Volkswagen Taigun vs Volkswagen Virtus: Really, it depends on how you use it. The Virtus is a nicer car to drive and has a little bit more space in the back than a Taigun if you primarily drive on calm roads where ground clearance is not an issue. It is also a better city car. The Taigun, on the other hand, is the one to choose if you frequently encounter speed bumps or drive on rough roads. Just keep in mind that the Taigun has a smaller boot and less legroom than the Virtus.
