Need to improve in many fields

 

Exterior Exterior Looks are Ok. But Following points to be improved.

1. Front style (lighting and frontage) and ground clearance (bumper side)

2. Undercarriage (near rear wheels), two cables are hanging - could have been tucked carefully to under carriage. (seen in all Vento cars)

3. The radio antenna at rear spoils the total beauty of the car.

4. All the door beedings are of poor quality - can wet and spoil in rainy climatic conditions.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

1. Door locking system is not reliable.  Only front door lock is synchronized to remote system.  Hence if any other door is open(partially - unknowngly), the car does not give any warning after remote locking.  A major safety issue.

2. Visibility of rear view mirror is partially blocked by the unnecessary aand unusable backside height/slope rear to back seat.  A poor design.

3. The Floor plates at all the door steps are perfectly horizontal allowing water to rest there.  Also, during rainy driving water seeps into door steps.  Would have given a small slope.  Poor quality implementation. 

4. Rear passenger seat at the middle has a big obstruction from the projecting mid portion at the floor bottom.

5. Driver seat area - the resting pedal near the cluth pedal would have been provided

6.  The quality of plastics used in the dashboard and interior are very poor.  Cannot expect this from Volkswagen.

7.  Volkewagen would have used a better audio system with more features, which is not costly now and available in almost all types of cars.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance - Not bad. 

Fuel Economy - not as expected. Can get average 17.5km/l only after 5000kms of drive (mostly highway drive), where as company claim is 20.5km/l.

Gear box has occassional rattling at 2/3 gears are rear gear shifts.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality not bad. Suspension would have been better. Handling OK.

 

Final Words Not at all upto the expectation from Volkswagen. Need to improve in many fields. Technically as well as in quality aspects and customer support. It was disappointing to note that the dealer could not inform the exact time in which first service of the car has to be made. At 15000km (one said). Service people told to bring back at 7500kms. Which is correct?

Very poor dealer training from company - it seems.

 

Areas of improvement Many - as mentioned above.

 

Engine power good and have some driving comfortMany - This car doesnot show Volkswagen's professionalism. Details below
