Hailed by many as one of the best cars last year, the Volkswagen Virtus is certainly a handsome one. It features great proportions, a clean, very VW silhouette with straight lines and a muscular stance. In fact, I can go on and say that of the current batch of sedans in the segment, the Virtus will age much better. In the beautiful shade of blue that our long-term review car comes in, it looks particularly impressive.
With the 1.5-litre turbo petrol unit, the humble 1.0-litre unit tends to get overlooked. That was the case with the Taigun and certainly is the case with the Virtus as well, but there are several advantages to this engine, especially when paired with the six-speed manual. First and foremost are the fuel efficiency numbers that you can get from this engine-gearbox combo. On a drive from Mumbai to Pune, the Virtus delivered 17 kmpl. For a turbo petrol engine, that is a number that's hard to wrap your head around, especially when you consider all the traffic that a MumbaiPune drive takes you through.
