Volkswagen Ameo User Reviews

I have purchased Volkswagen ameo diesel top model a few months back and I want to share my experiences which I personally feel will be of utmost help to all those who are planning to buy volkswagen ameo. Pros 1.Solid built quality Superb high speed stability. 3.Steering feedback is awesome. Steering is light at low speeds and weighs up perfectly at high speeds. 4.overall fuel efficiency of 19kmpl. may not be exceptional but still decent. Braking is exceptionally good. 6.All switches are back lit at night Cons: Stiffer suspension results in undulations and potholes being filtering into cabin which is quite irritating at low speeds. MY car developed suspension problem at 4000kms wherein the front suspension would make squeaking noise whenever I had to take a turn while driving. The issue was however resolved by service center. 2.The biggest drawback of volkswagen ameo is that it has an extremely poor rear space. Even an average height adult won't feel comfortable in rear seat. Ameo is in fact. The only sub four meter sedan with tightest rear legroom. All those who are planning to buy this car must not get allured by the features like rain sensing wipers, cruise control etc because due to extremely poor rear legroom this car is a complete deal breaker if rear legroom is your priority and you are in search of a good family car. Last but not least I would suggest all those who are planning to buy volkswagen Ameo must take a serious note that this car scores too low on practicality because of extremely poor rear legroom and according to me it is a total waste of money.

fuel economy as promisedorvm could have been better

I purchased my Ameo Highline diesel manual in Dec 2016. Driven around 63000 kms. 25 km/l can be easily achieved by maintaining a consistent speed of 100 kms. Ride quality is good. Looks like a small car however when you drive the explosive 1498 cc diesel 110 ps 250 nm torque( same as Vento diesel engine) , you forget that you are driving a small car. The speed gets masked well. stability on the highway is amazing it's like leech. Great build quality, no rattles until now, Rear looks disintegrated, however, it's not an issue for me, Can live with it. Boot space is good 330 lts , practical . 4 adults 1 child can sit comfortably. 3 adults in the back is a tight fit. Rear seat space is comfortable if person height is below 6 ft. Service interval is 15000 kms or one year whichever comes first. General oil service cost would come 11 thousand plus change. Il makes sure that any extra jobs like ac disinfection, interior polish etc is not done. additional wear and tear parts like brake pad change ,disc change etc will cost extra. brake pad pair change will cost 3 thousand. Brake pads plus discs change will cost around 7 thousand. I got an extended warranty for three years. default warranty given by the company is for 2 years. Good for a family of four. No major part failure or issue faced in these three years. More of fill it shut it forget it experience. No major cons So far.

Service is extremely poor. Staff is untrained . Warranty is only for engine and window winders{ really check before buying}. Had three clutch plate replacements in 40000 kms. No spares sold by company, you have to accept there shoot ,overpriced,service. Do not buy if you love your money and peace of mind.

Disclaimer: This is my personal experience and not promoting any brand, will not be responsible for any form of using this information. I have purchased a VW Ameo Highline top end last yeat December at Hosur and drove almost 18K. Performance and response was like. Getting an average milege of 18 - 20 (which is in City limit). Driving at 100kms is not felt like so and very quite & easy to drive. Over taking is never been a problem. Engine response excellent when you would like to over take. Checked some of the vehicle in this segment but in my first look finalized with Ameo. Never felt tired of driving irrespective ofthe kms :).

At 15K, first service charge alone cost me 12.5, spares are costly but it's ok (Fog lamp is 1K). I love my VW Ameo.

Final Words Felt like value for money.

Areas of improvement Maintanence cost (Service charge alone 12.K + any spares). There should be many service centers (In blore it takes min of a week to get an appointment).

Suspension should be improved. There is a huge gap beneath the engine which makes very much comfortable for the rodents to enter easily into the engine area. Closing option for Rear AC vents if not required (currently only you can change the direction).

The high priority one is the rail which comes under the chase (not sure about the technical name) should be bigger enough or kept near to the corner to avoid damage with the stones. (In dark i took a right turn not knowing a bigger stone and it chewed the right corner exactly under the driver seat, that material looks like a rubber).

Style, Stability, build quality, featuresrear space, suspension

Power an torque is awesome. Steering is also so smooth. Driving is also so smooth. Infortainment system is also quality build. Cruise control is also very comfortable and easy to set and adjust according to the requirement. Nice colours to select according to the choice of the customer.car key is also awesome.

i have buy in 2017 January till now I have ride 155000 km this car is so strong,low maintenance compare in an other car, full safety, more comfortable,servicing is very nice in SHOWROOM, it's good things is it had no staring oil and gear oil it is life time. Front looking is awesome body is strong..

Wonderful car by Volkswagen with good built quality and safety measures . Car feels very smooth to drive and pickup is awesome never feels sensation on speed but only drawback of VW is that the running cost is very high and ground clearance is very much less . It is one of worth buying for safety .

It's worthy for money, safety is guaranteed, breaking system super, had a long drive and even in 120km/hr drive was ok, good perfomance, you can trust the car. Technology and engine performance is perfect.
