Just today when I was driving home from office-where there was yet another conversation of 'When are you changing your car?', I was noticing some small stuff that brought a smile of satisfaction to my face that still makes me look forward to being in my car (Vento 1.2 TSI DSG)

• The 1.2 TSI (with a remap). The joy when you stomp down on the accelerator and it just takes off. Something very few cars can match even today.
• The fact that all windows have auto up down.
• The subtle use of chrome. On the gear lever, headlamp switch.
• The fact that nothing has deteriorated even after close to 11 years. I sometimes think VW took extra care on the initial batches of the Vento TSI with respect to the quality of materials used.
• The inner satisfaction when people refuse to believe it is such an old car.
• The boot that seems to be able to take any amount of luggage. No need to plan or do any mathematics. Bring all you got, I will take it in.

Some more visual elements that just make me feel good any time I get into the car.

The way that the steering wheel is finished and how it has held up.

The stitching. Almost 11 years now and not even one stitch has come off in anyway.

The solid DSG Lever with the embossing and the chrome and leather finish. Feels fantastic to operate

The roof liner that was much talked about in the 2.0 cars. Has just remained as is. Greatly helps keep that good feel inside the cabin
