@aa78 here is my opinion and 2 cents
Have you driven Turbo to get feel of it? If so, how do you characterize the driving pleasure and benefits, if any?
the Turbo variant has awesome acceleration experience, the power surge is a very good feeling, but that's about it. I have different priorities in life and despite the fact that it tempts me a lot, I don't want to spend extra 3.5 Lakh for that acceleration. Apart from acceleration if you are driving normally the feel is exactly same. When it comes to smoothness, turning, handling and stability: you can't tell the difference. The difference can be felt when you floor it not otherwise. One more thing: the brakes on Oriel feel slightly better when you suddenly remove your foot from the flooring mode and hit them suddenly, probably because the same brake units are responsible for less and more hp+torque. Turbo should have had better brakes
Also, following:
Is CVT response lag on suddenly fully pressing accelerator in 1.5T more than 1.8NA?
Turbo has no lag and the 1.8 lags in comparison to Turbo obviously but its abrupt and a lot faster in feel if you compare it with older Prosmatecs
How much is realistic mileage difference between 1.8NA and 1.5T?
Turbo has better consumption and the difference is give or take 1.5-2.0 kmpl
Is anyone running 1.5T on 100% RON92 (Regular/Super/Supreme) fuel in stock condition without facing issues like knocking?
one of my friends suffered a cracked cylinder due to substandard poor fuel as hi-octane wasn't available in his town. So he decided what worse could happen more than knocking. And the worse did happen. The car is parked idle in Bahawalpur for a long time, with traces of lower octanes in the engine warranty has been denied and new engine is to be replaced at customer cost
Which options provided by Atlas are worth getting (3/4 year warranty, utility package, modulo (toooo expensive!!!), Navigation, Leather, Glass coating)
only and only Navigation is worth buying, their glass coat is pathetic and they do it without any preparation. Utility package is insanely expensive and the sunvisors hide chrome strip on top of both doors and let it stay visible on last quarter panel which looks odd. Better sunvisors with oem like chrome strip on top to match with last quarter glass as well are available for 1/4th price. Leather work isn't actually leather. Just 40% which is seat area that comes in body contact is leather while the rest is 6000 wala rexine everywhere else. From the market best premium grade rexine soft and plush than Atlas leather can be done in under 15k including door panels, armrests and consoles
