Volkswagen ownership review

 

First off I wanna say I bought this car in jan 2010 for 24 lakhs on road price of 1.9 comfortline auto with paddles shifts. 2 months later they iintroduced the new 2.0 litre engine with more power and price dropped to 18 n half lakhs on road. before buying the dealer told that thr wont be any changes to jetta till 2011 mid. the dealership experience was bad as the dealer did not know much n they do not treat customers properly.

 

Exterior Exterior build quality is good. tail lamps look cool. but for such a high price no xenons or projectors and no sunroof.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior colour is black and beige. looks nice. good music system but no aux. the bad thing is on highways the rear ac is not effective. it doesnt feel like the air is coming even when on full. even tho the ac was on high the rear passengers kept complaining that they were feeling hot. the rear legroom is good but sitting at the back on highways is not good as the seats are low n the rear passenger will always feel like puking. also thr r issues with power windows. it doesnt go up sumtiimes. maybe loose connection in button.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance is good but not great, paddle shifts r delight to use. u can shift between auto and manual. but fuel economy is very bad. i got 12.5 on highway. my friend who owns a c class diesel n tailed me in the journey got a mileage of 14. both our driving style is same. so mileage is bad.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is the main aspect of this car, feel stable even in curves. this is the strength of the car.

 

Final Words Its a good car. but for the price its not worth it. for paying such a premium also u dont get xenons or sunroofs. thr are much better cars. even the laura which shares the same engine is a better buy. skoda service may be bad but volkswagen is much worse. i regret not buying the laura or cruze. i would have spent lesser and gotten more. anyways my car is for sale in carwale. its in very good condition. im buying bmw so im selling. if interested contact me.
