dzire, Irrespective of the price Vento Is the best in  class and true value for money. The only missing things In highline are Steering controls, USB Port and side Indicator on the mirror. Over all a great car In this segment. You can feel the ride on the highways.Good braking and car stops In a 5sec at any speed. Has very good boot space. Got a very good mileage on highway. Over all best In class and best In this segment.VW maintains It s quality and design upto the mark always. I had booked this car without even taking a test drive and Just when the news came on the Internet.

 

Areas of improvement Sterring controls, USB Ports, Side Indicators on the mirror.

 

Good Style,Good Power,Good Fuel Economy,Great Interiors and ExteriorsSteering controls,Side Indicator on the mirror,USB Port.

Bought a vento petrol about 10 months back and since then already had 3 visits to service station and i have hardly covered 7.5K kms. In the very first week after delivery, there were problems with some loose contact on the braking system and i had to take it to service station. Had to spend a day and they fixed the issue.

A few months down the line, there was rattling sound in the cabin. I took it to the service station and spent a day and after multiple attempts they fixed the issue. There was a free rain check up call from VW for A/C cleaning. After that i could see too many issues

When on a long run, the A/C would turn off. The blower would keep running, but there would be no cooling effect. Also, when you switch off the engine and remove the key, the audio system stayed ON. Just two days back, i started getting burning smell from the A/C so i took it to service station today. They did not find the problem with A/C but saw some software errors on their car health checkup machine which they cleaned up.

Not sure if VW is serious on quality in India. Internationally they are renowned for quality - this does not seem to be in line with their image though.

Looks, Interior, Drive feelPick up in petrol is poor, requires too many trips to service station

Exterior Height ought to have been better. Rather short.  i chose Candy White. This has been liked by others too. However,  Vento ought to have been offered in Glacier Blue as in the case of Polo.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Leg room in the rear is excellent. Interior colour choice is very pleasing. Cabin light is good. AC vent in the rear cabin is a very good convenience.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is quite powerful. I drive mostly inside city. Good response in case of emergency. Inside the cabin, the engine is almost noiseless, though outside, the engine sounds rather loud.

Ride Quality & Handling Handles very well on the road, though I have not yet tested at high speeds.

Final Words I did the right thing by rejecting Polo and changing my booking to Vento. The car's quality is a pleasant surprise, though the German fetish for good engineering is well known!   Definitely a different experience when compared to driving other Japanese and Korean cars.

Powerful engine, with good safety features, amble leg room for rear seats, tasteful interior coloursSince one is ready to spend more for this mode, one should also spend more for fuel!

I am awaiting delivery . expecting in April.

Exterior

 Very good , The LOGO has a damn good Impact , Very neat and simple design .

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Again very neat and simple , not jazy , ideal executive look . Its a class Volkswagen maintains.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Superb , cant explain the thrill of the power , very smooth gear box . Fuel economy yet to verify , trust will same as honda city .

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good , tried driving in bad roads . superb ground clearance , better than honda city . very smooth at high speed . Silent .

Final Words

 Value for money car . at 9.5 lacs the HIGLINE model will give  run to Honda City .

Areas of improvement  

 Some controls on Steering , The dealers are very rigid , no free accesories , nothing at all ,,,,?

 AC is OK . need to test it in high summer.

The AC vent at rear seat , Powe rof the Engine , driving comfort , Remote , Anti theft system ,You actually have no option for any upgradation or adding on any remote in tred line model ?

 

Exterior Good looking. We would not find the exterir look like this in other seden vehile.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Everything is very good except the plastics used which looks cheep.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Amazing, Superb, excellent  performance of the engine, noiseles drive. During the test drive I have not heared any noise inside the car. I heve done test driven Verna but I find lot of noise even after switching off the AC. Here is the German design. You can not compare Vento with any other cars like Verna, Ford fiesta, Aveo, Fiat lienea. Ofcourse all TATA cars are meant for taxi only. Honda city can be compared with Vento to some extent. Engine performance and breaking system shows how Germans are much ahed of others in the design.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Exelent ride quality and breaking is excellent.

 

Final Words My rating is  four star. VW Vento is better than Honda city and we can not compre with other brands with vento.

 

Areas of improvement VW has not launched Shadow Blue and Biege colour. This is very much upset. I booked in December 2010 but the car is not delivered yet. I will wait for the Shadow blue colour till its launch. Waiting period is very bad. The company should satisfy the custoers by delivering within 2-3 months of booking.

 

Exelent breaking, noiceless drive, no vibration, Good style, better milage compared to other similarPlastics used inside should have been better quality

 

Exterior Decent sturdy looks. Isnt as appealing / classy as Linea.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors and quality is pretty decent, but again T-Jet's interior seems and feels better. Leg room might seem (visually) to be slightly more in Vento, but I think that because Vento's seats are not deep and has got lesser under-thigh support. Further there is hugh ugly hump for the drive shaft in middle of the back-seat floor in Vento, thus I would say is for 4 ppl only. Lots of pockets and bottle holders are good. The baige plastics around hand-brakes and door trim etc has cheap look and touch feel. Seats are comfortable, and leather seemed good. Radio had certain noise, as if the reception wasnt great, while I was driving on Santacruz SV road, Mumbai.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox There is slight lag between gear-shifts in Vento and I had to press the pedal to gain power after every change. Though ppl might attribute this to personal driving style, I didnt feel this issue with T-Jet.

 

Ride Quality & Handling There were also some noice from the rear wheels while going over few pot-holes. Cabin isnt as quite as Linea / Honda City. Steering is very light, but I liked it.

 

Final Words For 8lacs and 9.4lacs on-road in Mumbai, it seems to be a good package. and you get VW badge.

I would NOT buy the car at the moment, since I am sure there are many niggling issues that needs to be fixed, and VW will come up with Vento 2 or something within 6mths or 1yr.

Also unsure about its maintenance / and spares etc at the moment.

Mileage per liter needs to be checked as well. T-Jet should be giving you better. (check other forums)

Linea T-Jet is better buy (though ~1.5 lacs costlier) - Better turbo engine, good finished product with all niggling issues already fixed. Good tyres, good ride, and tons of features.

 

Areas of improvement Rear seats can be more deeper to get decent under-thigh support.

Middle rear hump is very ugly and eats up space. VW should do something about this.

Power Lag between gear-shifts.

 

Price, utility pockets / bottle holder etc in the inside14" regular spare wheel !, ride quality, gear-shift isnt that smooth

Exterior Its cool and curvey, not like manza robot looks and not like verna looks which will look outdated soon and also not like honda city. Vento has got looks which are classic and sober.. not funky.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) You feel like you are a pilot, I saw etios,manza,accent,verna,sunny,i20 but I didn't feel like when I set inside vento. You have to be inside only then you can feel it.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is good, I am getting 14+ on petrol. Gear box looks not that smooth but still this is different technology.

Engine performance is good, and anyway family people don't drive 100KM/Hr many a times.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is against very good , in city you can drive it very easily and on lower gears you don't even have to press the accelator , it maintains some speed depending upon gears.

Final Words Buy it, it will be with your for next 15+ years. very very solid built. showrrom executive literally stood on the door and showed us the. Strong built qualityl

Areas of improvement I like its positives very much and few things are here and there that you can always get in any car. no car is perfact .. but if you like quality then go for it else you always have maruti and tata etc.

Good Looks,Good driving experience,good space,good interiorsNothing as such only hight adjustment should be there in all models

 

Exterior Unmistakable design/ body lines, nice looking saloon.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are superb with dual tone color. Nice a/c and good stereo,lovely and comfy seats. Driver gets seat and steering adjustments.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Petrol 1.6 liter Engine is Good and bit noisy. 105 HP is less for this saloon atleast 150 HP should have been Given. Fuel economy with A/C ON gives about 13.8 - 14.4 in Highways and in INDIAN city traffic conditions it gives you about 10.4 - 12.2 KMPL. Lovely and smooth 5 speed Manual Gearbox.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is Good but have done better is some areas,whereas Handling is Good under 140 KM above that it feels like out of control. wish they would have given Traction control.

 

Final Words Best Petrol Saloon under 10K.

 

Areas of improvement Increase in HP and Torque, 105 hp is so under powered for this baby, Increase in Height around 20 MM, Increase in wheel size (instead of 14 and 15) to 16 or 17 Inch Alloy with a little wider Tyres. Touch screen/navi system like in VW Jetta (should be given as optional) as no USB or AUX in stock Music system. Or atleast USB/AUX connectivity provided would be Great. Very good Leather seats in all versions of VW VENTO instead of Fabric seats. A Inch lengthier than current available. should have Steering mounted Audio controls for all Vento models.

If all these are Provided by VW dealership then VW will make a Mark in Indian History.

 

average fuel economy, average ride quality,nice dual tone interiors,superb A/Cno side airbags,no usb/aux connectivity,no steering mounted stereo controls
