Fuel cost is not the only reason to go for a diesel car. The reason I am leaning towards diesel Vento is for its sheer power when compared to the petrol version.

I don't remember seeing anything like "just petrol" in the recent adds from VW too where they were marketing free insurance and some other stuff for both the Polo and the Vento.

The recent 6.99% interest finance scheme had a star mark and it was stated below clearly that it was for Petrol models only.

i fell off my chair when i saw this- how is "Branded Luxury Pillows" a marketable upgrade? seriously - is VW going the same route of offering "limited edition" with complete eyewash options?
Yes- the SatNav is good, but that about it, floor mats, faux leather and cushions are NOT "limited edition"
Can someone please shake these car manufacturers out of their lethargic slumber.

One thing I am really surprised is that Volkswagen has placed full page ads in the newspaper but the dealers dont have any clear info on this.

Even the CHD dealer is not very clear on this offer..

Is it an area specific offer,like eastern India or western India? I think so because there is no disclaimer about any such thing NOR does it state that the offer is from dealers. It simply writes- Contact your nearest dealer for further details:deadhorse

Lol! I wonder who'd really care for the "Breeze" branding.

Breeze at the back; on the "luxury" pillows?! - c'mon, what are we? 1st grade students to be flattered like that!

Aren't "branded" floor mats always given? Or these will be "Breeze" special?

Guess only the touch-screen makes sense. Another way of giving discounts?

OT : How many people actually bought the "IPL" edition - any numbers?

Just spoke to the guys at Downtown. Told me that the entire "Package" costs 32k. I'm guessing this includes the Touchscreen HU & the reverse sensors.
It takes 2 weeks to get the unit fixed after one places the order.

Pretty reasonable IMO. Warranty remains intact :-)

EDIT: Just got a call from the dealer. This package ain't available for the Highline. Bummer!

My dealer in Hyderabad had told me that this offer in only for Trendline variant (petrol+Diesel). The package cost 35k but is not available for Highline variants.

I am also checking with him about the price of HU and possibility of fitting this on Vento Highline. Will update when I get the details.

Cheers!

All these are accessories and not modifications to the original product. Could this be VW's way of clearing existing stock to make way for the new models with steering-mounted controls etc. that we have been seeing getting tested lately?

The car is expected in a day or two ,when i saw this 'Breeze package' and was a bit confused.
Anyways would not like the 'Breeze' logo along with the Polo, seemed odd!

Cheers!

Volkswagen Polo and Vento - Limited Edition in the festive season

The name Breeze itself is a joke. Regarding the link you posted, I kinda like the sharp lines of the current Polo as opposed to the curved one's in the face-lifted version.

Too bad only the petrol vehicles are offered in these variants.
But then the diesels are already selling and the production libne must be in full capacity. But this attitude proves one thing. VW will not sit idle if any product is a DUD. They will find ways to (try to) sell them more.

I think they should instead, have flexible line so that they can produce the diesel vehicles more as the demand increases.

I didnt like the curved one either. The current one is a timelessdesign. VW has to work hard to exceed its current benchmark in the next facelift.

+1 to that.
I would buy the diesel even if it gave 6KMPL. Or in other words same running cost as petrol.
The fun that 250Nm torque can bring is immense.

Not sure how others felt, but the Font displaying the "Breeze" in the rear looks very very ugly.

If at all I get the car, I will first remove the Breeze writting in the rear.

One question running in my mind, normally people come up with special edition only when thier models are reduced in demand. Not sure why Vento is going on special edition despite having a waiting period of aroun 6-9 months. Does anyone know the reason for such sudden new interest from VW to give out free stuff. Dont think its ANHC doing the trick
