    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Bought a vento petrol about 10 months back and since then already had 3 visits to service station and i have hardly covered 7.5K kms. In the very first week after delivery, there were problems with some loose contact on the braking system and i had to take it to service station. Had to spend a day and they fixed the issue.

    A few months down the line, there was rattling sound in the cabin. I took it to the service station and spent a day and after multiple attempts they fixed the issue. There was a free rain check up call from VW for A/C cleaning. After that i could see too many issues

    When on a long run, the A/C would turn off. The blower would keep running, but there would be no cooling effect. Also, when you switch off the engine and remove the key, the audio system stayed ON. Just two days back, i started getting burning smell from the A/C so i took it to service station today. They did not find the problem with A/C but saw some software errors on their car health checkup machine which they cleaned up.

    Not sure if VW is serious on quality in India. Internationally they are renowned for quality - this does not seem to be in line with their image though.

    Looks, Interior, Drive feelPick up in petrol is poor, requires too many trips to service station
