Taigun 1.0 Topline AT

VW in Chennai is quoting me 21.3 lakhs for this and 23.85 lakhs for the GT DSG. It’s the 2026 new facelift vehicle.

The road tax in Chennai is on the higher side and if anyone is from Chennai, please let me know.

For people, who might comment the 1.0 L isn’t powerful, please note, this is for my wife and not for me.

VW Virtus makes sense in 2026?

Hello Fam,

I’m from Ahmedabad 28M and always wanted to buy VW Virtus GTLINE MT 1.0 tsi since last 4-5 years. I absolutely love the car.

But since this ethanol fiasco I’m worried about the purchase since now I’m planning to go for a purchase finally.

Questions to the fellow owners/experts -

  1. What are the current discounts being offered as my dealer quoted me 16L on road as the final price, is there any further scope of negotiation?
  2. What is the usual mileage you are getting with regular petrol and xp95?
  3. I’ve been hearing and reading a lot about epc issues. Is this a genuine problem or happening with few?
  4. I’m purchasing a car with hard earned money does Virtus actually make sense in 2026?

Advice on petrol for Kushaq

Hi, I'm expecting delivery of my new Kushaq in the next couple of days. I have seen that as per the owner's manual, it is advised to fill at least 95 octane petrol for the car, although it can tolerate as low as 91-92 octane as well. Earlier this meant that Kushaq owners had to fill XP95 petrol since that met the required octane level.

With the introduction of E20 petrol across the board, octane of regular fuel from the pump is also higher than 95 (source). Does that mean that it is now safe to fill regular fuel or is it still mandatory/recommended to fill XP95 petrol? Based on my limited understanding, XP95 also contains additives which might be useful for cleaning internal lines/fuel injectors in the TSI engine.

Curious to know what other owners are doing? Do you fill the regular petrol from the pump or do you exclusively only fill XP95? Would be grateful for all thoughts and inputs on this. Thank you.

New Buyer/Driver

Planning to buy a car for the first time. No experience other than learning driving from a driving school.

Saving for quite some time to get my first car and planning to get a Kylaq automatic. My initial budget has increased as the days pass and now I can afford a slavia/virtus 1.0tsi automatic.

I know that parking and other things will be a bit tough for a beginner with a longer car but my question to the sub is, realistically for a city drive heavy usage, is slavia/virtus size practical for a beginner.

Calling all Volkswagen Virtus owners

I purchased a new car. The GT line and there is a creaking break sound the minute I release the break from parking or I’m going at a slow speed. The company has said that this is normal and they actually have the audacity to tell me that this is how the car sounds. At such a premium price. Should I be accepting a new car with a break sound and they just throwing their hands up and saying that this is an operational noise Please all the Virtus owners come in. Please Give me your feedback and let’s find a solution to this.

Bangalore - New kushaq randomly paint removal spots

There are small places where paint is getting removed like dot-sized.

Not sure someone is actually scratching our car because we haven't. Very weird if someone is doing it purposefully.

New car 3 months old and it’s so sad to see this.

As we all know in Indian market we only have 2 option technically 1 but yes around 20-21 lacs on road.

Slavia and virtus with 1.5 ltr turbo engine with dsg

And guyss don't say verna 1.5 turbo, i test drove that car and hyundai make verna's suspension softer idk for what reason is it for comfort or something but due to that softness in suspension the car feels so bouncy on high speeds ( that's why verna is out for me ) .

I need suggestion on both cars because I've never heard anything good for German cars expect their performance, i know they are bit on the expensive side

Pls guyss let me ur opinion and current salvia or virtus 1.5 owners pls guide me .
