  The Volkswagen Virtus is a great car that I truly love driving. It offers full safety, top-notch paint quality, and comes with low maintenance at a good price point. The German technology stands out, and the TSI engine delivers smooth and powerful performance. While the petrol engine is excellent, I do miss the older Indian VW diesel engines. Overall, it's a stylish, reliable, and high-quality sedan.
