                   I am the owner of the car and have been owning it for the past two years . During the buying process i have been considering punto , swift , figo. i was impressed with the build quality of the car and since it was a volkswagen i was very confident about the car . so, i went ahead and purchased the car.

I am a business person, I have been doing a great number of highway trips with this car for about 600 to 800 kilometers in every trip and i find this car extremely fun to drive and comfortable but in comparison with the competitors there is a very limited rear leg room but for my height of 5'2 i find it pretty comfortable .
but folks this car is all about the driving pleasure , you can just chuck it into corners as it performs better than every other hatchback in its segment.

EXTERIOR:

I personally like the design language of the car. it is very upmarket and has its vw design structure clearly in it. The car looks very sporty and looks very good in white .(which is the color I own)
it is an heavily built car in its segment and it can be clearly noticed when open the close the doors.

EXTERIOR

INTERIORS:

The interior of the car is very plain and simple yet it looks elegant .we have a dual tone treatment of both black and beige.The controls are very well placed and the steering is adjustable which helps in finding the better driving position.
The front seats are very supportive where as the rear lacks legroom for taller passengers and there is a huge centre tunnel which makes tough for occupying three fully grown adults.
The car offers many features which are actually useful but lacks with some which the competitors provide .

INTERIOR

PERFORMANCE:

The car is powered by a 1.5 liter diesel engine that churns out 88 bhp and a 230 NM of torque .
The car is very responsive in terms of performance and is very confident in the highways during triple digit speeds .The car sheds speed in no time and maintains its line.
Acceleration : 0 to 100 takes 12.3 seconds
The top speed is around 180 kmph

QUALITY:

The quality of VW can be stated in a single word "It can be stated as the best" in the segment .
The fit and finish is fantastic and cannot be mistaken .

MILEAGE:

The car is one of the best in terms of mileage considering its performance and the weight of the car.
It has a fuel tank capacity of 45 litres.
Mixed economy : 16
Highway            : 22
City                    : 12

   

SERVICE:

The service cost is on the higher side , considering the brand and the quality it offers and the driving dynamics of the car i feel its not a big deal considering the service interval which is 15k kilometres or a year.
For a service interval it cost somewhere around 6k to 7k rupees .
And if its due for a major service like any part replacement it cost a little more .

PROS:

Heavily built
Good performance
Fuel efficient

CONS:

Small rear seat
A little costly to maintain than others.

FINAL VERDICT:

The car is a great drivers car and is very fun to drive out in the highways as well as in the city.
if you could manage with a little cramped  rear seat and a expensive service than the other brands .

please go ahead and own 

THANK YOU:)
