Asked by: Rahul Ron Mar 1, 2026
I am a 37-year-old self-employed male with two young kids. I loved the Virtus and decided to make it my first car. However, when I calculated the cost of ownership over 10 years, I felt I would be spending too much. My preference shifted towards the Hyundai i20 N Line after reading reviews that described it as a good driver’s car with ample rear space and decent boot space. Mileage is not a concern. My question is: will it satisfy me, or will I regret not getting the Virtus? If I choose the N Line, should I go for the manual or DCT? My usage will be 30% city and 70% highway.
If you have set your heart on the Volkswagen Virtus GT 1.5 TSI, we would strongly recommend you go for one. It is enjoyable to drive, and the 1.5 TSI engine elevates the drive experience manifold. Yes, the total cost of ownership will be higher than the Hyundai car; however, the smiles the Virtus delivers per kilometer makes it worth the stretch. It is one of those decisions that you buy with your heart, and it'll bring you a certain satisfaction each time you are behind the wheel of your car. You don't want to be in a state where you need to compromise, buy a car you're not too keen on getting, and regret your decision every time you see a VW Virtus GT.
That said, if the Virtus GT is a financial stretch you're not comfortable with, then the Hyundai i20 N Line is an excellent hatchback that's both practical and fun-to-drive. The manual gearbox is more engaging than the DCT, and if you don't have to deal with a lot of bumper-to-bumper city traffic, it is the one that we'd recommend.

I own a 2018 Honda City Manual SV Petrol version, and I am planning to buy a new car. I have been driving the Honda City for more than 10-11 years due to the comfort of a luxury sedan. I am confused, as many people are suggesting that I buy an SUV like the Kia Seltos. I did a test drive and liked many of the features, but the comfort of driving a sedan was missing. Personally, my family likes sedans. But I want to know where the Honda City stands in the market. Is it losing market share due to other SUVs and EVs? Should I stick with the Honda City for a pleasurable driving experience and forget about the tech aspect of it? Also, please advise on manual vs automatic, as I feel driving an automatic will take away the pleasure of driving. Nowadays, I have heard that no one is buying manual cars because of the trend and the ease of driving. But I want to know if there is a good driving experience without gears, or if automatics are just for people who can’t manage cars with gears. Also, is the sunroof variant just for aesthetic purposes, or does it really have any usable value, considering most of my driving is in the city? A detailed review would help.
In terms of choosing between manual and automatic, it largely comes down to usage and personal preference. The convenience that an automatic transmission brings in stop-and-go traffic is undeniable, making it the better choice for those with long urban commutes. However, if a manual is what you prefer and the extra effort it requires in the city doesn’t bother you, then that is what you should get.
It’s true the Honda City doesn’t sell as well as it once did in a market dominated by SUVs, but it remains a competent, if somewhat underwhelming, car. If you like the Honda experience and want to upgrade to an SUV, the Elevate is worth considering. It’s a spacious vehicle with good ride and handling and a slick gearbox; however, it is down on features compared to the competition.
If you’d prefer to stick with the sedan formula but want something more engaging to drive, the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus should be right up your alley. They are currently among the most enjoyable sedans to drive in the segment and, even in 1.0-litre TSI form, offer more performance than the Honda City. They are also available with a manual, although Volkswagen has recently discontinued the manual on the 1.5 TSI.
Finally, a sunroof is a luxury feature, not an essential. If you don’t find any practical value in it, it’s best avoided.

Asked by: Sitaramon Mar 1, 2026
I tried looking for the Mahindra Thar Roxx MX3 Petrol AT, but my parents refused because it hurts their backs, as both are 60+, and the Thar has noticeable body roll. I am now considering the Volkswagen Virtus 1.0L engine as an alternative. My core requirements are strong safety, a reliable vehicle, fun to drive, and good performance on a mix of highways, mountain roads, and bad roads, with very good power. My budget is below ₹18 lakh on road. Please suggest how I should go about this.
For your aged parents, the Mahindra Thar Roxx can indeed be uncomfortable. Getting in and out requires effort because of the high step-in height, and since it’s based on a body-on-frame chassis, the ride tends to be bumpy. There is noticeable body roll as well, which can make senior passengers uneasy, especially on rough roads.
The Volkswagen Virtus 1.0 TSI is a sensible alternative within your ₹18 lakh on-road budget. It offers strong safety credentials, solid build quality and is genuinely fun to drive. The 1.0 turbo-petrol has good low- and mid-range punch, making it enjoyable both on highways and mountain roads. It’s stable at high speeds and feels planted in corners.
On bad roads, you will need to be a bit careful, as it’s still a sedan, but the ground clearance is decent enough for most situations if driven sensibly. If your usage is a mix of highways, hills and occasional rough patches, and you want a safer, more comfortable and still engaging option, the Virtus is a well-balanced way to go.

Asked by: Tanviron Feb 28, 2026
Hi, I have a VW Virtus bought in early 2023, and now I am looking for a replacement. My preference is for an SUV. I'll primarily use it for city driving, and my monthly usage would be around 200 km. The car must have a good safety rating, comfort and mileage.
Since you are coming from a Volkswagen Virtus, you will naturally appreciate the Volkswagen Taigun or Skoda Kushaq, as both SUVs carry the same DNA of solid build quality and excellent driving dynamics. Between the two, the Kushaq, which has just been updated with fresher looks, more features and a stronger aircon, would be the better option.
You can opt for the 1.0 TSI variant with a six-speed automatic transmission, which is well-suited for city driving. It’s not the most fuel-efficient SUV in the segment, but considering your monthly running of around 200km, that shouldn’t matter too much.
However, do note that the back seat of the Kushaq (and Taigun) isn’t the most spacious. If you are looking for better rear seat comfort and slightly better efficiency, the Kia Seltos 1.5 petrol with the CVT automatic is another good option to consider.

Asked by: Tejas Kumaron Feb 26, 2026
I would like your opinion on whether I should wait for the Virtus facelift or buy the current model in May. I would also like to know your reasons for your view. Apart from potential buyer’s remorse, I would appreciate your input on this.
If you are keen on the 1.5-litre turbo petrol, there is very little reason to wait purely from a mechanical or driving point of view. The engine and gearbox are unlikely to change, so performance, refinement and overall driving experience should remain largely the same. In fact, buying the current Virtus model could work in your favour because you are likely to get better offers and discounts.
If you are considering the 1.0-litre turbo petrol, the facelift could be more relevant. The new model is expected to get an 8-speed automatic instead of the current 6-speed unit. This could improve drivability and possibly efficiency, but the real-world impact will only be clear once the updated car is driven and tested. Until then, it remains more of a potential benefit than a confirmed one.

I am looking for a fun-to-drive car under ₹15 lakhs. I am an enthusiastic driver and would like a car with really good performance. Other priorities are a decent list of features, especially a good speaker system. Automatic or manual, both are fine. I want to avoid Maruti and Nissan/Renault cars. I could stretch my budget to ₹20 lakhs if there’s a compelling option.
You have a few options within your budget, but you should choose between the Volkswagen Virtus or the Skoda Slavia. Both sedans are mechanically identical and only differ in terms of aesthetics. You can opt for the one you like the look of.
It's worth opting for the punchy 150hp, 250Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol TSI engine that comes mated to a quick 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Both sedans offer an excellent balance between ride comfort and handling, which makes them fun to drive.
The Virtus and Skoda Slavia also come well-equipped, with a 10-inch touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster, a sunroof, ventilated front seats, and a great-sounding 6-speaker sound system. The Slavia, however, does have the advantage of a subwoofer over the Virtus. Both sedans have also received a full, 5-star crash safety rating from Global NCAP.

Looking for an automatic petrol car. My city driving is around 10-15 km on average. Budget around ₹15 to 20 lakh.
You have a few options in the Rs 15-20 lakh range, and its hard to pinpoint something without knowing more about your requirements like rear space, features you'd like or even a body style. Since you are driving mostly in the city, we would recommend either the Skoda Slavia or the Kushaq or their Volkswagen counterparts, the Virtus and the Taigun.
The cars offer up a comfortable ride, and even the sedans have plenty of ground clearance. Importantly, the automatic versions come with a torque convertor gearbox, which is the smoothest type of automatic around and something you will appreciate in stop-start and slow city speeds.

Asked by: Daksh kumaron Feb 10, 2026
I want to upgrade from Wagon R CNG to a new car with a budget of Rs 12 to 15 lakh. I normally drive in the city, with occasional highway trips. I preferably want a sedan. Annual usage is 10,000 to 15,000 km. Also suggest EVs.
Since you prefer a sedan, the Volkswagen Virtus would be a good option to consider. It has a spacious interior, high ground clearance, and the Highline trim will fit in your budget too. It gets cruise control, LED headlamps, 16-inch alloys and wireless charging amongst other features.
The 1.0-litre TSI engine has good performance for the city and highway, and the manual gearbox is light and slick to use. This Volkswagen car offers a larger 521-litre boot and returns around 11-13 kpl of average fuel economy.

We presently own a 2014 Honda City Diesel as our secondary car and an Innova Crysta Diesel as our primary vehicle. Our usage is approximately 60% city and 40% highway. We are considering purchasing a new secondary car; however, upgrade options for sedan enthusiasts are quite limited. Kindly suggest suitable new car options within a budget of ₹20 lakhs.
You're right, the choice of sedans available in the market today has dwindled considerably in recent years, and the midsize sedan segment is being propped up by just four candidates. The good news is that all four of them are expected to be updated in 2026, which should breathe some life into them in the form of updated looks and more features, and whichever car you choose, we recommend waiting until the updated version is launched.
If you're a fan of the Honda City's no-nonsense approach, you'll like the new one, which will feel like a step up from your 2014 model, especially in terms of space and features. However, its single-engine option is limiting, and it is not as fun to drive as before.
The Hyundai Verna is far more versatile and gets an even longer list of features, but it too errs on the safe and unexciting side, even with its 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine. Your best bets are the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus, which, with the facelifts, will get a much-needed features upgrade.
They are excellent to drive, yet spacious and comfortable, and a particular highlight is their punchy TSI turbo petrol engines. Choosing between them is a matter of preference, as they are the same car underneath, but either of these is what you should choose.

I am confused between the Hyundai Verna SX Plus IVT and the Volkswagen Virtus 1.0 Topline automatic. Please help.
In a nutshell, the Hyundai Verna IVT makes for a friendlier city car, while the Volkswagen Virtus AT is the more exciting car to drive.
The Verna has a smoother gearbox, which works very well with the engine at typical city speeds. It works well as a highway car too, so long as easygoing driving is your style. The Verna also packs in more features for less money.
The Volkswagen Virtus has a punchier engine and feels more enthusiastic to drive. Its 6-speed gearbox is also sporty in its shifts. However, the engine-gearbox does have a tendency to lurch forward at crawling speeds, and this is something you have to be mindful of.
Do note, the Virtus 1.0 is due to get a new 8-speed automatic gearbox later this year and could be worth waiting for. The model will also see feature additions.
