INDULGE IN THE SEDAN-IGANS

The Volkswagen Virtus has not just helped the sedan flame stay alive but has now got it burning bright. What makes this car the go-to sedan? We answer all the questions

ASK ANY CHILD TO draw a car and they would default to a three-box sedan. Yes, the sedan was the preferred car body-style for many decades and that aspiration and desire still beats in the hearts of many today. While many would now draw a boxier car, for obvious reasons, there is still hope for sedan-kind and here's why.

A sedan makes a statement. It says you know what you want and that you like to drive. Leave the crossover sport utility vehicles (SUV) for the masses-those cars don't know what they are and are made for people who don't know what they want. A sedan sits low. It looks cool. It packs good power and is engaging and a lot of fun to drive. It brings a smile to the driver's face each time and it feels involving and offers a thrill that few, if any other body-styles at all, can match. And we ought to be thankful that they are still alive and kicking.

Why the Virtus?
