I think that Verna would probably see a wipeout in sales because of its similar pricing to Vento. |

I have one grouse though why not a comparison with Fiesta to Vento? |

"All 4 power windows have one touch up / down function" - that does sound like a first in the segment. Even cars in the higher segments do not have this feature. |

Steering reach adjustment- is this first in the segment? |
Reading the comparison of Vento with other C segment cars in your first post, you have mentioned GC of SX4 as 170mm. Isn't this supposed to be 190mm? Atleast that is what Maruti claims. |

I think you are more impressed of Vento D after the Figo D reviewed on 25th Jan. |

A quick look on the net reveals that with a tuning box 1.6 TDi can be tuned up to 125 HP and 300NM of Torque!! Should be a great drive :D Vento + tuning box + alloys : here I come! |

Thanks for the review GTO.. A few pictures of you/others sitting in the car would have given a perspective of space |

What you'll like: • A well-built, robust, European sedan • Clean and contemporary styling. Boot is superbly integrated • Competitive pricing, especially for a German car • Stunning diesel engine. New torque king of the C segment • Mature suspension setup. Balanced ride & handling • Segment firsts : Reach adjust steering, gear recommender, adjustable driver armrest etc. • All-rounded nature; Jack of all trades What you won't: • 6.99L Trendline (entry) variant is simply too basic. No Comfortline (middle) variant • Electric power steering. The Vento deserves a pure hydraulic unit • Some goodies missing (steering-mounted audio controls, AUX / USB stereo, dead pedal & folding rear seat) • Thin 47 dealer all-India network. After sales has yet to prove itself • VW's long-term ownership costs are unknown |

1. The EPS: Is it really bad? How would you rate the steering feel on this one, especially at high speeds, since you have already mentioned that the ride and handling is second only to the Fiat Linea. |
Have things changed from the Polo. IIRC steering was not a complaint there. |

It would be interesting to know 0-100 performance figures of Vento Diesel. More so. when the engine specifications of Jetta Diesel( Old and New ) and Vento Diesel are almost similiar in terms of BHP output and are identical in terms of Torque.Both vehicles share the Torque of 250 NM at 1500-2500 rpm, notwithstanding the fact that Jetta has 2.0 L TDI engine and Vento has 1.6 L TDI engine.Given that Vento weighs 1220 kgs (High Line) whereas Jetta weighs 1420 kgs, the Vento clearly has favourable power to weight ratio,ceteris paribus.As a natural corollary, Vento's performance, at least in theory, ought to be equal or better than Jetta in 0 to 100/120 category. If this turns out to be true, then Vento should return mind-boggling performance figures.Just to get a perspective, according to ACI, Jetta accelerates from 0-100 in 11.94 sec. Given that Vento is 200 kgs lighter, it ought to better Jetta performance by a wide margin. No wonder people reviewing Vento Diesel are going gaga over it. I am just eagerly waiting to test drive Vento to see for myself how it performs. |

Wonderful review GTO. How is the rear seat space compared to the Octavia? |

If the Polo 1.6. petrol reaches 100 kmph in 11.1 seconds and others who have received it have said that it is sluggish in the start, does it mean that somehow the acceleration picks up in subsequent gears? |

How pronounced is the axle hump at the back? |
As per your review ICE is average. How can one change, but one wants keep the Highline variant as well. |
Are 15 Inch tyres good or its worth upgrading to 16? Any thoughts? |

Besides the flaws like Dead Pedal, USB-AUX, DoorLock, Steering mount audio controls, complex mix of wheels (15" & 14" spare) or front reading light in the new VWV, I think VW seriously messed up on the rear seat area. Adjusting facility of the front passenger seat by rear passenger might not necessarily be an advantage. Most serious inconvenience is the flooring hump of about 6 inch at the centre. I don't find any logic of doing it. With the major problem areas like dealer network, A-S-S, long run maintenance cost of the car, I will be keen to know the average fuel efficiency of Petrol Highline in a city drivig condition. I am also looking for a comparision between VW-Vento and Mitsu-Cedia. All the comparisions are between ANHC and Vento as yet. |
