completely agree with him on the love for manuals..

Got the MT GT last Nov and I'm totally in love with it. The manual transmission is not just for the enthusiast (which I am) but it is good for the economy too. If you know when to up shift and stuff, you can get way better economy compared to the DSG. I also have the DSG GT Taigun, which isn't that economical because it upshifts when you are close to 2k rpm and this doesn't let the two cylinder deactivation to kick in. But if you have the manual you can control this and thus get a better economy. If you are someone who loves the manual experience on the highway and hills but still wants good economy from a car in this segment, this car is a no brainer. I got the car without the electronic car seats and subwoofer because spending an extra 30k didn't make sense to me. But I think that variant is no longer available.

Same bro i got the Virtus GT MT without the electric seats because i found it too slow and there was waiting of almost 1 month and i got the GT in 19.15 lakh on road. Now the same model costs 20.24 and electric seats variants costs 20.94. Fuel efficiency in city is 10-14 my car is 70% in 2 cylinder mode. Getting better fuel economy than my MPI polo.

@luvpratapsingh2083 Just got a Virtus GT MT few days ago, I also have a an ameo mpi 1.0 which gives me around 15 kmpl in the city, but my virtus struggles to get past 10 or 11 in the city, and im hardly able to keep it in 2 cylinder mode, even a little of throttle input de activates 2 cylinder mode so I can hardly drive 10 or 15 secs in in a stretch. What is the problem, is it because of run in period or should I change my driving style, or is this the max mileage u can get on a virtus GT MT.? Someone pls answer
@luvpratapsingh20836 ай бұрын
@@morattugorilla605 bumper to bumper trafic thats the best you can get and for short distances also you can't get out avg out of that for small commutes try to use your ameo. For more than 7kms use virtus then only you will be able to get good milage the 1.5 tsi needs a bit heating this engine always cold starts you must have noticed. And in heavy traffic use the 1st gear with no accelerator just release the clutch the 250nm torque will easily glide the vehicle.

Ok okay, and btw how do I keep the 2 cylinder mode activated during drives, for me it just comes around 1.8 k rpm (that too when I'm not giving gas) and goes away at 1.6k rpm. Even a little of throttle input deactivates it, so I can hardly travel 10 or 15 secs at a stretch?@luvpratapsingh2083
