The VW Virtus turns three! We take a moment to celebrate it

THRILLS REDEFINED

It feels like only a fleeting moment ago that we geared up for the launch of VW's Virtus sedan and yet here we are, three years since. Yes, it's been three years since Volkswagen Virtus gracefully emerged onto the Indian automotive landscape — a svelte, refined sedan venturing into an era seemingly captivated by the ubiquitous SUV. And what a transformative three years it has proven to be.

You see, back then, the automotive landscape was rapidly transforming into an untameable SUV-fest. Every manufacturer, it seemed, was scrambling to offer their own high-riding, butch-looking machine. The narrative was clear: if you wanted to be cool, if you wanted space, if you wanted presence, you needed an SUV. But then came the Virtus, a defiant whisper in a chorus of roars, a testament to the enduring appeal of the sedan.

CHARACTER CERTIFICATE

Recently, I drove the new Mahindra Bolero, an all-black number that somehow still manages to turn heads and spark conversations. Of course, the bare-basic automobile made me wonder out loud at length about its nature. The seats were terrible, it didn’t go very fast, it didn’t steer all that well at whatever speeds it could muster, and stopping was as much a matter of braking technology as it was of prayers. But I liked it. It had character. It sort of reminded me of the Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber, which once pleasantly surprised me with its lovely nature, even though I was done for by the end of the day. The days spent in the Bolero and on the Bobber confirmed what I've always known — too much character is bad for my back.
