    DRIVING:
    Did a short drive once

    Exterior Good looking small (specially from side view) which surprisingly looks like luxury car from side view, good quality strong exterior built.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Average plastic quality with all the modern features available in the comfortline. sitting space i found bit cramped up specially in back seat when front seaters are sitting comfortably. 5th person sitting at back in the middle  is a myth( because theres a wall standing at the middle in the floor.wall most probably caused due to low height of  car and most oftenly cars are used as 2  in western coutries as compared to india where whole family travels in a small car too with a single car present in the family. verdict is - back seat leg space is very low and car can be called as 4 seater rather than 5 seater( but how many times in a year 5 people are gonna seat for a long drive that matters-probably never ). AND HAVE YOU SEEN THE BOOT SPACE!!!

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I took a test drive only - engine felt very good with power- car pooled 4 people with accelator from standstill. fuel economy cannt comment but what I have raed and studied you will get arround 16-20km/ltr which will obviously increase with proper handling and gear and clutch coordination and speed maintainance at 60-70km/hr. gear box felt great and shifting of reverse was nice touch (something new-obviously sum1 will get adjusted with 3 days of driving). verdict- nice engiene with good performance. Cant comment upon 3 cylinder engiene which people are complaining of but i think that when common man is complaining of something and there are 4 cylinder engienes evrywhere, volkswagen engineers must have considered that better than a layman.

    Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality was excilent. our test drive driver made us sit in the back side and took us through a rough patch with potholes and speed breakers. drive was comfortable with4 people sitting though i think gorund clearance is bit low . handling of car was excellent i can feel the effortless control of steering.verdict is -good riding quality and handling with average ground clearance. Afterall its a hatch back not a SUV.

    Final Words Nice car, can be recommended presently with additional updated features in the comfortline-usb and aux input in music player, rear defoger and wipers,remote contolled boot space door. Dont go for trendline(as such warranty will be void when you will add some music system or anything else. comfortline  is the best. Finally its a Volkswagen yaaaaaaar.

    Areas of improvement Back seat leg space , call it a 4 seater rather than 5 bcs of wall in the floor, 3 cylinder engiene I cannt comment, ABS should be present in comfortline also. Actually ABS should be mandatory for for all cars which will decrease road traffic accidents specially in India where streets are filled with, idiots driving cars , scooters , buses as machine guns and small kids playing on the highways who are oftenly  responsibillity of Govt rather than their parents 😄.
