Volkswagen Virtus review

Power, Handling performance to the highway. With full control in hands. Mileage is also good in both conditions. Look like Audi A3. Go for it with a second thought. Because the car is a sedan and a sedan is a car.

Its truly amazing to get such a comfy car with all features at this price. WOW !

I got the new lancer 1.5 petrol in Apr'06.ITS A WOW CAR!!!! I wanted to go for the new Honda City ZX, but my friend who already has it recommended me this Lancer coz his Honda City he says is BAD, 10-11 kms avg, poor braking , expensive spares. but my lancer is giving me better than that anyday. it gives me 11.5-12 in city and 15+ kms/ per ltr on Highway. The new beige interiors are amazing, and all the little refinements have made the car the best in its class. Mitsubishi has proven that Lancer is still the king and is here to stay and conquer. BEST BUY Thanks Sachin.Believe me it gives 11.5-12 kms
