2018 Volkswagen Vento 1.2 Turbo Full In Depth Review | EvoMalaysia.com

[@gzc9394]

Got my Vento 1.2 Tsi today, other than brake pedal that located freaking high, the drive is just pure WOW for a B-segment car. Thanks to Honda City which I initially planning to buy is out of stock, I manage to buy a better car to drive 😁

[@ZaliLex]

What was your feedback for tour past experience owning this car? I am planning to buy one as my second car. The price is a bargain now

[@micthy]

I was the silver vento you talked bout few weeks back during the kuala klawang drive. This vento is really an amazing for such drive.

[@younghans2328]

HEAR ME OUT.. for those who have doubt over VW badge, try for a TEST DRIVE! I end up own this car, and NEVER look back. Its jst how the German car build. Dont be fool by the Interior, I straight amazed on how can something soo simple on paper and pic, felt so SOLID? When u enter, ull immediately feel cacoon and founded, thats how solid German Car is. My family owned, ViOS, Myvi, Saga.. so Im sure im not ranting aimlessly here. When u test drive this Unit, comparing this to ViOS, City, Persona (aside Mazda) is not justice, they dont come even near, insult almost 👻 YES the maintenance is expensive, but its ONLY every 15K for normal service and 60K for Major. With the ride quality and superior cabin build - saving aside RM 100/Month on top of your commitment would MORE than enough. Be responsible to your car and your car would be more responsive to you..ITS A SACRED relationship, uphold it! So for those who is scared in committing to TSi Engine.. always can go for MPi Engine for peace of mind 🤴🏻

[@danielthw123]

I drive a Polo 1.2 TSI into the 6th year of ownership while most of my peers have ditched their VWs. The sharp looking exterior, impressive driving dynamics, rock solid build quality, excellent refinement and premium material choices in the cabin still puts a smile on my face.

[@francisho3056]

Daniel Tan what was the main reason they ditched their VW?

[@danielthw123]

DSG failure. I was not exempt from this issue but all is well after the clutch pack replacement at no cost. Gear shifts are smoother now. 😁

[@mohammadmahathir4574]

Daniel Tan . which sc vw do you go for theclutch pack replacement? very rare to heard owning vw beyond 3-5yrs. lucky

[@danielthw123]

Mohammad Mahathir Federal Auto, Glenmarie. Anyway, they have extended the gearbox warranty by another 2 years on top of the pre-existing 5. Hung on to the car because it is still awesome on the move. Interior holding up really well. No rattling whatsoever.

[@kosekidk854]

Just wondering,still own your Polo 1.2TSI?

[@ngyc6294]

Vento or Polo Sedan, 1.2 TSI or 1.6 MPI, they join the same ranks as the Fiesta and Mazda 2 in the driving department - simply marvelous for those that enjoy driving. Even back when they were CBU from India with Apollo tires and without arm rest or rear AC vents, this is one of those very few sub-RM100K cars I've driven that I could confidently corner harder and plough thru urban road imperfections and speed humps without upsetting the chassis nor suspension. It's just a pity that a majority of buyers of this segment prioritizes practicality and space (and partly by VW's hazy DSG mechatronic history back then) than pure driving fun. A definite compact city run about.

[@pauljaa4719]

It's a pity but then again driving fast isn't everyone's cup of tea. Many buy cars to live with it. Obviously, practicality and space rank highest, for most people.

[@davidletterboyz]

I'm not sure about the 1.2 TSI, but the 1.6 MPI handling is not as good as the Mazda 2. The 1.2 TSI rear absorbers are harder than 1.6 MPI.

[@yihtorng]

Current DSG for Vento still dry type, it is reliable?

[@shahzweinramakrishnan8171]

I dropped this car for the city for the same reason many do which is practicality and spec. But deep down inside I know what Bobby has to say is true as I test drove Vento and felt that instant satisfaction with the driving experience.

[@puteramalaya6457]

Shame typical minded

[@encikrahim8475]

At last the one car that i wanted and waited to be reviewed .thanks bobby

[@heyayran]

Not just better handling, drive & performance...heck the suspension is amazingly comfortable!

[@sizzer33]

The saga and Almera on the right lane is so spot on. Sometimes theyre just trying to overtake slower cars and if you're driving at 160, don't tailgate them and let them get back to their lane safely.

[@miniipad7214]

Well said~ TSI + DSG is perfect for FUN drive :)

[@DanielsJournal85]

The new vento 1.2TSI now comes with CPC(conti premium contact) 215/45/16 tires n has Bluetooth connectivity, android auto n apple car.

[@nfssteve828]

Pro: Body rigidity of this VW is better than most of the Japanese's car (same class). Cons: Fuel consumption ( That's why using 1.2cc + low turbo, for more torque)

[@kennethk7637]

Thanks for the honest opinion I think its really true since i own a honda city hybrid and have some friends who owns a passat and a jetta and those cars really packs a punch when the Turbo kicks in. plus the transmission on VW is really smooth

[@poovaneswaransupramaniam6706]

cool review dude... agree with you man.. the vento highline is a super cool car to drive

[@jimmylim85]

The real reason this Vento has its buyer thanks to the DSG and good torque power where it gives you very good acceleration. Conti can made good handling cars and sturdy than B segment Japanese does.

[@kcaquatics]

Totally agree with you on the driving dynamics of continental cars vs asian cars. I'll never go back ever since I've switched to conti.

[@kay1208]

KC Aquatics high five, once conti forever conti

[@dexteryzz]

Thanks for the video.. I recently ordered the new vento 1.2 tsi join version.. it's a major upgrade from saga blm 1.3 and hopefully this car can give driving pleasure to me

I actually went for a test drive eg. 1.2 Tsi, Impressed! Now kept thinking of sell off my beloved City for this Champ!

[@tiadaid]

I was looking at the Vento, but VW's salesman aren't exactly proactive when I asked if they have a solution to me selling my Picanto which had RV less than loan settlement value. This was during their crazy discount promo. My Renault salesman was smarter, which meant I got a Fluence, which is a bigger car!

[@astianix]

Was racing the new Hyundai Verna petrol with 120ish bhp in this. Honestly, didn’t realize I was doing 180kmph till I looked at the odo. It is that stable! And the sound of turbo spooling is so so sweet! That Verna guy will never race a TSI ever again.

Hello Bobby! Finally you are reviewing on this. I have a little request here la. Can you do a comparison on the Proton Persona Campro VVT against it's rivals and predecessor(possibly)? 😋 thank you~

[@tiadaid]

At 93K, I don't know why VW MY can't provide an additional 2 airbags. That's a deal breaker for me

Hi Bobby! Loving your work! If you could do a review of the Cerato, that'd be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

[@PinShangPah]

Between Vento 1.2 TSI and Honda City Hybrid. Which one should I choose? Will be used more in city drive. Safety is the main concern Thanks

[@mahmaw7]

Pah Pin Shang VW Vento 1.2 TSI😎👍🏻

[@kevinloh357]

I have test driven the Honda hybrid and the vento definitely delivers a better drive. The reinforcements of the vento is better appointed compared to the Honda city. Depends how you define safety. In an event of a crash, I would place my bets on vento surviving anytime.

[@terryeunice128]

Hi Bobby. I test drove this car before and I totally agree this car is way better handling than a vios and on paper this car power is not that impressive but the power is so immediate and bobby please refresh review Jetta as well.

[@HoHo-we4gw]

Agree, Jetta review please

[@kevinloh357]

Bobby, what are your European car maintenance intervals like ? VW suggests every 15k or 1 year but when do you recommend changing the fluids ? 15k seems like an awfully long time to drag the change.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

If you dont do hard driving at all, 15,000 is fine. If you want your car to always run on fresh oil of course you can but it will be a bit wasteful if you're the kind that drives smooth and slow. If you often go for drives, touge, hard acceleration, 5-6k would be good to maintain your oil in good lubricance. As for gear oil, i dont buy that bullshit lifetime thingy bmw tells. I change them every 40k ... some people may tell you changing gear oil will damage the car, that is only true to certain extent if the car have had particles stuck in the transmission, and changing the oil or flushing might result in particles being dislodged from where they were and then becoming stuck in some places resulting in the transmission not functioning well

[@kevinloh357]

Bobby Ang ok I definitely do have instances whereby I drive it fast, but in KL traffic conditions it’s quite unlikely it will be too fast as well. I have also heard that for direct injection engines carbon blasting should be done every 40-50k mileage as well. Reason why I asked is cause I am on the road pretty often and I would like to do more preventive maintenance than to actually wait for something to falter and then only go fix it. Thank you for the helpful info. Gotta love your honest reviews!

[@livclw040589]

Great review! A lot of detail there especially about the break pedal. I have no idea why but I think your reviews are always better at that mosquito base lol Btw, how about the Mazda 2 compare with this?

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Mazda has a higher quality interior, prettier upmarket design, weaker (but way more efficient) drivetrain, and handles maybe slightly better.

[@vincentlee5523]

It's definitely a great car!

Hi Bobby, just want to confirm, 1.2 TSi & the seat is fabric? Which means only Vento 1.6 own Leather seat? Beside that any different within this 2 segment?

hi bobby, can you make review on a3 sedan. non latest model also alright. thanks!

[@alroslee6931]

Hows the safety rating of this car compared to cars like vios or city?

[@aqilmustaqim1078]

Hello Bobby, do you think the handling of vento 1.6 mpi is same as the vento 1.2?

[@pauljaa4719]

I'll answer. About the same. But ride is a tad firmer on the TSI version due to larger rims fitted (hence thinner sidewall). Grip is better on TSI version due to much wider tyres (215 vs 185). MPI version is more comfortable and TSI version is better at handling.

[@astianix]

180 TSI rear badging? Is it any different from the 1.2 TSI sold in India?

Hi, nice review. Mind to compare this car with Peugeot 208 puretech with 1.2 turbo engine as well? Thanks bobby

Driving this 1.2 vento for one year and decided to swap the tyres to PS4 few months ago. The stock tyres was quite harsh and noisy for me.of course the conti feel is nothing to shout if u compare it with other germans (audi,bmw,merc) but with the price honestly an awesome ride with the ps4..DSG is much more smoother than previous generations and it is still now. I have tested the previous dq200 and there were not smooth as the latest gen. Hope vw has put those dsg issues in the past.

[@mohammadmahathir4574]

hi saad. really have different from previous gen? but as i informed by sa vw n websites, it is still the same 7speed dry clutch? vw did anythin? hard evidence is any?

Is a really great car. For the price and within the same segment compare to other brands, is a good buy. Power and handling no doubt beats the Japanese. Sadly i totaled it, but i wouldn’t mind getting another one.

[@bryanjschang]

Same seating position problem for new saga, worse still there's no telescopic steering wheel

[@asyraff09]

how is this compared to the local hero, iriz based proton persona?

[@faris.R56]

Asyraff Z. M. Yusoff would love to hear that also... As the Iriz really good in handling but still want to know if comparable to Polo Vento or not.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Proton always had good handling for its price in Malaysia. But weak engine and transmission. And if in global open markets, Proton will definitely be expensive for its low volume of production. And if priced similarly in an open market, the Peugeot 208 Puretech eats both Polo or Proton for performance and handling.

[@faris.R56]

Bobby Ang agreed with you Bobby... Proton should upgrade their engine and gearbox ASAP

[@davidletterboyz]

Asyraff Z. M. Yusoff I had driven the Persona VVT before. I used to own a Persona Elegance. Now I'm driving the Vento MPI. My take is, the main issue with Persona VVT is the electrical assisted steering wheel, feels too light. The handling in terms of body roll is better than Honda City, but nowhere near as good as the old Elegance. VW Vento has a better corner entry stability and lesser body roll. But mid corner onwards, Persona Elegance is much better. Another major gripe with the Persona VVT is the Punch CVT, especially when you need to move away from a static position. Don't floor it because it will jerk.

[@mahmaw7]

Asyraff Z. M. Yusoff my frenz Iriz locked the steering while reversed 😰

go have a drive bro. anyways, i drove the city spec v. at 160-170, my balls shrunked..

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Out of all B segments, two are obviously king of practicality - Vios/City. The other four handles really well: Polo/Vento, Mazda 2, Fiesta, Peugeot 208. Out of these four with great handling, only Mazda has a reputable after sales service. If it's upmarket premium design, only Mazda 2 and Peugeot 208 looks beautiful and upmarket. Vento and Peugeot 208 has the power to outgun cars a class above, while Mazda 2 and Fiesta would be the handling kings. Fiesta has an interior that's perhaps one level below Protons even. At the end, if you want a sedan: handling and power: Vento practicality: City If you want hatchbacks: handling and power: Polo/208 practicality: Jazz Aftersales service: Vios / Mazda 2 You don't mind reliability, aftersales, RV just want driving enjoyment: 1. Peugeot 208 2. Volkswagen Polo/Vento 3. Fiesta 4. Mazda

Not really bro. The problem is that the difference between the throttle pedal & brake pedal level. Its like a giant step if u wanna alternate your right leg between the two. It is so tiring to move your foot & ankle left. If u own or driven one you will know. Even small ppl will complain because their foot is smaller, hence they have to make even more movement relative to their size. If u familiar with saga flx u will know what i meant

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Thanks, havent driven them.

[@shafiqhashim91]

Tried this before, reason I didn’t go for it was rather simple It needs to be driven hard to feel the liveliness. In normal day-to-day driving it feels quite lethargic Honda City on the hand feels sprightly in town, but runs out of breath quite quickly on the highway. Oh and bobby, sorry, the only thing premium about this car is the badge and maintenance cost.

[@pauljaa4719]

Well, obviously, a Honda City is the car for YOU. Not for the rest of us, though. Don't overgeneralise things.

[@shafiqhashim91]

Fhaizal Harith umm, sorry, but i was indeed giving out my opinion on the car I didn’t say anything about others not to get the car. Learn to read, and re-read. I didn’t like it, and based on your comment, you do. Just because someone has a different opinion than you, it’s not “overgeneralising “ Oh are you displeased with my maintenance/premium remark? I didn’t say anything about VWs, I just said this car in particular. Again, this was my opinion during my decision to purchase a B-seg a few months back

[@pauljaa4719]

Lol u went triggered on many levels due to my simple remark. That's saying something isn't it? Hahaha joking. Yep I got very clearly its ur personal opinion & I don't have any meat about it. Overgeneralisation was on the last remark. The way u write it does not seem very critical and specific to the Vento. Why? Coz u said "badge". That is subtly saying that "VW, this Vento of yours got nothing premium except your badge and its maintenance costs". That's overgeneralisation. Coz VW isn't a premium brand and they'll be the first to admit it. They try to look premium though on any economically-sound aspect like fitting more expensive leather material on the more expensive models. Netizens who read your last remark may get a misleading idea about VW's proposition on its Vento. Vento isn't a premium car and it doesn't pretend to be one. Maybe the new Passat does pretend to be an Audi. Expensive maintenance yes sure but we know TSI engine is more advanced than normal n/a in City, for instance. What is "premium" with Vento are its ride and handling demeanor, NVH & solid build quality. Vento does accelerate and handle like a bigger car, NVH among the best in its class & build quality that lasts a decade. This is an aspect of Vento's "premiumness" Bobby was trying to say, as does many other car reviewers. You don't see these things so that's why u don't like it when side-by-side with City. That's why I said clearly the City was designed for someone like you. The City is your match from the beginning, not Vento. If u bought Vento then I'd say u've bought the wrong car for yourself. Also, the way u said "Oh and bobby, sorry," also mildly implying that Bobby's idea of premiumness is a tad off, even though I think he has sampled way more cars than u ever do. Yep u tried to be personal, I know, but I think the way u write it maybe can be improved a bit so that u don't sound 'holier than thou'. For instance, "oh sorry bobby, in my opinion, the only thing was premium about this car is the badge...and maintenance cost." That way, u will sound critically personal and readers will readily admit your tendency of not liking the Vento. Personal critics are fine brother but its better to have some appropriate "weight" to your words. Sorry word directly followed by a comma can mean a firm disagreement. Comma can also mean "but" in a sentence. Why? I know lar aa. Got a lowly degree in English. Read and studied tons of English sentences in order to complete my 5 1/2 years of studying the lingua franca. Hehehe no boast, just a remark for my "inability to read and re-read".

How is this compared to the new vios G spec 2019?

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

I havent driven it but specs alone already makes this loose very far ... immediately felt like previous gen car

[@keshinkabilnair4049]

@@BobbyAngmalaysia Ahh okay could you please drive it and let us know then and also in terms of driving pleasure and all which would be better?

[@davidletterboyz]

8:40 This is my main gripe with Vento. Not sure why the brake pedal is so fking high. It's a lot higher than other VW.

[@rogerrabbit2902]

Same thing when I drove my dad's Passat, it makes the braking uncomfortable for me. I need to get used to the braking on that car

[@davidletterboyz]

@@rogerrabbit2902 Are you sure the Passat is same? Because the Jetta was fine. The brake pedal is higher but not as high as the Vento.

[@royalprince5878]
