Volkswagen Vento Conclusion

On the whole, the German sedan- Volkswagen Vento - has got solid built with some exceptional European standards that are rarely seen for a subcontinent bound sedan. The clean and uncluttered styling is one of the USPs of this sedan along with fuel alternates of diesel and petrol. Out of the two power trains, diesel takes the cake that outpours some excellent torque numbers that make it distinct.

The suspension quality is way mature compared to a bit rigid one in Volkswagen Polo hatch. From the driver’s point of view, the adjustable arm rest acts pretty convenient on longer journeys. The electronic power steering does no good to the sedan, hence a pure hydraulic one could have been kept as standard. There are more of positives than and negative markings in Volkswagen Vento, but the question remains about the heavy maintenance costs and very limited number of Volkswagen dealership in the country.
