    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior

     Great looking car. Elegant design.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     Packed with lot of features but lacks some basic things like navigation and blue tooth functionality

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     The DSG gearbox has a near 100% failure rate. Almost all owners have had to replace it. Same is the issue with the Multi Clutch. High cost replacements... Car scores poor on reliability. Engine is good but overall parts failure rate especially related to gearbox and transmission is excessive. A car which seems good value for money but turns out to be most exepensive to own and maintain.

    Ride Quality & Handling

     Ride quality is good but handling is just about average. The suspension have been kept too stiff for Indian roads.

    Final Words

     Don't buy this car unless the company makes significant improvements in the quality of parts especially gearbox and transmission.

    Areas of improvement  

     Nearly everything. Improve reliability of the car. Reduce the number of trips needed to the service station and improve dealerships.

     

    Styling and host of add on featuresPoor reliability. Parts failure rate high. Gearbox faulty.
