    Value for Money

    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior Decent exteriors; however not as good as some of the competitors; nowhere as good as the Europen Rapid/Octavia

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Decent Features list, safety - abs, 2 airbags, auto door lock plus hill start assist, space and comfort is good, beige interiors look spacious and premium

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The 1.5 105ps tdi engine + 7 speed DSG auto combo is a treat. the car runs super smooth, the engine has a superb mid range - there is a lot of power starting as low as 1500rpm. DSG ensures that you get the best of power + Fuel efficiency. however the engine is not rev happy and complains above 3000rpm. 

    I do almost 85kms daily (gurgaon - noida - gurgaon) and the car gives me 15kmpl. on highways, typical avg is ~20 if driven at 100, ~18 if driven at 120. on one fine day under my strict test conditions, I clocked 27kmpl on a 40-km stretch as well!

    Ride Quality & Handling The car has good ride in the city and superb control at high speeds. 

    Final Words All in all a great buy. bargain for discounts at the dealer level and you will end up getting great value for your money! 

    Areas of improvement NA.

    performance, DSG automatic gearbox, smooth and planted rideno touchscreen audio system
