Volkswagen Vento [2012-2014] User Reviews

Exterior The car looks very rich form outside. the bulit is solid looks firm. a very good diesel highway car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are well put together. the quality is excellent. Seats are comfertable. Just need more airbags inside the car. the passanger seat should also be height adjustable like the driver seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is punchy . excelent highway performance. brilliant pick up. but a bit noisy engine. Steering feels light so you dont get a feel when driving the car. A bit of lag during pick up but as it crosses 1500 rpm the car blasts off like a rocket.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is excellent. topped 190km/hr on it. the car didnt budge. suspension is good.

Final Words Finally its an amazing german car. but a DSG option would make more better. i am satisfied with the after sales service. no problems till now(40,000kms) expect for the servicing charges.

Areas of improvement Add more features to the car. DSG, traction control, rain sensing wipers. The headlamps are horrible. I replaced the lights inside with a blaster kit. The company should provide Xenon headlamps as an option.

Unmatched qualityNo DSG

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Buying a car for 11 Lakhs which does not have rear power window controls in the front is really ridiculous. For the same price, Hyundai Verna is packed with features including electrically folding mirrors, rear view camera, auto a/c, music system with steering mounted controls, ABS, Airbags, Keyless Entry, four wheel disc brakes, alloy wheels and a much powerful engine. When compared with Fluidic Verna, Vento Trendline costing a little less than the SX version can be rated only a big zero out of hundred. You can hear the door beadings squeeking and creeking when you drive on bumpy roads. When I  complained about this to the dealer, he sprayed a white colored sealant on the beading and the noise was arrested temporarirly, but within two days the noise will again come.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine performance is very inconsistent, it is good some times and bad most of the times. Very cluttery and noisy engine. Fuel economy on my Vento TDI Trendline was very less at 10 kmpl. I reported this problem right from the beginning and the dealership in Coimbatore just told me that they have updated the software and the vehicle will be good from then. But........nothing has improved so far. There is also a wierd clicking noise during morning starts which fades out after two or three minutes. The dealership is still not able to find out the reason for that. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride quality is OK. Handling is very good. 

 

Final Words

I bought the Vento expecting so much from the German car giant. But to my disappointment, the car is not worth the money I paid. The car has visited the service station more than 15 times within the last two years and I didnt get any permanent solution for any of the problems posted here so far. I SHOULD HAVE GONE IN FOR SOME OTHER VEHICLE AND IT WAS A GREAT MISTAKE TO HAVE SELECTED THE VENTO.

Areas of improvement  

Vento engine, they said was specially developed for the India market. They should not have launched the car without a proper R&D done on the engine and they are releasing updates every month to fine tune the performance. 

The rubbers in the doors need to be re-developed or the design needs to be looked into. It is squeaking and creeking very badly. 

They should provide more convenience features like four door power window control on the driver side, electrcially adjustable mirrors and a trip computer in Trendline itself.

 

NothingPoor engine design, poor mileage, poor noise reduction planning, and more to add...

I have purchase NEW VENTO DISEAL HIGHLINE and drive 5000 KM till now.

ABOUT THE CAR

1. The name and the Badge.

2. The drive and the feel of the car is superior that any other car like Verna, Amaze and Honda city.

3. Smoother drive.

4. Excellent pickup. better  mileage in Diesel. and the diseal version is best selling car of VOLKSWAGEN.

5. The interiors are excellently designed. and you really get a feeling of sitting in a superior car. the chrome lining in the highline adds the spark.

6. Nice positioning for the center hand rest for driver.

7. The steering wheel adjustment (especially telescopic). and the driver seat adjustments makes a great difference for the driver.

Exterior Good and built quality is also good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Awesome.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best in class, On highway after running continously 400 Km it gives a mileage of 23.3 KMPL and in DELHI NCR Roads it given an average of 15 KMPL in DISEAL HIGHLINE model. Fully satisfied.

Ride Quality & Handling Best in class, Ride quality is awesome.

Final Words Best in class. Compare with its competetors it is best in all aspects.

Areas of improvement Cruise Control and automatic side mirrors must be given by company in top models.

Power and fuel economy best in classMany features are not there which are mention in vento mannual

Exterior EXTERIOR IS VERY GOOD AND CLEARLY FINISHED. EXPACT BIGGER TYRE IN HIGHLINE. AND NICE NEW SMOKE HEADLAMPS.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) NEW MUSIC SYSTEM WITH SD CARD,USB AND AUX PORT,SOUNDS VERY GOOD. NICE STREERING CONTROL AND LEATHER ON STREEING FEELS GOOD. SITTING IS EXECELENT SPECIALLY IN HIGHLINE WITH LEATHER SETS. DASH BOARD IS NEATLY DESIGN AD STURDY. I WISH THE DASH BOARD IS FINIFHED IN FULLY BLACK INSTED OOF BIEGE.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox ENGINE IS SOME HOW QUITE NOISE IN LOW SPEED BUT PERFORMS VERY WELL AND GIVES ENOUGH TOURQUE. FUEL ECONOMY IS UP TO THE MARK. I GOT 21KMPL WITH A/C. GEARBOX IS ALSO VERY SMOUTH BUT THE REVERSE GEAR IS VERY HARD TO GET BACK IN NAUTRAL.

Ride Quality & Handling HANDLING THIS VEHICLE IS AWASAME SPPECIALLY IN CITY BECAUSE THE DESIGN GIVES U CLEAR IDEA ABOUT THE TRAFFIC BESIDES U. AND RIDE QUALITY ON HIGHWAY WITH OVER 100KM/H IS UNMATCHED.

Final Words IF U WANTS ARISTROCAT AND NEAT DESIGH WITH SUPERB BUILT QUALITY AND VW TITLE ON YR CAR JUST GO FOR IT. THE CAR NEVER DISIPOINTING U. FEELS STURD IN HANDS. MUST BUY CAR FOR THE MIDRANGE CAR BUYERS.

Areas of improvement REVERSE GEAR, WIDER TYRES, REAR A/C VENTS CONTROL, THE LIGHTNING SWITCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

LOOKS, NICE NEW MUSIC SYSTEM, GOOD SITTING, FINE AVERAGEAUTO FOLD MIRROR NOW AVAILABLE, BAD REVERSE GEAR

Exterior Average looking car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Except the ability to move front non driver seat from the back side, nothing much really. A bit cramped.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Really horrible build quality though mileage is good. My battery ran out in 7 months under warranty and had to wait 15 days for my car to start. Such things happened 6 times. The service team at VW keeps trying their level best to cheat the customer, often explaining anything to be out of warranty. 

Ride Quality & Handling Seldom had problems, but the car is more times non working than any of my other 18 cars I have purchased so far!

Final Words Will never buy a VW again, it was the single worse experience in my life for any car I bought, even worse than Hyundai accent.

Areas of improvement The car needs to improv hugely in quality of reliability and service needs a complete overhaul where the focus shifts from cheating customers to serving customers.

Good mileageConks off every few months, no spares available, pathetic service, service is designed to be costly

Exterior Poor qulaity painting. Full paint gone in front

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very bad. Like sitting in wooden bench . All shocks we have to take. Vento is made with Cheap Poland part.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have spent Rs 20 ,000. Very bad service at Hessaraghatta Bnagloare. Umesh is the manager. sent 6 reminders . No body bothers. I replaced complete brake. In just 18 months I changed brakes. They are asking me to replace even clutch now at 19, 000. They dont cooperate. They fleece money

Ride Quality & Handling Very bad. Like sitting in wooden bench . All shocks we have to take. Vento is made with Cheap Poland parts

Final Words I had high regard for a german car andbought. Our indian cars aRE BETTER. Volkwagen India is dissappointing. They are not fit for indian roads

Areas of improvement Every hwere they have to improve. First Service . Huge spare part costs. Poor mileage.

Name of Volswagen German car. But it is not soVery bad service .I have sent 6 reminders . I have vpaid Rs 20,000 on service. Again I have to repla

Exterior

 Classic royal look

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 It has enough features. Good interior with better plastic quality

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I dorve 25000 and I feel its a good performance car 

Ride Quality & Handling

 I like this machine for riding quality

Final Words

 Its a nice car to drive comfortably. I have been really enjoying to drive this machine. Its giving 19/20 kmpl in highway and 17 kmpl in city. Initially I was in a confussion with Vento and verna, fortunately I bought Vento and i'm really satisfied with the performance. I know Verna is more stylish than vento but Vento is having classic look and better build quality than Verna. Also it has the features which is required for my usage. Only thing is VW does not have the enough show rooms and proper service centers to give proper service after sales.

Areas of improvement  

 After sales service is not good like other brands

 

Classic style, Good fuel economy, Good performanceLess Ground clearence

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Fine.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very Poor all time it needs some maintanance, this time it cost me 30K, with a gear assambly of 16000 plus oil plus filters plus labour, its just been 3 years, 43000Kms, very bad exp.

Ride Quality & Handling Well dont drive too fast it wont come in control that fast specialy turns on highways can be risky. Wind sheet quality is very bad, poor headlights ac is not good enogh for passangers on back seat.

Final Words They could not develop good service centres. No skilled people with them .. so poor service. costly spare parts and you will always replace them by your money because those are company's fault and choosing VW was yours.

Areas of improvement VW needs to replace all its cars on roads first with tested OK ones .. in simple words you need overall improvement.

Looks and nothing elsewell except looks all are subjected

 

Exterior Very nice and good exteriors ..choice of colors also very good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very nice interior ..only the rear seat resting portion was bit hard long drive we may come across back pain 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine noise level on High line Diesel and Petrol found little more than any other car while we are at speed of 60 above..need to know the reason why many of my friends also have noticed this as big concerns.   I was under the impression that its was my wrong observation,but today also we have seen one Black Vento near to my office found same issues where the noise level is so high. Would like to know why this noise level of the engine is so high.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Very nice while driving on humps and pot holes.. smooth drive.  since we are use the right hand indicator and Europe vehicle having left hand indicator.  Otherwise all fine.

 

Final Words Worth for money and keen to buy this car.

 

Areas of improvement Delivery schedules to be reduced in Bangalore with the more numbers of manufacturing capacity.

 

Good Style, Fuel not able to know because it was short drive.Resting at the back seat was not very good its little hard and Engine noise is very high
