Imagine that you’re in a boring meeting. Your thoughts begin to wander, and you think about how much fun it would be to go on a nice drive instead. As your mind conjures up a car for the occasion, a blurry, red shape starts to come into sharp focus, to finally appear as a sleek, sporty sedan — a Volkswagen Virtus, in other words.
It’s a no-brainer, if you think about it. Two different and equally potent turbocharged petrol engines on offer — the 1-litre and 1.5-litre — with thrilling performance combined with everyday drivability and top-notch fuel efficiency; how can you miss? Combine that with a slick-shifting 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic and the 1-litre variant is a proper firecracker. If you want more power, the 1.5-litre engine, combined with an excellent 7-speed DSG transmission, presents itself as a brilliant alternative, without sacrificing fuel economy. Both engines are as happy to transport you around in everyday traffic conditions as they are purring along highways or slicing through a series of corners.
