Good value for money in its segment

Some of the Pros:
* Best value for money for the price.
* 97BHp engine (on paper); has nice drivability overall
* Quite spacious in front and back. Plenty of leg-room. Boot space also quite good.
* Driving comfort is decent. Suspension works fairly well.
* Brakes are decent.
* Stock tyres are 13” Bridgestone and provide good grip and comfort, low noise.
* Fuel economy is better than expected. Engine is yet to run-in but I get > 10kmpl in city (with mixed A/C) and got approx.15kmpl in my highway drive (with mixed A/C) @ speeds 60-90kmph.
* Known to be quite reliable and problem-free.Dependable Hyundai service
* Car has adjustable headlamps, body colored mirrors and side-skirts.
* Steering gives feedback at upto moderate speeds.Have to check at high speeds.
* A/C is quite good and fast-acting in the front. Have to check at the back.
* With windows closed and A/C on, there is almost complete silence in the car. Great for enjoying music :-)

Some of the Cons:
-- Steering is heavy, though car has power steering.
-- Gearbox is notchy. 1st-2nd and 2nd- 3rd are particularly so. Quick throws are not possible and I have to change gears slowly for smooth shifts.
-- Clutch does not release smoothly. I can hear a small sound when it releases.
-- Acceleration is gentle and gradual. Stomping on the pedal doesn’t produce immediate response. Particularly with A/C on. Of course after the engine is run-in this may change.
-- Engine is not very smooth. With windows down, sound is almost as much as the Swift diesel. Again, may change after it is run-in properly.
-- Headlights are just average. Especially on the highways, I felt they are quite insufficient. Am upgrading to HID lamps.
-- Seating is low. I’m about 5’10” but when I’m reversing, the view is not confidence-inspiring. From the back of the car, more than ½ the car length is not visible while reversing. No provision to raise the seats also.
-- Rear view mirror though clear, is small and does not offer sufficient view. Even with both side mirrors setup + the rear view, the rear view coverage is not complete. As it is, I keep the left-side mirror folded to prevent it from being hit & broken.
-- Not many storage spaces in the car. Nothing at all for the passengers at the back.
-- Paint job is average. After just one wash, I can see some difference in the look. May require regular polish to maintain the exterior looking good. This includes the plastic bumpers/panels.
