    Following are the outstanding features that could lure customers towards VW:
    • ABS, Dual Airbags,
    • Mileage of >19kmpl,
    • Alloy wheels.
    But if the price is slashed to some level,VW could stir some competition in Indian Market.

    To answer your question,It is certainly a "Yes".
    With a whooping power of 105PS and 250Nm torque and a fuel efficiency of >19kmpl, I dont think there are competitors for it.

    @#-Link-Snipped-# : Indeed Volkswagen's TSi engines are a masterpiece. 105ps and 250 nm for a hatchback is monstrous. VW claims a top speed of 195 km/h which is great for a sport hatchback. Indeed the comfort features as well as the ergonomics of the car is brilliant but it misses some of the features like keyless entry, rear AC vents, child safety lock but the driving dynamics and the thrill you feel when you have such a powerful engine under the hood will surely be awesome. What bothers me a bit is the mileage in city because this engine uses a combination of supercharger and turbocharger. although this approach is excellent for enhancing performance by elimination of turbolag and increasing the volumetric efficiency, but at lower speeds and continuos gearshifts in city, the engine might drink up a lot of fuel at least in India where smooth running traffic is difficult to find. In my view, this car is a brilliant package and those who love to drive, its a boon for them. The new Honda jazz may be a competition for this, but rest of the hatchbacks in India give this VW no threat. Thumbs up for this new wonder.
