Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent tried and tested engine with smooth acceleration. City 14 km/l, Highway form 18 up to 22km/l depends on personal driving habits. Once it has clocked 24.6 kmpl when driven at 60 to 70 km in 5th gear on the highway.

Ride Quality & Handling Best in segment in terms of ride quality and handling

Final Words This is a value for money sedan with lots of first in segment features. From my point of view the best under 4 meter sedan in india and every penny is worht paying for this car. As we know german build quality is simply unmatched and when u ride this car u feel the difference between and german build quality and japnese/korean make. Even honda city has less gross weight than Ameo!

Areas of improvement It is a never ending process, so nothing to comment.

Safety, reliability, Excellent driving dynamics, VW BadgeNothing really

At first glance, anybody can make out that it’s a VW car. Thanks to its sibling's inspired looks (Don’t know if VW has any other designs – Polo, Vento, Jetta - all have the same front end).

High speed stability is fantastic. You never feel discomfort at high speeds. Steering response is good.

Impressive feature list include cruise control, auto wipers, reversing camera, touchscreen etc. Interior quality is among this segment's best.

The materials used are high quality and the fit and finish are excellent. It blows the budget cabins of the Dzire & Amaze away. There are no rough edges anywhere. Flat-bottom steering gets leather, chrome accents and piano black panels for a premium look. It's chunky and sweet to hold. Hornpad will be a stretch for those with small hands. It's not easy to press either.

Unfortunately, European orientation means lights on the left and wipers on the right. Switches for the cruise control are located on the indicator stalk.Typical VW ORVM adjustment knob is located on top of the door handle. ORVMs can be retracted electrically by turning the knob to the topmost position (clockwise or anti-clockwise). The lock/unlock buttons are large. The doors auto-lock at 15 km/h. The lock/unlock action is audible, although not as loud as say the TUV300. Good value for money.

Ride quality and Safety(ABS)Less variety in the colour

Exterior

Nicest, sober looks which surely provide a feeling  of toughness.. However, those looking for funky impressive looks, will not like it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Many features packed in. Space is good. Climate control works well. Yet to experience the rain sensing vipers. Phone and music bluetooth connectivity is good. Ingress and egress is little dififcult for heavy and tall builds. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine noise is diesel like, even in Petrol and takes time to get used to. But, with that, comes good power distribution characteristics. At high speeds above 30 though, this goes away and the cabin silence is comparable to any petrol car that you can talk of. Engine perfomance is one of the best and I have attained speeds of 110 kmph at times, with full load- 5 grown ups + boot full of luggage. However, when it comes to racing with biggies, it sure looses steam above 110 kmph. But, that is good for a safe ride. Fuel economy nears what is claimed by VW. Gearbox is smooth enough. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Suscpension performance over bad roads is one of the best that you can experience on India roads. Huge speed breakers suddenly mean nothing and it is relieving to get rid of the dilemmas- Whether to cross the speed breaker or not!! Stability at high speeds also is very good, although stability on sharp turns at speeds above 100 are a concern. Overtaking and cutting corners is very easy.  At times, on few pot holes though, the thud of the suscpension is frightening. You feel like the suscpension broke, but it does not. 

 Biggest VFM feature of the Ameo is the "Cruise Control". You should experience it to understand what is stated here. Its a Big relief on long drives. And you get it only on +15 lacs vehicles other wise. Smartest move by VW, which unfortunately is way ahead of time. 

Final Words

 Good value for money for those, who want to migrate to their first mini-sedan. Especially, the safety features that VW have packed in. You really feel safe in this car. 

Areas of improvement  

1) Mirrorlink is a feature which is almost not usable and is a waste of money by VW. After IOS and Android, people do not want nore dependencies. They could have tried provding something better which could cast screens of your cell phone to the touchscreen. With the premium paid, one would expect at least to be able to see the GPS Navigation from cell phone, even without any touch screen feature supported. Or watching videos. This would have been a USP had VW taken little more inputs. (Given that Ameo is designed for India)

2) The blowers provided ( For rear seat passengers lack switch on/switch off functions. Take up too much space compared to the comfort provided. Absence of flat floor makes it difficult for the rear middle passenger to feel comfortable.

 

Value for Money with all the features packed inMirrorlink Limitations, Engine Power

Exterior Very desent look. front look is same like POLO & VENTO.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quality dashboard, attractive features, rear AC vent. but less space.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very noicy engine,desent fuel economy, Gearbox is very nice.

Ride Quality & Handling Good for ride & handling. But engine is very noicy, sound like old truk. 

Final Words Guys, Please don't go with any compact sedan(CS)cars in India. CS cars are just made for india & they are making business with us.

Areas of improvement Lots to be improved, still am wondering why Volkswagen is using old 3 cylinder 1.2L MPI Engine. its need to be changed, 3 cylinder 1.2L MPI engine was using in FABIA petrol segment, even FABIA sales has been stopped in INDIA long back. I don't know why VW group is using FABIA engine after long time. VW is very worst in serivice and expansive too.

Personally, I felt very bad with volkswagen Highline1.2 Ameo(1.2L MPI Engine).

Extraordinary features with in this price range.Engine performance is very worst in this compact sedan segment. It is just having 3 cylinder engine.

Exterior Good styling and decent looks. Headlights can be improved with projector lamps. Rear boot cover design and styling can be improved.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Touch screen infotainment inclides a Decent Music system and radio. CD Drive can be enhanced to accommodate DVD. Slightly Less rear row leg space makes it a tad uncomfortable for rear seat passengers. Rear row seats can be improved with rear arm rest.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good- Can be improved. Fuel  economy is not the best in class. Engine power is minimal at 75 bhp. Mileage is not the best in class and can be improved.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is comfortable in normal city driving and is quite deceent on highways  and falls slightly short in power at gradients in city driving.

Final Words Overall - a nice car with decent looks and comforable ride quality. Good value for money and a decent sub 4 meter sedan.

Areas of improvement Touch screen can include GPS Navigation. Phone linking via blue tooth is a good feature. DRL and front parking snsors may be added for impovement. Light for row is a feature missing.

Ride comfort and styleLess leg space in rear row and absence of GPS navigation in Touchscreen

Volkswagen is something which is meant for real car lovers !! My buying experience was superb.. Their dealing will melt your choice to move towards VW. Ameo gives real driving pleasure, comfort and fantastic build quality. It is best in safety measurements and I guess only VW has passed the crash test by 100%. My suggestion is those who are crazy about cars go for VW.

Pros :- *The cars gives a fantastic exterior look and is super stylish and also the interior is also amazing. *The car has a good and fast pickup and it's 1.2L Petrol engine provides enough power for the car. *Its boot space (330L) is also enough for a small family's luggage. The rear vent AC also works similar to the front AC. *The car performs excellently on any kinds of roads and you can feel very less jerks due to the independent suspension. *Other features such as CRUISE CONTROL, AUTOMATIC RAIN-SENSING WIPERS, COMFORTABLE BUCKET SEATS, DUAL PROJECTION HEADLAMPS makes the car Stylish, Sporty and Luxurious.

Exterior It looks like a regular Polo, but a sedan vehicle, overall it has good looks and you can't differentiate which car it is "Polo/Ameo/Vento" when it is seen from front. Because all these vehicles looks same from the front nose to the rear doors.

Very Stylish, more linear bumpers, well designed headlights and chrome finish, which is heavily influenced by the likes of Polo and Vento.

Roof is little lower when comapred with Polo and Vento, with which the Sedan look has come.

Boot looks chopped off with a sharp/flat shape and as everyone says "between the lights to number plate they borrowed it from skoda". Boot space is 330lts and the loading aperture is wide, we can load luggage freely.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quality of the intererior materials is no match with any vehicle in this segment, that's why "Volkswagen only can build a VW", you can see that video in youtube. No one can complaint about this, i can challenge.... You will have the "Paisa vasool feeling", touch and feel the quality. Dashborad will be good with dual-tone, chrome finish and has very cool looks with flat-bottom stering.

This car has the best in class features when you compare with its rivals in this segment. Touchscreen Infotainment, Bluetooth, USB, SD Card, iPOD and MirrorLink connectivity. Two airbags and ABS are standard across all the variants. Automatic rain sensing wipers, auto climate contol, Rear AC vent, reverse parking camera with sensors, cruise control, steering controls, voice command, driver armrest, cool glovebox, etc...

Space and comfort is good, but rear seat space is above okay - Due to the centre tunnel in rear it eats the foot space to acommodate three people freely. I dont have any complaint about space, we have medium sized people in our family and they didnt felt any problem at all. Only Aspire has more leg room space in this segment. When compared with others "Ameo can be in par with them."

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox So far it is Good, it has only 3-cylinder engine but still it is powerful one. Fuel economy is okay, in city I get 15kmpl and I has to check on highway. Gearbox is smooth and one needs to adjust with controls, " as the controls are in opposite sides in VW - you get left or right controls confusion". Where i saw lot of people put wipers instead of indicators and viceversa. My friend's car Ameo CL has lot of engine noise, but i didnt notice it in my car (strange, is n't it).

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is Solid and safe, steering&brakes are perfect and there was no sound from engine. As the kerb weight is good, car will be very stable and strong on ground even if you go speed. It has galvanised steel body enclosed by a laser-welded roof fortifies, you can see in youtube.

Final Words I have seen several biased reviews from the autoportals. But i can say, all they have mentioned is not true and can be a paid reviews from other manufacturers. Ameo is  far-far better than any other vehicles in the segment with the best in-class features. I have visited all showrooms and reserached on lot of vehicles but "I can prouldly say now that i own a VW - It is a Right Vehicle with Very Good features and Quality".

Areas of improvement Not much, as the rear center tunnel occupies the space, they can provide a rear armrest. Rear headlights and model has to be little stylish instead of flat shape.

Good ride, build quality, reverse parking camera, front look and best in class features..Rear end looks
