Pros Cons of Volkswagen Virtus

Pros

  • Strong turbo-petrol engine options, especially the 1.5-Litre TSI
  • Five-star Global NCAP safety rating
  • Excellent high-speed stability and composure
  • Spacious 521-litre boot
  • Solid build quality and planted highway manners

Cons

  • No ADAS features
  • No 360-degree camera
  • The DSG gearbox can feel sensitive in heavy traffic
  • Comfort is slightly firmer than that of the Honda City
  • Higher variants can get expensive
     

Verdict

The Volkswagen Virtus is one of the most driver-focused sedans in the segment. It does not follow every trend or overload buyers with gimmicks. Instead, it provides structural safety, turbocharged performance, and true highway confidence.

As Bilal Firfiray summed up during the drive,

“The Virtus is like a proper sedan, it stays stable, is confidence-inspiring and built for the long run.”

If your priority is the number of features and ADS technologies, the Verna may tempt you. If rear seat comfort is the number one priority, the City is still strong. But if you appreciate stability at triple-digit speeds, solid crash protection, and turbo performance, then the Virtus is still making a strong case in the Indian car market.

Pros Cons of Honda Civic

Pros

  • Sexy looks
  • Premium and spacious cabin
  • Powerful and peppy petrol engine

Cons

  • Low profile tyres are noisy
  • Steering at times feels cumbersome
  • Petrol-manual drivetrain would have done wonders

Verdict

And this is why the company has also taken cognizance of the feedback on the 8th gen car in India. The ground clearance for this India spec has been increased by 20 mm in front and 15 mm at the back. Having driven over a variety of roads, I can safely say that the ground clearance is not an issue whatsoever. I know you are now probably wondering where I stand on this car. It has some obvious flaws and some great strengths - but to me its also about its legacy and therefore the return of the Civic nameplate to India is just terrific. I welcome it warmly - and also now hope that Honda prices it sensibly. That won't just be great news for Civic fans, but also for the ailing midsize segment that badly needs a hit.
