Test drove the Virtus 1.5L TSI DSG yesterday. My observations are purely based on driving performance in comparison to the cars that I currently own: GT 1.2L TSI DSG and Ameo 1.5L TDI DSG.
With a price of 22.5L on-road Bangalore, we felt that it was a lot of money for a not-so-significant upgrade in performance (we were planning to exchange the GT TSI for the Virtus). And then the mediocre music system just did not make the cut (my brother's Slavia with the subwoofer sounds so much better).
P.S. Once you look at the digital cockpit of the higher-end VAG cars like the Tiguan/Octavia/Superb, it will be very difficult to like the screen being offered in the Virtus and its siblings.
P.P.S. This is what happens when you get spoilt by VAG cars. Upgrading becomes very expensive. Plan is to wait for a couple of years and then go for the 2.0 TSI.
Here's what BHPian Indepth had to say about the matter:
Exactly my thoughts after test driving the Taigun. Even the 1.5 didn't feel like leaps and bounds above my 1.2 TSI. Moreover, the interior quality/finish felt like a Honda Jazz kind of thing. I can't wait for VW to improve/facelift, so I have decided to line up for big daddy.
