Most of the variants now come with an option for automatic transmission. It comes within segment ground clearance. Multi-drive modes are now available from mid-variants.
Cons	No MT option available with the 1.5 TSI No Diesel engine on offer Reliability issues of the DQ 200 Dual Clutch transmission	Not everyone may like the Creta's design language The soft suspension may not provide much comfort for the rear passenger The turbo petrol engine option is available with DCT only and comes with a high price tag Automatic transmission is limited to a few variants Certain variants come with a higher price tag, and you can find larger SUVs within the same price range	The base variant offers decent equipment, but mid-variants lack some features.

  The car is very good and quite interesting to drive. I’ve really enjoyed owning it. However, due to my health and body structure, the Virtus feels a bit low in height and isn't as comfortable for me personally. That’s the only reason I’ve decided to sell it. Otherwise, it’s a great car in every other way.

  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.
