Pathetic services from Vw india

I have purchased Taigun one year ago. Pros: excellent handling and stability, ride quality, good mileage on highways, 5-star rated Cons: poor mileage in the city, poor service, the rear seat is not comfortable for 3, poor lighting, tires are not great PPS Somajiguda Hyderabad has given me an old stock vehicle. I purchased it on June 14 2023 however they have given me April 28 invoice vehicle. After raising many complaints nobody has responded properly. Service center experience was very pathetic they only looked for their job targets they did not even bother about customers. That is the reason many of them scared to purchase Volkswagen

One of the best Nexa experiences

One of the best Nexa experiences, it's good, and I take from Nexa the best experience at the Bangalore showroom. In case any planning for a new vehicle, please contact Surakshaa Nexa Car Care Pvt Ltd, Electronic City

With the Taigun 1-litre TSI returned, Volkswagen sent us the 1.5-litre DSG variant for a long-term review. We now had the car for about three months, and here’s what we liked and did not like about it over the 1.0 litre variant.
