I owned the Vento GT with 1.2 TSI, 7 speed DSG with LED headlights, tht offered in limited time. Bought the car at August 2017 and used for daily driven. Clocked 17k mileage now. and just had first service last month.
What i love about this little beast :
- Punchy engine, good performance, beaten almost every competitor in its class, an typical vios or city cant catch up with their powertrain, this little Vento drive like a 1.8 litre car
- Fuel consumption is good, with 5.5 L/100km, one full tank last me around 8 days with daily commuter of at least 70km per day and 2 hour of jam daily city drive
- Quality that convince me on my driving experience and safety compare to sushi car then feels inadequate solid and empty feeling in its class
Problem? Nope... its cant denied that Volkswagen have some history in Malaysia due to the 1.4 TSi engine and gearbox issue, but those are in the past, the current batch and newer engine and gearbox is seem rectified, it seems that some of the mindset of people here given out that is reliable or prone to fail here misleading without owning the Vento 1.2, well money is yours, you can have your own decision to go with rather listen to those ppl who doesnt even own one or heard from someone-else mouth
Conclusion, for me i bought this car mostly because of its engine and solidness of the car which i had the City hybrid in mind during the decision last year. Also due to the
5 years free service and warranty which save me up to extra cash. I love to let you know, just go ahead to get the Vento 1.2
