"Got the 1.0 TSI version last year, and its been smooth ever since. The engine feels peppy, and the gearbox is light in city traffic. The build is sturdy; doors close with a proper thud. Could have used wireless charging, but not a dealbreaker. The cabin feels more spacious than you can't guess."
"I picked it over the City mainly for the styling, and I don’t regret it. Looks sharp and comes loaded with features that actually matter. Cruise control, rear AC, and the digital cluster are all nice to have. Mileage could be better, but no complaints otherwise."
"I went for the 1.5 DSG, and while it drives like a dream, the service guy told me DSG repairs are expensive. Drives great, super smooth and responsive, but just hoping nothing major breaks anytime soon. Otherwise, very happy."
"Not many people talk about the Slavia, but it is a solid car. Better finish than most rivals and a real driver's car too. The AC is strong, visibility is good, and even tall folks sit easily in the back. The brand image isn’t as strong, but the product delivers."
"Highway drives are where this car shines, very stable at 100+. But in daily city traffic, it feels stiff over speed breakers. I like the steering feedback and the classy exterior design, though. Not a fan of the glossy interior bits; too many smudges."
"The driving posture is spot-on, and the car feels like a segment above, especially inside. Plenty of legroom at the back. I have had no major issues so far, just wish the touchscreen was quicker. The sound system is surprisingly decent, though."
"Took a Pune-Goa trip, and the seats stayed comfortable the whole way. Road noise is well contained too. The Boot space and door quality is solid. The only thing is that the screen hangs sometimes, especially with Android Auto. Still, for the price, it's a proper sedan experience."
"Comfort, looks, ride, everything is on point. But the infotainment lags a bit, and Bluetooth acts weird sometimes. Still, no regrets. It feels safe, spacious, and way more premium than the Maruti I upgraded from."
Both are mechanically similar; Slavia has a more premium design, while Virtus feels sportier.
