    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior One of the best looking car in the world in it's segment. Good to look at from every angle. Curvy head lamp, VW emblem (front and back), wavy side view, beefy from back.

     You can visibly see the difference of color coating of this Car and rest. You wont get small scratches which we generally get on other car.

    Quality is noticeable once you open the door, bonnet and boot cover. No compromise in steel gauge to have a taugh body. Boot space open through emblem makes it more unique.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Riding comfort is awesome. Nice shock observing system (Mcpherson strut and semi independent trailing arms) makes riding comfort as good as sitting in home sofa. Very less vibration and shake on most of bumpy road in Bangalore.

    Power steering is very smooth which can be operated with one figure. There is no cost cutting on quality of plastic used in interiors. Dual tone color combination makes interiors more gorgeous than other car.

    Strong AC keeps you cool even 40dc +

    Featurewise little less than other car in same range. However VW has given features whichever requires. However I still feel, Power window knobs for all windows should be given in driver side

    There are enough space for each row for up to 6 feet tall person. However if more and bulky may struggle to fit comfortable. However considering generic Indian physic, there is enough room for all 5 traveler in the car.

    Boot space is really good and enough to fit luggage for 3/5 day trip.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox People say 3 cylinders is out dated. However if you are use to your care you wont feel any difference. Very less turbo lag (1500-2000 RPM) compare to other car. You can by pass all traffic in highway once you reach optimum RPM

    Gear system is very smooth and can feel difference in shifting gear compare to other car. However reverse gears at time confuse you if you are not use to it.

    Car gives excellent fuel economy. On a average Im getting 15KM/ltr + and 23KM/ltr on highway. But this depends on how you drive. If you follow gear and RPM ration suggested in odometer, you will get optimum economy.

    Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality and smooth handling gives this car an edge. on 120Km/hr + you will have good control and grip on the road.

    Final Words Excellent Car, great quality in each area (body, plastic quality), Spacious boot space, good pick up in right RPM and gear ratio, good mileage.

    German engineering visible in every aspect of car, starting from engine, Pick up, riding quality

    Areas of improvement VW can think of giving some more fringe benefits. However I feel if VW needs to compromise on quality to provide fringe benefits on same price range then better to refrain from it.
