Again, don’t know at this point.

Yes we did. VW team has given us an audio CD with their compilations. System sounds as average or good as any other OE system.

So what is the final conclusion ? VW has a winner on hand after the VENTO success?

Only time will tell.

You think so? Frankly we didn’t feel this at all. In fact DSG behaved very well at higher speed.

Was it same way for the older model?
If that is the case how is play of the accelarator, does the angle differ if its connected from bottom? |
Didn’t you see the same in old FIATs? It’s a very old design and no, it doesn’t make any difference in terms of feeling.

Observation: It is one to have a "Design Elements" for your car. One recognizes the Ford's Kinectic Design elements very nicely.
But this is taking the Design elements to its hilt extent of hating it. You just cant copy paste a design elements for all the cars, looks err odd.

I’m confused here. Are you talking about Vento/Polo family look?

Yes, we felt the same too.

Btw, in the variant comparo with other cars, should not the Renault diesel be listed as an entry level variant?

Well, may be you’re right here. Let’s check and we’ll get back.

You’re right to a great extent but customer expects always more. No?

I think this is the best car in it's segment, features may come and go, but it's the entire package of engine / dynamics / gearbox / safety / appeal / over all experience that matters a lot more then not having the ACC or Memory seats. Yes opinions differ but none of the omissions are worth not buying this car for.

I somehow tend to agree with you here. But then it’s an individual choice of course.

What FE did the car show on the MID during your drive?

Again, didn’t check. Sorry about this.

I feel the car will look more striking in better colours

Agree with you. I feel VW may consider this after seeing their sales chart few months down the line. On the other hand, customers for this segment normally go for silver/white/black.

They sit right below the bonnet line.

I haven’t driven a Laura. GTO should be in a better position to answer this.

Choice is yours and both are good. I’ll go for manual box anyday.
