Its one class above, its driving, handling and pickup is really good, only problem is expensive to maintain. Its build quality is really nice as they say "Only Volkswagen can build a Volkswagen " it's true. I am happy with car, purchase in 2014, driven 66000kms, but no problem.
It is comfortable and make fun to drive.
I got mileage of 22-24kmpl at 110-120 km/hrs speed. But beyond that it is also respective mileage 17kmpl, its good.
