Amazing Drive / Total Cost of Ownership is high / Poor Service Quality

Drive quality is really good, The engine and gearbox and driveabilty. All are awesome. It is drivers car. The car is rock solid around the bends at 180kmph. I love my car only for its drivability.

Small issues that increases the TOTAL COST of ownership. everyyear apart from the 15-18k on the servicing there would be an additional average spend of 20k on the vehicle. Sometimes it is the break pads. Sometime it is some electrical issue. The battery always geos down every winter if you dont use the car for 3-4 days (that annual vacation that we take around christmas/newyear).

Major maintanence issues:

1) Roof cloth came down in the 5th year of usage and car is around 55,000 km running = INR 40,000

2) The paint peeled off in the second year =  12,000

3) The break pads and front shock absorbers = 20,000

4) Tyers wornoff in 4yr... = 40,000

5) Some part to deal with breaking =  15,000

So folks to conclude...

Buy this car only after you factor in a big bite in your wallet for maintenance...

Please also factor in the paitience you need to when you deal with VW customer care number 18002090909 / 18001020909 

Happy driving...
