Volkswagen Ameo User Reviews

Safety purpose point of view of the car is excellent. Service cost is the approximately same as per Kms run. I have taken a test drive and feel the sports car features. Body is harder than maruti models.

Good comfort for driver... Inside space is less but, better compared with other similar cars. Service charges are more, spare parts are costlier. Performance is unbeatable...The body is much more strong compared with other similar versions.Look wise also perfect, especially in the silver-coloured body. The audio system is worth mentioning, but lack of GPS is a small demerit

The car is too good in design, performance, mileage. It is good value for your money but only the problem is unavailability spears and bad showroom experiences. The management of showrooms and staff is so fake and only business minded. Workers are not properly trained. They have interest in only hidden charges.

Already have a 7 seater and we are a couple with a 5-year-old. So we're looking to replace the small car with more COMFORTABLE, SUB 4 METER, SAFE car. Concentrated on the Maruti stable and thought wagon R is the best option frankly it is the most practical car for local use in India. But really did not like the feel and drive of the vehicle. Then shifted to swift and even checked the Brezza which wife liked so thought of checking other models in that price too. Now the options are SWIFT HONDA JAZZ HYUNDAI SANTRO etc MAHINDRA KUV (EWWW) TATA ALTROZ Features which are absolutely mandatory Fully Automatic Climate control Cruise control Insulated cabin Disclaimer: A few months ago planned to change my primary car so had been visiting German cars Showrooms so my expectations of dealership experience might be high Went to Honda, miserable dealership girls doing their hair chitchatting, AC not functioning, lift not functioning, uninterested sales. So HONDA Hyundai Navi Mumbai. Told them these are the things that i want in the car, still showed me cars without the options.. HYUNDAI Tata: What's your name? What's your phone number? Sit someone will attend to you shortly. Wow-what an amazing welcome.. already made up mind not gonna buy this.. but since we are here lets let it play out. 10 minutes... there are a bunch of sales guys sitting around doing nothing.. i asked why arent u attending us?? Answer: we cant... they will assign someone... Now me and my wife decided to have some fun . and so we looked at the car and went away... The only decent guy in the dealership is the guy serving Tea. So if you want good tea and server go to the tata dealer in Navi Mumbai .. not for a car. Landed at VW Autobahn Navi Mumbai. They did not ask for a name and phone number, asked us to sit offered tea/coffee and requested us to wait for 5 minutes and sales guy will be with us. Sales guy is with us, introduces himself and asks which car we would like to see. At that point.. almost 50% certain we would buy a VW. Tell them what we need in the car ... given 2 options for our need polo and ameo. Polo black interior too claustrophobic ameo light interior.. Sound insulation. best among all other cars Cruise control yes climate control yes rain-sensing wipers yes Auto-dimming IVRM yes Talks about pricing discounting BS4... all fine.. next day when i went to make payment.. did a close inspection of the car.... rear left quarter panel was dented and repainted. Bonnet too was repainted and shoddy job done too. Left the dealership called BU Bhandari in Pune. Got the pics over phone, for automatic highline plus, made transfer booked and went to see car 2 days later, finalized and picked it about 15 days later.. full payment. Driving Drove it 800 kms in a day before the Corona lockdown to take family to MP. I felt more comfortable than my 7 seater, its as powerful as my mpv and weighs 650 kilos less. Went constantly at 110-120 and 140 at times... got a mileage of 18. My daughter could sleep in the rear sit. The handling on curves is exceptional, the curves in ghat section that i used to do at 50 were done at 80-90 and actually took way less time than my bigger mpv. Yet to get it serviced as have done only 3k. Took extended warranty so its got 7-year warranty and RSA. Importance of sound insulation is not really understood unless you drive long distance. I had the company fitted stereo play at volume 5 while i have replaced my system in mpv with 4 channel jbl amp 12 inch woofer, components and state of the art pioneer head unit and even that had to be played at around 40% volume. The sound insulation in VW is so good that you can play the stereo at only 10-15% volume and does not tire you. IF you floor the accelerator or even press it harder you are pushed back into the seat and its like a plane setting off on the runway. Shifting the gears as you accelerate is flawless ... done perfectly at right time... light-footed 2k rpm a little hard footed 3k rpm and if u go harder at 4.5k rpm. Its not as good when you slow down, sometimes shifting a little too soon. Once you buy a german car its hard to go back to Asian ones. Legroom in the rear is not as good... yes but my kid is only 5 and does not need a lot of space.. also we are about 5 foot 6 so our seats are closer to dash. If you are average Indian height the space is fine.. but if you buy this car as a family car where the family is more than average height or weight then its really not a good option. However, it is really built very well so if safety comes first then you can consider this... or for space buy Vento or rapid ... IF the budget is not a constraint... just stick with German cars.

Back seat space is not much more better . Rest everything is superb. Looks are good perfect city and highway car. My car is mediating center for me. Good mileage power and sound feels gripping.

Exterior Good styling and decent looks. Headlights can be improved with projector lamps. Rear boot cover design and styling can be improved.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Touch screen infotainment inclides a Decent Music system and radio. CD Drive can be enhanced to accommodate DVD. Slightly Less rear row leg space makes it a tad uncomfortable for rear seat passengers. Rear row seats can be improved with rear arm rest.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good- Can be improved. Fuel  economy is not the best in class. Engine power is minimal at 75 bhp. Mileage is not the best in class and can be improved.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is comfortable in normal city driving and is quite deceent on highways  and falls slightly short in power at gradients in city driving.

Final Words Overall - a nice car with decent looks and comforable ride quality. Good value for money and a decent sub 4 meter sedan.

Areas of improvement Touch screen can include GPS Navigation. Phone linking via blue tooth is a good feature. DRL and front parking snsors may be added for impovement. Light for row is a feature missing.

Ride comfort and styleLess leg space in rear row and absence of GPS navigation in Touchscreen

Exteior is very nice , paint quality good, ground clearance is ok,head lights are vety good  good beam.

Rear leg room is very less, cant sit 3 adult passanger comfirtable, rear ac vent is very uncomfirtable for middle passanger for long distance , windshield wiper bonnet gap is there stuck tree leafs.

Engine is bit noisey rattles like tractor but cabin is well insulated you cant feel noise inside. auto gear box is just superb , slight jurk is feeling during 2nd to 3rd shift but its ok.

Ride Quality is superb, suspention is slightly harder you can feel jumps vibrations of concrete road. front suspention sudden release impact noise feel is there sometimes.

Very nice sedan good value for money.

Engine rattling noise to be improve like DDis swift engine. Maintanance cost of spares keep low like maruri, as per previous customer complaints they blame to replace fuel injector because of bad fuel quality if you complaint noise of engine ?  Service centers must be increase. Affter sales is very bad. increase number of dealer ships in city as well as small towns.

Exterior is very good, paint quality is nice, good fuel economy 16 km in city, 19 at highway, handliRear leg space low, front suspension noise while small patch holes

Handling is too good esp when it comes to negotiation in traffic & sharp bends. Very smooth drive , suspension fantastic , Look & interior has got modern look thanks to VW. Pickup esp in 2 nd gear is low but it starts smoothly even in slope . Space , Little bit of crampy esp at back seat , boot space is not that great . Over all it's a value for money car.

Buying experience was good. Within 10 days got delivered the car. Ride and handling is good. Have driven almost 15000 km and done first service already. Service is bit expensive but its only in a year or 15000 kms. I have 1.2 mpi, it will give linear power delivery, if anyone wants to ride like a horse go for diesel. Quality of materials used is fantastic. If safety and quality is your preference you can opt ameo. As using more than a year, it is giving 13-14 in city and 16-17 in highways. It depends the driving style and the terrain. I have got more than 18 at cruise control. Negatives are rear space is not so good,but if your family members are less than 6ft hight it wont be a issue.a rear arm rest could have been added.service centers should be increased.
