I am confused between the Hyundai Verna 1.5 DCT and the VW Virtus 1.5 DSG. My budget is Rs 20 lakh (a limit of the corporate lease program). I like the Virtus better for its looks and driving dynamics, but it is a few lakhs over my limit. The Verna, on the other hand, has better features and fit and finish quality. I drive around 500km a month and prefer driving enthusiastically.

Autocar India says: If you like to drive, then go for the Virtus as it is a far more engaging and entertaining car to drive than the Verna. The 1.5 TSI and 7-speed DSG combo is a joy on an open road and the handling, too, is more precise and sorted than the Verna’s. Yes, the Verna has more features but the Virtus has the basics covered and is fairly well equipped, too.
