shekjsk congrats on another VAG

Mats - i suggest noodle diy mats or 3D max spider.
PlS get extended warranty but if u feel daring try an exhaust on the car! It sounds wierdly nice.

I read brakes are stronger cause of some xds setting done for the AT cars. But generally also dont AT cars of the same model have sharper braking so they can counter the impossibility of gear braking ? Can someone explain ?

And once again congrats

Thanks a lot sir. Yes i have opted for extended warranty. The current rates are exactly the same as posted by you. Thanks for that superb piece of information.

The OTR for Vento TSI in U.P comes to around 12,17,000 (This does not include extended warranty)
After the discounts the final OTR i got is 11,50,000
As the MY 16 comes with a incremented price of 42000 Rs I made a total saving of 67000+42000=109000 Rs

I did check the VIN no of the vehicle. It is a Dec 2015 manufactured model (40 days old as per form 22) and the model year is 2016. Also did the PDI at the dealer stockyard. the car has run 19kms to date.

Thanks bro. Although I did not want to get another VAG car but the addiction after driving Rapid for 4 years is so strong that cant help it.
The problem with 3D mats is that I am not able to find a model specifically for AT variant. The ones for MT variants dont have provisioning for dead pedal. In case you know any online store that sells them for AT variant then please do let me know.

The brembo slotted rotors are shitty. and its a 50% chance you get a good set.

Did it make any difference in braking.

Also as u r using Hankook tyres what's ur review about them. I am specifically looking for silent tyres. Also will an upsize to 205 has any adverse effect on suspension.

I will say get Conti MC5 over the hankook ( eventhough im using hankook myself )

205 effect on suspension , not really sure. The ride did become a little stiffer with the hankook but grip was way better.

Ideally it should have no effect on Suspension. Infact, you'll be having slight increased Sidewall when upgrading to 205/55/15.

Hankook V8 have harsh ride, loads of noise and decent grip levels. Haven't tried MC5 myself, but i am hearing they are much quieter tyres in comparison.
