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.

Under power Petrol. Very Costly, Mix of Box and Bubble Shape.

If you Excessive Money to waste, do some charity for under privelaged of the society than buying Jetta. Petrol engine is just too boring. Diesle Engine same as sister Skoda LAURA but at much better price.Costy of owning and maintenance can make anyone bankrupt. If you want to look different on road, go for FIAT LINEA, at half the price but equally comfortable. Easy on wallet in running and maintenance, vert attractive styling. LINEA is much more powerful than, it looks on paper. 1.3 MJD is similar to Vista, Palio & Swift but re-tuned for delivering much more excitement. Petrol is not given much consideration due to DIESEL version BUT LINEA 1.4 is steller performer. At par with ,may be better than Verna, SX4 etc. Just try it at Tata-FIAT outletImage of being GERMANNothing Exciting

Diesel Dilemma

We've always been a fan of the VW Jetta diesel ever since the day we got behind the wheel of one. However we were really smitten when we spent a little more quality time with the car when it became part of our test vehicle fleet for a short while and we were able to put some actual miles on it. So understandably we were quite excited when we were told that we could get our hand on the new updated Jetta with a 2.0-litre common rail diesel, which replaces the 1.9-litre Pump Duse diesel engine. This is incidentally the same powerplant that makes and appearance on the Skoda Laura manual transmission variant.

Our first long-termer has gone back!

The JetSet

By CarWale Team16 Sep 2008

Volkswagen has been a late entrant to the Indian market, but now that it is here, it seems to have a single-minded mission: take over. It tested the waters successfully with the more humble and relatively unknown Octavia and then the Laura from the Skoda brand, and it launched the VW brand with the Passat. Now the Jetta, VW's bestselling model in the USA, has made an entry to lend more fuel the to the D-segment fire in the Indian market.
