Volkswagen Ameo 1.0 MPI Highline Plus

I drive a 2018 volkswagen ameo highline dct tdi.This is truly the most underrated compact sedan ever in india.So less people bought it because it was quite expensive for the top end model with dct in 2018 at rs.12.30 lakhs.And people in india were happier buying so called “big cars” from indian manufacturers at this price range.The car runs on diesel, Churns out 110 bhp and 250 nm of torque.It weighs 1500 kgs.The 4 cylinder engineer paired with turbo and dct(german dsg) is a super powerful mean machine.I have reached top speeds of 200 kmph in this car.It’s accelerates like a jet engine.Reaches 0-100 kmph in less than 9 seconds.There’s not a single car i have not overtook on bangalore-mangalore highway on this car.It’s a shame the diesel car was discontinued by volkswagen.It’s 5 year old now and still my most prized possession! love you volkswagen ameo(amigo!) 🙂.

Awesome vehicle with very low low nvh complaints & a quiet cabin.Dsg gear box gives a whole lot of different driving experience in comparison with its segment.

This looks good and comfortable.But leg space is less on the back and also pick up and mileage is not good.The engine makes lot of noise and for my car the engine randomly have starting trouble.It starts after 20 minutes after 50 tries sometimes, Sometimes 10 tries.Also the service team told they had fixed the issue but the issue keeps coming again and again.It never happened when i take my car to the service center.So this probem is forever.

Overall performance is good.Pleasure to drive.Very good driving engaging experience i get in my at.Very much comfortable to ride.

This is 4th year of my ownership.My usage has been limited to just over 23k kilometers during these years.Mostly used on long road trips between 300 to 2400 kilometers, Experience is rated at 3.5 actually, Out of 5.Simply for the maintenance cost which has been on a higher side.The model, Even though not well received by suzuki obsessed fellow indians, Does have believers like me.Feel the safest while driving.Have done sharp bends at 100 kmph leaving honda cities and innova behind.Never ever felt unsafe with this vehicle.Response to acceleration, Braking is little slow however, This is compensated on steep hill terrains where i don't even have to pull down to 4th gear at times.
