Volkswagen Ameo User Reviews

It's surprising that this car is not seen much on roads of Mumbai and Pune but I must admit that it is hidden gem at the price on which it is offered. I bought Ameo highline plus dsg Connect edition and I am completely satisfied with this purchase. I went to VW showroom for Vento but came across this new connect edition Ameo dsg. It had a good looking Lapiz blue color with black interiors & black leatheratte seat covers. Booked a test drive and was very much impressed with engines punchy performance, overall driving Dynamics and DSG gearbox. Booked this car on the very second day. Agree that there are few cons line rear seat space, initial turbolag, after sales/service & stiff suspension for city roads but you need to evaluate the car as per your needs. How did I addressed cons and came to conclusions: Rear Seat space : If any of your family member sits in rear is above 6 feet, then he/she might be uncomfortable but you can always make them sit in front which is very spacious and how often do you have such situations to travel together ? And how long you travel ? and how many family members are so tall ?If all the answers are against than you have to look after other option. Initial turbolag: In city bumper to bumper traffic conditions, practically I dont expect instant pickup and whenever we want good speed we can always get this rocket launched on highways. By the way you can always adapt to DSG style and have work arounds to overcome that lag like by double pressing the accelerator. The point is you have to adapt to the gearbox and gearbox has to adapt your driving style. Stiff suspension: Take city bad roads slowly and you would start liking the beauty of stiff suspension on highways. I travel once in everyweek from Mumbai to Pune and vice versa and this beauty just impresses me. After Sales/Service: Sales experience was good. I purchased it from Vidyut Motors in Pune and Akshay was sales person. He was a great help during my journey for delivery of car and also helping me after that. Servicing I have not come acrossed so can't comment but positive about it at least in Pune city and experience from sales. You need to accept that every car has pros and cons but we need to make our mind as what is required for us. I wanted to purchase Skoda Rapid/ VW Vento but this car saved me around 4-5 lakhs on top model but with almost same driving pleaseure. Pros like good driving Dynamics, punchy diesal engine ,milege, performance, black interiors with DSG gearbox are just worthy at this pricing point. Plus Build quality is also a factor to consider buying this car. I am not talking from exterior build quality because any car with best build quality will also suffer a great impact during accident ( be it VW or any other brand). I am talking more about build quality from inside that premium feel that's it. If you are not too much concerned about interior build quality( fit and finish) and that punchy performance with DSG gearbox, I would suggest to look after other great options such as Dzire, aspire, ciaz ( as it is slightly costler that AMEO top model) and many others. But if you want that punchy performance and premium feel under 11l budget, go for AMEO highline plus Connect TDI . PS: Take extended 2 years warranty for peace of mind. Thanks

i brought this ameo car in ramani Volkswagen showroom at first i called them to the test drive only on seeing their explanation and offer which the offer to us made me to book the car on the day itself in comfort of my home and on the day of delivery after all checking we took delivery and my riding experience is awesome even i was new to the driving i learned driving in this car over all details of looks of the car is nice in terms of front look is dynamic and back look is some what lagging even though it is nice because it is a aerodynamic design,just few months ago i have completed my free check up of the car and for that they have billed 2500 something for some overheads service feedback inquiry is awesome and from my point of view ameo is a perfect compact sedan when comparing with rivals such as new swift desire ,Hyundai x cent ,Honda amaze etc .

Sales didn't provide all details about features and accessories. For i am trying to give right info: 1. Engine : great better than compititor and even better than above segment cars. One of best engine available in marker. 2. Body quality is also best. 3. Safety is best that really works in real world, not like other shows in paper. Other company tires to show saftey features on papers those not work in reality. 4. Performance: the best no other words just take test drive to understand no other way to tell. Now pro and cons: Pro:1. Great engine 2. Best performance 3. Audi parts used even in light connectors just check before purchase to give self pleasure about purchase. 4.no compromise in quality 5. Heat resistance glass, great plastic 6. Real world safety feature s means realistic Cons: 1. Poor service team atleast in urban and below area. 2. Bad sales team everywhere. 3. No basic asseroires available like central lock remote for trendline and back seat power window etc 4. Rear seat arm rest. Comments: Avoid purchasing trendline models after that u will feel fool as u won't get option to install central locking remote, rear seat power Windows, rear ac vents etc Sales team makes u to go for trendline with promise that above feature are coming as assesories with in 2-3 months by company. Later refused Vw please address above either stop trendline model like un polo , ameo and vento else provide assesories like central lock remote installation, rear seat power window etc. Pleases support customer because ur cars are purchased by only customer willing not by efforts of ur dealers , kindly support customer else after some time u need to go out from indian market and ur dealer become dealer of other brand and ur customer cries.

One of the best car in the segment. Most powerful engine 110 bhp. No Turbo lag at all. Interior quality is class apart. Fit and finishing is perfect. The only issue is less leg space for the rear passenger but if your family members are less than 5'8 that's also not an issue for sure. Overall this German beast is highly recommended.

Quite awesome. A family with 4 members is so comfortable to travel miles together. Gives good breeze, assist driver, boot space is ample. It's a lovely experience for me at the age of 60+.

Worst car I have never seen ever before and service in Bhubaneswar so poor I can't explain in word.i am facing so many difficulties which the service department not ready and willing to resolve

1. Buying experience not good. Car was having paint defect. In book sales person mentioning car is checked from all side than how it was having paint defect 2. Riding experience awesome. 3. Luxurious look performance is great just pickup is low due to 3 cylinders 4. Servicing and maintenance too high compared to other companies following same standards 5. Pros - looks and performance too good. Cons- back seat space and pickup is low.

I purchased my Ameo Highline diesel manual in Dec 2016. Driven around 63000 kms. 25 km/l can be easily achieved by maintaining a consistent speed of 100 kms. Ride quality is good. Looks like a small car however when you drive the explosive 1498 cc diesel 110 ps 250 nm torque( same as Vento diesel engine) , you forget that you are driving a small car. The speed gets masked well. stability on the highway is amazing it's like leech. Great build quality, no rattles until now, Rear looks disintegrated, however, it's not an issue for me, Can live with it. Boot space is good 330 lts , practical . 4 adults 1 child can sit comfortably. 3 adults in the back is a tight fit. Rear seat space is comfortable if person height is below 6 ft. Service interval is 15000 kms or one year whichever comes first. General oil service cost would come 11 thousand plus change. Il makes sure that any extra jobs like ac disinfection, interior polish etc is not done. additional wear and tear parts like brake pad change ,disc change etc will cost extra. brake pad pair change will cost 3 thousand. Brake pads plus discs change will cost around 7 thousand. I got an extended warranty for three years. default warranty given by the company is for 2 years. Good for a family of four. No major part failure or issue faced in these three years. More of fill it shut it forget it experience. No major cons So far.

Service is extremely poor. Staff is untrained . Warranty is only for engine and window winders{ really check before buying}. Had three clutch plate replacements in 40000 kms. No spares sold by company, you have to accept there shoot ,overpriced,service. Do not buy if you love your money and peace of mind.
