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.

Honda Elevate review

Honda nailed it with the pricing! Finally! This car is value for money considering other manufacturers! Buying experience: should be good Looks and performance: looks high class, looks like its global models abroad. Performance for a natural aspirated model is quite good. Mileage is good too. Pros: looks, build quality, engine, price Cons: few features like ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof is missing.
