Overall Ownership Experience

The car is an absolute joy to drive — every time you get behind the wheel, you don’t want the drive to end.

However, the DSG gearbox feels jerky in D1 and D2 gears, which is noticeable in slow traffic. That said, the car feels planted at high speeds, and cabin noise is almost non-existent, making highway cruising a breeze.

Initial Issues
  • Faced AC cooling problems early on.
  • Resolved by an ECU update, but only after convincing the service advisor that the air-conditioning performance was subpar.
Disappointment
  • The stock tires supplied by VW are underwhelming.
  • For a car priced over ₹20 lakhs, VW should at least offer options like Continental UC6 or Michelin Primacy ST4.
Service & Maintenance Experience
Service center visits
  • Once for seatbelt replacement (safety campaign).
  • Once for 1-month periodic inspection.
Issues faced
  • Staff takes over 2 hours to begin work.
  • Accessories are usually out of stock, which is disappointing.

On the positive side, the car has not required any maintenance during the first two months of ownership.
