Volkswagen Vento [2012-2014] User Reviews

 

Exterior Excellent and very attractive look with good ground clearance.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is good but leather seat cover would have made it superior, spacious and comfortable at rear seat with A/c vent makes feel cool.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Just had one test drive so can't comment on it, but liked it and I booked it. Yet to have check fuel economy as I haven't got deliver after 2 and half months.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Feel great while I drove it, nice pick up.

 

Final Words I have booked on 10/1/2011 by paying Rs.75000/- to Surat, Gujarat, dealer and yet haven't got delivery and will have to wait up to August 2011 as per dealers words.

 

Areas of improvement Delivery schedule must have to improve otherwise people will go for another brand. It should have audio control on steering wheel as all other brands giving. Leather seat cover should be given in atleast highline models.

 

good stylevery very late delivery

 

Exterior Quite good enough and masculine feeling of the body just like a 6/8 Pack.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious, Comfortable. Little bit of difficulty in seeing through rear windscreen while driving as full view is not possible. All controls , buttons etc are well placed and easy to operate. Most of the buttons have multi functions and so less no of buttons/controls. Good quality inbuilt music system . Even with 4 speakers, it was much better in quality than what I saw in one of my friend's recently bought Tata Manza Elan which was loaded with 4/6 speakers + 2 tweaters etc.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have just completed 600 Km only in last 30 days of ownership and only 20 days of driving and that too driven only in City. Excellent for City driving , easy to maneuver and very responsive steering and I completely liked the drive. w.r.t Fuel economy, I think it is around 11.5 now as I use A/C allways. Climate control is very effective and you dont need to bother about reducing and increasing the cooling/vents etc as everything is adjusted automaticaly once you set the degree required. Those who sit in back were very very happy on the ride quality and felt it very comfortable . The one who sit in the middle seat was not that happy with the hump but will feel certainly bad if it was a long drive.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is excellent. The suspension is superb and it is almost silent inside the cabin. It is difficult to know whether engine is on or not.

 

Final Words Great Car to own , a no frill car and so a decent executive car. I liked each and every aspect of the car and would recommend to those who like a great car with no fancy stuff.

 

Areas of improvement I feel VW could have done some thing to get rid of the hump , Provided AUX, USB, Ipod support in music system.

 

Climate Control, Good Quality Interior, Easy & Comfortable Driving in CityHump in middle of the back area, No Aux/USB connection

 

Exterior WOW. SEXY, CLASSY, STYLISH , STURDY, OWNERS PRIDE AND EVERY ONE ELSES ENVY.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) SIMPLE AND ELEGANT. SPACE- VERY SPACIOUS. Though a big hump in the back centre region on the floor is like a currse to its elegant design.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox EXCELLENT ENGINE PERFORMANCE. U KNOW HAVE TO GET USED TO THE ALMOST SOUND LESS ENGINE WHEN THE CAR IS STATINARY U ALMOST FEEL THE CAR IS SWITCHED OFF. GEAR RATIO VERY GOOD.

 

Ride Quality & Handling IT FLIIES AND IS VER SMOTTH THOUGH SOMETIMES SUSPENSION DOES GIVE A HARD SOUND. BUT THATS OK. Handling - is very easy and strain free.

 

Final Words EXCELLENT CAR NEEDS IMPROVEMENT IN CERTIAN MINOR AREAS.  GO FOR PETROL VERSION -- IF YOU WANT A SEXY NOISELESS PERFORMANCE AND BUDGET IS NOT A PROBLLEM.. LIKE IT IS FOR ME. GO for the diesel version -- if u want fuel economy.

 

Areas of improvement FUEL ECONOMY. SHOULD COME WITH AN OTION OF STEERING CONTROLS AND USB/AUX FACILITIES ATLEAST IN THE TOP END OF BOTH THE VARIANTS (DIESEL/PETROL).

 

LOOKS, SIMPLE - YET CLASSY AND ELEGANT INTERIORSBIG HUMP IN THE FLOOR IN THE CEDNTRE AT BACK

 

Vw Vento is an extremely good car. It has decent exterior and interior. It's mileage is nice and also the handling is good. It has a great suspension and pickup is fantastic. It's rear seats are very comfortable and the leg space is fantastic. It also has rear ac vents. It has a special lever on the back of front space which can push the seat forward and increase the leg space. It has height adjustable front seat and the steering is also adjustable. It's built quality is very nice. It's rear looks like mercedes. Afterall, it has Vw logo. It also has a gear shift indicator. It also has an anti-theft alarm. It has a key which can open the boot and also the windows. It looks extremely dashing and a business car not a funky car. I have a highline diesel variant and it's cool. Its cabin is also silent and it is a really solid and strong car.The best colour is candy white. It also drives very good in bad roads. Overall it's very tough. It's first service is expensive but it is after 15,000 km so it's reasonable. It's power is 105bhp and torque is 250nm which is fantastic. Overall it's a cool package.

Rear AC Vent,Comfort,Space,Plastic Quality,Exterior,Interior,Logo,Pickup,Suspension and handling.No Aux,No USB,No Steering Controls and looks polo from front.

 

In the first look. It looks like a scaled down (Cheaper version of) Fiat Lenia. Horrible interiors loudly express the poor quality interiors. At par with Tata Indica. Flat features. Not expected from the european leades. I mean look at the others. They are loaded.

Come on VW, look at ur your cousins Audi, Skoda, Bentley. What have you done! At one end you have the best automobile in the world & at the other end you are not being able to stand against likes of your own.

The engine is the only part of the vehicle to bank upon. The milage is areal plus point. The engines gives the feeling of what VW is all about.

Cant say more, I am dissapointed from the core of my heart.

Will never purchase!

Instead will opt for Fiat Lenia, SX4 or Will wait for Nissan Sunny. no matter how long it takes.

EngineEverything else

Exterior Beautiful european design with strong road prescence, nice looking body lines, laser welded beeding free glasses, galvonised body.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Decent looking dash boards, not so catchy to eyes though pleasant, You have everything you need in your reach, nicely organised swithches and excellent build quality of components. Very spacious and comfortable ride. feels good behind steering, but better in the back seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent performance, the car follows what your mind deserves. There is never a lack of power, overtaking made so easy. Nice fuel economy, gives around 18 and above in city, upto 21 in long drives. Smooth and perfect gear shifts, good tollerance level at lower gears, you could even ride at 20-25 km in 4th gear without much knock. Gear shift indicator is a nice feature.

Ride Quality & Handling Nothing to tell here, I have test driven fluidic verna, Nissan Sunny and Vento Highline. But the Vento stealed my heart. Excellent power delivery and ride quality, terrific handling. The build quality is felt throughout the ride. It handles bad roads pretty well. Hardly hit any hump if driven with little care - unlike Verna which tends to hit every where and the ride is like in that of a boat.

Final Words Overall a wonderful product; I reccomend this to all who wants to own a quality product and good ownership experience. VW emblom adds a lot to your garage.  I am very happy that I have chosen Vento.

Areas of improvement Add more features like blutooth etc. Otherwise nothing much to say.

Executive syling &European Dsgn. well built body& quality interior, Excellent handling, fuel economyLack of latest features like blutooth, inconvenient positon of hand brake

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Checked the engine oil on 23000km. it requires top up of 1L oil costing 1000 rs. The left front power window switch was not working. by pressing switch it goes down but not able to move up. however, from driver side it was operational. i get it repaired from VW workshop under warranty for free.

Novermber 2012 Front bumper got repaired and replaced rear bumper, since it develped a small crack due to hit by toyota qualis on rear at 90km/hr. i replaced under bharti axa insurance and costing me 3200 rs. the total bill was 16000 rs which was paid by insurance company. it was a cashles insurance.

Febrauary 2013 The left side doors got repaired as it was hit by altis during parking. the bill was 11000 rs and paid by insurance company. i paid 2900 rs only. the doors dents was repaired and doors painted.

Final Words I think bharti axa insurance is good, I did not face any hassle for claims. it was cashless and i claimed two times in three months! neither i call them nor i went for claim. i left the car in VW workshop, there i filled the form only. they take 2000 rs file charges for 1600cc engine capacity and taxes for repair work/replaced part.

Areas of improvement NA.

Built qualityFront bumper tries to bounce downward

Exterior Is Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) is good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox There is some sound from the engine which i have complaint for many time but as the company and dealer has received there profites there is no one to take care of it. "DONT PURCHASE THE CAR".

Final Words You people are here to satisfy your self by making profits but not to solve and satisfy your customers problem.

Areas of improvement Service after sale. There is no one to look after the customers problem after your car is sold. Company officers are scared / dum / unexperienced or what i dont know. They never come in front to solve the complaints your dealer gets payments for every thing but your customer go home empty pocket by paying workshop bills without getting there problem solved. And after 1 or 2 days there is feed back call from your side which is of no use because feed back means it there is any complaints from customer it should be attended within 48 hours. But you people dont even care of all this things. Basically you people dont deserve to be in market. If you realy want to improve your image between your existing customers improve your services.

Good StyleBad workshop service nobody to solve your problems

Hello VW,

First of all we would like to congratulate your team for launching your products in India. At the launch of VW vento car you have advertised in T.V's and news papers that your engineering team were weeping to see off your cars from the manufacturing unit. This advertisement has impressed the customers and we in particular were forced to purchase the vento car from M/S.Elite Motors Bangalore on 30-12-2010 bearing chassis number WVWL10603BT018544, trendline diesel model. Now after going through the features in your car we are forced to weep for selecting VW vento inspite of better varieties and features available in other Indian cars, The reason are as follows.

1. The right hand wind shield wiper arm cannot be lifted even by one inch to wash,maintain the wind shield.you could have easily extended the hinge portion of the wiper arm by three inches to facilitate easy lifting as commonly found in other cars.
2. The instrument cluster which displays temperature,kilometer, fuel tank capacity,RPM needle, KMPH reading and back lit display of AC knobs all are in red light, which will Perice the drivers and the co passengers eyes in the night journey. There is no colour discrimination for which items we are looking for in the cluster.you could have easily used diffent colors to differentiate as in other cars.
3. The child locking system needs the help of driver who has to come all the way by putting off the engine and bring the ignition key to operate the child lock and go back to his seat and start the
vehicle.
4. All the doors cannot be locked from inside which is a big safety concern especially in country like India were the majority of the travelers prefer to lock there doors from inside.this can easily be solved by providing a latch adjoining door handle which very common even in a basic model cars from the inception of cars in the world, and we never expected VW the world leaders in automobile industry to do such blunders.
5. The fuel tank cap cannot be locked from outside after filling the fuel and it has to be locked from inside only.
6. The rear door power window cannot be operated from the driver side and the glass cannot be bought down completely also the top of the glass design is not uniform and one side of the glass is not moving in the rubber beeding.
7. The wheel jack and spanners are housed in a thermocole container which will break very easily, instead a good bag could have been provided which help in a long run.
8. The engine number is not in a prominent location which is very difficult to copy to a document while registering the vehicle.

VW is a century old German car manufacturer and we never expected those basic and silly mistakes by the renowned world famous car manufacturer. The above mentioned mistake are not found in any of the age old Indian cars.We request you to rectify the above mentioned mistakes in our car also we hope that you will put your R&D depatment to swing into action and you will not repeat such mistakes in your next production. About 20 of my friends who were about to book VW Vento are dissatisfied after finding the above mistakes in VW vento and they straight away switched over to your competitive cars. Hope you will rectify these mistakes in our car at the earliest if not we kindly request you to take back the car to keep up the German company image.hope this will be taken seriously and will get a positive reply from your end,as complaining to the toll free number did not yield any result.
