    I have shared my personal experience brother. The engine & monocoque body are not the problem, it is the weak (soft suspension, plastic parts like radiator carriage tray & AC vents that are flimsy. My radiator tray got broken 3 times just by normal use on pot-riddled Indian roads. I had to replace front shock absorbers after just 7 yrs, 57000 km. The car also has low road clearance, so I fitted taller tyres (corolla tyres). The radiator tray with labour costs Rs 10000/- plus each time. Check options from ford or Hyundai, they should be more cost effective. Yes, I'm thankful that the car saved us in an accident just after 5 months in a head on collision with a two wheeler, but the air bags did not deploy. Manufacturer stated that passenger seat belt not being on as the reason. Check my earlier updates also. Take your own decision. Wish you safe travels.

    In 9 years I have paid close to Rs.130,000 for service. Tomorrow will pay another Rs. 32000 for my 10th service. Rs 160,000 in 10 years time translates to roughly Rs 1500 per month for service which is reasonable. You service only once every year and that is a big advantage and if you don't have to replace any spare parts in the service other than regular oil and filters you can be assured of 12-15k in bill.

    Well the VW is a german brand so high servicing and maintanence cost goes without saying. No if u compare with brands like maruti,hyundai,toyota, -then the price of maintanence Of volkswagen Would be Higher. But if u compare with honda, ford, and skoda then the maintanence cost is approx same.. Same goes for the parts as well.. I also have a vw 2k18 edition -my second vento.. I am very happy with the performance and comfort of the vehicle - youll feel the difference between this beauty and the others right from the enterance-rock sturdy design built for providing comfort and safety...

    Adequate bolstering

    My Volkswagen Vento (diesel automatic and 2015 make) experience after driving 120, 000 kms.The Vento has an amazing driving experience that makes you carve corners. What I like the most about this car is its brilliant gearbox. The two modes of the gearbox are very smooth and refined with lighting quick shifts. The sporty feel of the car, the efficiency of the TDS engine and the quick-shifting DSG make it a mile muncher. Its been 7 years and I still find reasons to drive this amazing sturdy and safe car. In terms of the comfort level, The front seats are quite supportive with adequate bolstering. The rear seats are also good, However, The legroom is a little bit less compared to other cars in its segment. In fact, it is nowhere close to what my humble Honda Jazz offers. The best thing about Vento is that nobody can beat the driving pleasure. The sporty feel that it gives you is rare in this price bracket. The excellent boot space of 490 ltr. More than enough space for a family trip. Very safe and good build quality. Comes with dual front airbags. Using this car for more than 7 years but still there is no vibrations or rattling sound or any other plastic issues. Build quality is very good as compared to Honda and Maruti. The steering weighs up very well when you gain speed. Even after good sporty driving pleasure does not mean you get less average. In the city, you get an average of 18-19 km. While on the highway you get a very good average of around 25 kmpl. I have personally travelled from Pune to Udaipur (885kms) to pali (186kms) to Udaipur(186 kms). Overall 1200 kms in a full tank of 55 ltr.After-sales service is good. The service is prompt. The worst thing about Vento is it has fewer features than other cars like Maruti, Honda and Hyundai, but to me build quality and driving pleasure is more important than feature-rich cars which compromise on performance and handling. The maintenance cost is quite high. Below a lakh km, I was paying around 15k and 27k alternatively for the annual service. No major part changed during this period but after 1 lakh km in Dec 2020, a series of things happened. At 1.1 lakh km, I was driving the car and suddenly the flywheel got damaged. Had to tow the car and after analysis, They said both the flywheel and the multi-clutch were damaged. Got a bill of 97k. DSGs are unreliable. After driving another 7-8 months, I was getting another gearbox related issue in which the car was not moving in the drive mode. When analyzed they said, mechatronic is damaged. Need to change it. Got another bill of around 80k related to the gearbox in a year's time. Ac performance is quite sub-par. In a state like Rajasthan, on a hot day, the car struggles to cool the cabin. The area which requires improvement in the car is its service cost. Service costs should be lower. Parts cost is very high, especially the imported ones. The company should provide good tyres. Volkswagen group should come with robust ACs in a tropical country like India.

    Super safe

    Vento is complete value for money, With a zippy 1.6 diesel engine, Super safe at high speeds, Being a sedan has a low cg which makes it very easy to handle on treacherous hilly roads, The quality of plastics in the interior and the leatherette used is very superior.After nine years of use it still feels new, It has given me a fuel economy of 17 kmpl in the city, 21 to 23 on the highway @ 100 to 130 speed, And uphill drive 17 to 18 and downhill drive 25 to 30 kmpl.Maint average cost is about 12k annual.
