On road Pune is approx. 11.47 lakhs including extended warranty of 11,000/-.

I have been given a waiting period of 2-3 weeks, as the Shadow Blue colour is not in their (BU Bhandari) stock. Pepper grey and Terra beige are readily available.

Wow that'sa lakh and a half more than what I paid for the gen 1 Vento AT. What is the like-to-like price comparo with the latest non Tsi/non Dsg variant?

The normal highline AT is just 6000 Rs less. It will be 11.41 OTR Pune (with extended warranty), as per the price list I have. There may be discounts, though.

No discounts on the tsi as per my booking - if anyone gets a good deal, please do post it asap.

Correct. Absolutely zero discounts on the TSI. I was talking about the old 1.6 AT which is still available.

I ask him if they have a Polo TSI for me to test drive? He tells me no sir we have the diesel one, and you will have to wait for 45 minutes as it has gone for refueling. Absolute Nonsense!!
I dont know if VW is serious about India? We bought my brothers Vento 2 years back from a North Delhi dealer and his attitude was the same, if not worse. Go to the showroom at Mohan Cooperative and you will get the same third class treatment.

So i made yet another effort to go see a TSI Vento. I was passing by the VW City Point Showroom in Gurgaon and i decided to go and see the car, if not test drive it.
I enter the showroom (swanky like an Audi one) and see many executives/salesman sitting around, walking around, chit chatting. No one bothers to greet me. I walk upto the recpeption and ask the lady about the TSI Vento. She tells me to wait for 2 minutes. After about 7-8, she walks upto an executive who guides her to another one and that one for some reason does not want to attend to me and keeps fiddling with a music system on display in the accessories section. Finally after 10 minutes one fool walks upto me. I tell him i want to test drive a Vento TSI DSG. He asks me to wait. He goes somewhere and comes back to ask the receptionist.. Chaaabi kaha hai gaadi kee ? she says something back and now he's looking through a bunch of keys in a drawer only to tell me that the Polo has gone for a test drive !! I get super annoyed and i tell him that i want to test drive the Vento not the Polo. He now starts grinning and says woh ton 10-12 din baad aayegee (almost expecting me to apologize for wasting his time). Abhi toh launch hui hai. Now i have wasted 25 minute in this stupid place, so i ask him to offer me a Polo Test Drive as the 2 have the same engine and gearbox. He tells me that they are different cars and i wont get the feel of a Vento driving the Polo. I tell him that i will get an idea of the car and i want to test drive it when it returns. He again walks off and comes back to tell me that the Polo has gone to Bhikaji Cama Place in Delhi. Wont return today !! Now im super angry. I tell him to not bother with any pleasantries. He now keeps going on like a tape recorder, Sir i will arrange for a test drive tomorrow, dont worry sir, will be there tomorrow.. I keep walking away, he doesnt bother asking me my address and thats that.

I have my doubts about the Vento being launched in North India at all.

[Tats07]

Has any member, till date, got a test drive of Vento TSI anywhere in India?!

The best response to such stupid behaviour from dealers is to stop all enquiries, till VW comes calling for test drives.

I had called VW Downtown in Prabhadevi last Friday to check about the test drive and they called me today afternoon and mentioned that the Vento TSI is in display at the showroom but no TD cars have been received yet.

No way they will have any offtake of the old variant at that price! This reinforces my opinion that the TSi Vento is sheer value for money. Hope the dsg box issues have been resolved though.

Vento tsi is very much available . I've already seen the pepper grey version in the same dealership in gurgaon. And my shadow blue tsi will be delivered on 27th.

VW guys have always been very courteous to me... Just ask for Rukhsana and mention my name Jishnu for TD. Vento tsi not yet available for TD. But before you blame Vw for not keeping a TD vehicle for a slow selling vehicle, try any Hyundai dealership in Ncr for a verna crdi at test drive. Believe me, it'll be an eye opener

I booked the Vento TSI (Blue) on Monday. Luckily they had the colour I wanted in the first batch of vehicles that had arrived. No nasty experiences with the South Mumbai dealers at Prabhadevi. They were kind enough to hold on to my colour even before I had confirmed. There is no test drive available for the Vento TSI yet, and the salesperson estimated it might take another month or 2 before they would get a test drive vehicle, since that is what happened when the Polo GT launched as well. They also informed me, off the record, that they are sharing a single Polo GT test drive vehicle between multiple showrooms across South Mumbai, so availability is a problem in most places.

Personally, I was sold a hundred percent after the test drive of the Polo, but space shortage at the rear forced me to go for the Vento TSI. The power is instantaneous. Personally, I am a big Honda City fan, having owned it for the past 5 years. The TSI however is in a league of it's own. Like I mentioned above, the test drive will stand witness to my statements.

Estimated time of Delivery is this Friday or Saturday. Can't wait.

Thank you for the information. From a couple of posts above Pune OTR is 11.4 Lakhs and Bangalore is 12.7 Did not know that there is such a big difference.

If you do not mind I had a few questions:

• Do you know, if for the SBI Loan Part Pre-payment is allowed? Or is it only full prepayment?
• If I am not mistaken, you had booked the Polo TSI. Have you switched over to the Vento? Any new information on Polo TSI waiting times.
• Do they have a Vento TSI TD car at Apple Auto
