- Just Bought TIAGUN GT Line
Just bought TIAGUN GT Line AT 1 month back. I already own POLO GT TSI since 2021. Main reason I watched from hatchback or Sedan to SUV is that it's comfort and suspension quality is better than my Polo. Engine of this TIAGUN GT Line is very much refined to the level that on long run Highway it literally feels quite like you are driving electric vehicle.Cabin noise isolation is also way better than POLO. Ground clearance increases tire radius to 17 inch wheel and refined engine makes it perfect DUV for long run. Only place where it falls behind POLO is milage where my Polo can deliver 19 KMPL TIAGUN will reach 16 to 18 max.Read More

- AC Cooling And Software Issues
We bought Taigun from the first lot of delivery after the launch in 2021. We have been having continues AC gas leakage issues with the car from second year onwards. Car has been sent to Gurgoan service centre multiple times and they have opened the car to max to find the issue but every time it is sent back unresolved and we end up following the same process again. Each time of this check car gets retained for 5-6 days but yet VW not able to resolve and find the root cause of the issue. While the car is sturdy and comfortable but it has some manufacturing issues including frequency software not working or door lock concerns appearing as well at times. We have been using VW cars since the last 12 years and have never experienced anything of this nature prior.Read More
- Very Comfortable But Less Power
The dashboard of Taigun is very clean and the fit finish is very good and feel solid but does not get soft touch material. The rear seat is very decent with good space and highly comfortable and i have 1.5L turbo petrol engine and the engine is very energetic but the power delivery is low. The gearbox is very smooth and quick shifts and the ride quality is very nice even on the bad roads but the features are missing.Read More
