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.

Dream Car

My First car was Opel Astra which I drove for a year, currently i am driving Opel Club. Believe me - I am in love with this Opel brand. Today if you want to buy a second hand mid-size car- Opel is THE best. In 1.5 to 2.5 lakhs you can get the best. Mind you it original cost during early 2000 used to be somewhere around 8.00 to 12.00 lakhs. Dont go by stupid valuation of some car web site. I have test driven many car in this category. But hardly any of them matches the grace, quality and pick up of this beauty. Spare parts might give you trouble but you may still get it.  Excellent grip & pick up, smooth drive, beatiful look, spacious & comfyexpensive spares, interior not jazzy but good
