    HIGLINE DIESEL FLASHY RED.

    Exterior: Colour: Flashy Red; It s got amazing looks, turned couple of heads and you just can't take your eyes off once u've parked it. I <3 that. Specially the Red is the best in its class. Paint quality and texture is equivalent to Ferrari.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The seat is quite comfortable and there is ample amount of leg room. U justy don't get tired. I am music lover. Hence, listen to all types ranging from Carpenters, Jim Reeves to Sufi to PitBull, JLo & David Guetta. The VW has a tie-up with Kenwood for the music system. Its absolutely class when listening to soft numbers, but turns u down whenb u change the track to Kid Cudi or Eminem. Its not a big problem. I guess you can install a whole new JVC equipment for about 25-30K.

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is just awesome. The gear shift was quite smooth.(Kindly scroll down to areas of improvement).

     

    Fuel Economy I drove 118Kms yesterday itself after purchasing. The screen shows 14.6 KM/L. Its pretty decent I feel considering that my avg. speed was 95 Km/h. Also clocked it to 130 Km/h.

     

    Ride Quality & Handling Lacks power during pick up. But, when RPM crosses 1.5. its vrooms past any car on road. Beats Skoda too. Man!, its got something under the hood. Sheer Beauty.

     

    Final Words  Despite all those minor issues. I still adore it.

     

    Areas of improvement

    1. The reverse gear is a big problem as far as my driving style is concerned. Found difficult
    to adjust from my Scorpio & Esteem. Y'day itslef accidently I got confused btw the first/
    reverse atleast thrice.

    2. Parking Sensors are mandatory. Should be company fitted. As its a problem considering the
    tiny rear view mirror.

    3. Steering: it does'nt come with chrome. What a dismay!

    4. Schemes/Offers: The deal was very dry. No accesories or free goodies were provided except for the key-chain, box of toffees n a bunch of flowers :D, They really need to improve on the sales part.
