Volkswagen Vento [2012-2014] User Reviews

not a good experience to have this car.

Look and Style  descent car-- classy interiors ,leather seats etc.

Build quality When I enter the cars cabin it feels classy. the build quality of plastic interiors,switch controls, seat adjusment handles, leather wrapped steering wheel-- all are good.Exteriors are well too, good quality door hanldes and paint.noise of closing doors is very high. 

Comfort It is comfortable to drive this car on highway, good suspension,there is body roll at corners(hilly areas),tilt as well as telescopic feature of steering wheel makes driver much comfortable.

Rear seat is good enough for ladies,there is enough knee room but less head space.

Mileage Mileage in city is around 14 and on highway it is 18.

Best Features Very good audio system with steering mounted controls, height adjustable driver seat and all headrests, parking sensors work very well, one touch up and down automatically all doors glasses, ,rear vents  also tilt and telescopic steering wheel

Needs to improve Ground clearence is good but should be 10 to 15 mm more,noisy engine audible in cabin,less head space

Maintainance Maintainance is very very costly, if u compare with other cars it costs u about 5 to 6thousand more every year, it doesnot require frequent repairs,Every Service cost is around Rs 11-12000 and it is after every 15000kms.

Overall Experience It is good car but not best sedan under 11 lac,it has just vw image nothing else---if u r looking for best sedan under 11 lakh, go for new rapid. well still vento it is better than fludic verna,verna has just looks---very bad suspension and handling.

Exterior The best In class and Value for money.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Awesome Interiors, Good space and superb comfort.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best Performance, good fuel economy.

 

Ride Quality & Handling U can feel the ride quality and handling, no car can match this, not even city.

 

Final Words I got Black Highline Petrol In the first batch Itself.Dealers and showroom response are the best.I have driven Aveo, City, Verna, SX4, Dzire, Irrespective of the price Vento Is the best in  class and true value for money. The only missing things In highline are Steering controls, USB Port and side Indicator on the mirror. Over all a great car In this segment. You can feel the ride on the highways.Good braking and car stops In a 5sec at any speed. Has very good boot space. Got a very good mileage on highway. Over all best In class and best In this segment.VW maintains It s quality and design upto the mark always. I had booked this car without even taking a test drive and Just when the news came on the Internet.

 

Areas of improvement Sterring controls, USB Ports, Side Indicators on the mirror.

 

Good Style,Good Power,Good Fuel Economy,Great Interiors and ExteriorsSteering controls,Side Indicator on the mirror,USB Port.

Exterior Good styling with awesome tail and headlights. Nice looking fog lamps.But when we compare it honda city, hyundai verna and skoda rapid it comes last.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Apart from its rivals it is the most uncomfortable car i have ever sat in .It has least boot space and the least features compared with honda city and hyundai verna.Worst interiors.When I sat i it my first line that cae out of my mouth 'WORST INTERIORS'.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Its gearbox is good. Fuel economy is not good as compared to honda city.

Ride Quality & Handling Not at all good for driving as it is the most uncomfortable car.Handling is ok.

Final Words Buy it if think its features are enough and it is comfortable. In my opinion don't buy this uncomfortable peice of shit.I would only buy it if its comfort level incresaes.

Areas of improvement Its my humble request to volkswagen plese increase the boot space and please do something to increase itts comfort level.

Features are good,styling is nice but hona citt is much betterMost uncomfortable and most less spacious in its segment

 

Exterior A solid build and stylish looks are a hit.Rear looks a bit odd but it is brilliant in the rear because of the 'VOLKSWAGEN' badge on the left side of the boot.While compared to the pricey City,VFM Fiesta,Italian Beauty Linea, flimsy Verna Transform and SUV-ish SX4,then the Volkswagen Vento looks like a luxury sedan.  

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dashboard a little dull but excellent fit and finish.More features can be available on a Rs 10 lakh car but lots of space as well as comfort.Still Chevrolet Aveo feels classy in the interior though. 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The 105 Bhp engine is excellent!I like the Fuel Economy,delivered 31 Kmpl on 5 days!On 5 days a car can deliver 11 Kmpl but VW has delivered completely different fuel economy than the VW Polo.No DSG but still an excellent gearbox.But option of a Diesel Automatic could better the Verna Transform.Otherwise still Vento is an all rounder.     

 

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality and handling.It is excellent on highway roads of Delhi.

 

Final Words "VW Polo with a boot, I think that".You thought this?I also,but nearly good value.Solid and very excellent 105 Bhp engine.Pros-Fit and finish,Performance.Cons-Little expensive,But not when compared to Honda City which is the priciest.Vento is the heaviest but a luxury car feel cannot let it down.VW is excellent.Vento=Excellent.   

 

Areas of improvement Little expensive.Vento is such a good car,no more cons.

 

Luxury car cabin feel,Brilliant engine,Fuel EconomyLittle expensive

 

Exterior Good Looks and strong build, a class of German Engineering, rear wind shield can be more big in size.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Leg Room SPace is too Good both at front and back but the back seat is horrible, not enough wide and no support for back / shoulder. It will be challange to settle in the back seat during long drives. (it is surpising that the seats are not designed properly inspite of the fact the lot of leg room space available).

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good Engine, didnt check the economy, gear shift was smooth.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Good comfortable ride, even on bumpy roads vento gave a comfortable ride.

 

Final Words Good Choice, But do u really want to spend 8 to 9 lakhs and have your driver all the comforts and push yourself in an uncomfortable back seat.

 

Areas of improvement Back Seat, Integrated Steering Controls, USB / MP3 facitlty.

 

Strong and Quality German Build, Steering wheel is awsomeRear Seat is not at all comfortable no support for the shoulder and thighs

 

Exterior Simple body lines, since it is polo with boot but we will feel that it is well designed.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is adequate, small feature likeglove box and coin storage was very nice The Vento comes with the SpaceMax control which is available for the first
time in any car in this segment. This innovative control allows you to move the co-driver’s seat forward while you sit at the back, thereby maximising legroom.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I love gearbox, it is very smooth and milega i am geting around 19.9. engine per formeance is also nice.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Good pickup and in display the enggineering gudie me to gears i want to travel.

 

Final Words A good car for money,monthly savings in fuel, I love to drive in highway due to great pickup.

 

Areas of improvement Delivery time,after seeing my car (I had taken delivery by nov3rd), three to four of my clients (I am an architect) want to book trendline diesel but they not even taking the booking.

 

A car with good pickup,a very good car in c segment sedan, it is better than honad cit(drived 4000 knothing

 

Exterior is super compared to every where Honda City and other cars in this segment.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) good feel on the front but conjusted at the back.

Firstly I was so happy that I booked a Vento and would buy a german car but my luck favoured the american I almost waited for 3-4 months but never got the car every time I call the dealer in bangalore he says problem in production of top end models, at last he himself has recomended me to go for CRUZ, mean while problems faced by other Vento owners added masala to my dreamcar. Please VW India dont Spoil potential customer like me. I was so proud of vento model that I had booked 3 more cars on my reference, I had to change due to frustration and the other 3 fallowed.

A Vento owner has to definitly adapt to his car by the first look because it unlike normal cars few good few bad, but the VW delears in bangalore are not adapting to the fast marketing skills like the HONDA & GM guys. Please some one at VW India fallow up with your customers who have booked a car.

Exterior Good but look can be more improvised like that of HONDA / LINEA look . Rear Look is not so attractive.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good but front Dashboard is dull , could be more attractive.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good and Smooth driving , but fuel economy is horrible in case of A/T version.

Ride Quality & Handling Good and Effecient.

Final Words Overall good performance with value to money but Fuel Mileage to be Increased . Average : 10Km/L which is very costly affair for PETROL Users . Please advise can we FIT a CNG KIT to the VW VENTO A/T  Highline , If yes then , will create any problem in Engine Efficiency . Kindly update me or advise me if I can FIT my Car with CNG KIT.

Apart from this, Excellent Car to own, carries a Brand Value, Excellent Ownership and Status pride to Own VW, My Wife prefer to Drive the A/T version and she is comfortable in DELHI City, Massive Traffic . Manouvering is very Easy. After Sales Service to be Effective and need a VW Managment look and strong follow up.

Areas of improvement NA.

Good Style , German EngineeringBad Mileage , After Sales Service

Exterior Front looks same as polo.Undercarriage (near rear wheels), two cables are hanging - could have been tucked carefully to under carriage.

Interior (Features, Space & C.omfort) Rear passenger seat at the middle has a big obstruction from the projecting mid portion at the floor bottom. The quality of plastics used in the dashboard and interior are very poor.  Cannot expect this from Volkswagen.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox performance is too good compared to fluidic verna ,city,sx4,linea. Now what do I say about the engine performance. How do i describe the feeling. Amazing, Incredible, Splendid, Superb. Well many more of the similar type of words. Boy you have do it on your own and find out. I felt like i taxied an airplane in the last leg of its take off attempt. It is so poweful. Amazing pick up. Shoots like a rocket. Engine is noisy in sports mode.

Ride Quality & Handling Amazing ride quality and handling. Just amazing. Splendid. I drove it on a paddy field like road. Full of slush, gutter, potholes. Uneven surface.

Final Words Value for money only if missing features are added and areas where attention needed attended to.

Areas of improvement USB, steering mounted, wooden interior,electrical adjustable mirrors.

Engine is so powerfulNo new technology like usb aux and steering mounted bluetooth
