Value for money in the mid sedan segment entring into the luxury sedan arena

 

 

Exterior The vento has very elegant exteriors. From far it might look like any other sedan, but when viewed closely every part of the car seems to be very well thought out when designing. The exteriors are neither too dull nor too loud/aggressive ... "elegant" is probably the right word.

Also the car gives a very solid feel ... lives upto the reputation of German cars.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The car is very spacious - a spacious boot space and spacious rear seats. I got the original vento brown seat covers which really give the interiors an uplift ... would strongly recommend those for anyone who buys a vento, it gives the car an almost all leather type feel.

The A/C for the rear seats is awesome, I haven't seen it in any car of this segment. Also, I love the armrest ... driving this car is a pleasure. The controls on the drivers seat do seem a little simple ... but I don't mind that given all the other things it has to offer.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It has been almost a month since I got the car, I believe it is giving me around 13.5 kmpl (trendline petrol) which is awesome ... My monthly budget on fuel is pretty much the same when I compare with the esteem (2002) model that I had earlier.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is awesome ... to the degree that i don't feel like taking any call when I am riding my vento. The engine hardly makes any noise (inside or outside) ... a little bit when accelerating. The ride is very smooth especially when you have one hand on the armrest :-) I am enjoying every moment that I drive this car.

 

Final Words "The" car for mid sedan segment entering into the luxury sedan arena. I got mine at 7.75L on-road from Volkswagen Gurgaon. For this price ... I think the car is a steal. There are so many people that have stopped me to ask about the vento (thanks to volkswagen's strong marketing) ... it really is one of those cars that gives people something to talk about :-)

 

Areas of improvement Not much really ... maybe the driver controls / dashboard could be a little more flashy, other than that ... all is well.
