Worst car to Purchase

I had bought the VW Taigun car last Year in November 2024 out of sheer joy of buying a VW car. The car broke down in 8 months and was stranded in the middle of the road and was not moving. They said that this is a clutch plate issue and occurs mainly due to the driver's behaviour. I have been driving for the past 15 years, and never have I faced this issue. Later, I had no option but to change it by shelling out around 30K . It is almost 1.5 months old, and again I am facing the same issue. My car is stranded on the day of Diwali, and i had to block a tow truck in the middle of all the hassles, and I am also stranded with my Family middle of the road rather than enjoying the occasion. I have never had such a lousy car in my life. I am scared to even take my car out now, and I think I need to maintain it like a museum car. They need to stop producing cars and start doing something business.

Wonderful experience

A great driving experience I had with the Jeep Compass. Either off-road or smooth road, you will feel great comfort next to luxury. Smooth drive even on rough stretches. Loaded with a variety of features.
