Volkswagen Virtus GT DSG: Replacement for my Ciaz diesel due to NGT

Took the delivery of the vehicle in August, I got a great deal from my local dealer up here in North.

Good morning everyone,

It's my first post here on Team-BHP and I would like to inform that I am also a proud owner of a white Virtus GT DSG.

Took the delivery of the vehicle in August, I got a great deal from my local dealer up here in North. I had to bid adieu to my trusty diesel ciaz which was nearing it's faux end. (thanks Green tribunal)

The good bits so far:

* Drives like a dream with seamless gear changes. My Last ride being a manual, it is definitely night and day. The faster it goes over our glamorous roads(wink wink), the better the ride gets.
* Massive upgrade in terms of build quality from Ciaz. Thankfully no rattling noises yet. Cabin is pretty silent and with music switched ON you get cut off from the daily hustle bustle.
* Electric seats are great, changing seat position while driving is just so much more safe and convenient now. Bolstering is pretty good too.
* Headturner, I am always looking back to admire whenever I leave it in the parking lot.
• Infotainment system is pretty smooth, and the display is crisp and UI is pretty easy to understand.

The not so good bits now:

• I couldn't believe that the reverse camera is same as my 9 year old ciaz.
• No sunglass holder. Have to carry a case now to keep it in the glove box.
• High beam is just average, might be alright in darker conditions, but doesnt just light up the road like I hoped it would. I wish a separate high beam projector should have been provided instead of the forward turn signal light.

Went for the partial accessory kit, didn't opt for the rubber mat. Upgraded the horn a few days after delivery, 7D mat from the nearby accessory shop, boot mat from amazon and it definitely looks amazing.

Contemplating now to get active TPMS and a forward facing dashcam atleast.

Any suggestions would be appreciated on the above.
