Issues on my Virtus: 90 days of ownership, spends 45 days in workshop

Should have waited for other options like the Verna instead of purchasing this.

BHPian Abhisang recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

My Virtus GT had the following issues from day 1:

• Brake calliper noise on braking at low speeds (abnormally loud, like a bus brake sound on traffic signals).
• A humming sound from the right AC vent (right of the steering wheel). This only comes when I press the brakes.

My car has been in the workshop 45 days out of the initial 90 days of ownership (6 visits to the workshop). Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed, especially because everyone acted as if it wasn't their problem - from sales to dealership employees.

Finally had the VW team visit and resolve the brake noise issue - even though the noise hasn't come for 1000 kms, I'm still nervous every time I press the brakes at low speeds.

I sometimes hear the humming noise from the fan even when I'm not in the car

I wanted to enjoy the driving experience, but I believe these issues have left a bitter taste. Now I can only look forward to highway driving, as the sounds are too annoying during city commutes. Should have waited for other options like the Verna instead of purchasing this high school project of a car - put together and working somehow. The car is always on the verge of going through a new problem.

I hope this comment can save at least one trusting buyer from making this mistake.
