Feel the Monster!

I was planning to purchase a good diesel sedan between the price range of  8-12 Lakh. My requirements were on good comfort, pickup and mileage. I had zeroed on Scorpio Mhawk, Fiesta and Verna. I had test driven Scorpio first and i was totally disappointed by the cheap looking interiors and the additional 2 lakh for the new engine did'nt give any justice for the vehicle. As for Fiesta, my dad already owns it. As for Verna, i just hated it right from the day of its release. But anyway i decided to go for a test drive and i had requested Talwar Mobiles, secunderabad for a test drive.

I had taken a test drive on a empty highway along with 3 friends sitting at the back and the executive next to me in the front. I just started to drive the vehicle and when the RPM touched 2k, i could feel the car rising like a horse before galloping. My heart skipped a beat for a moment. I had driven so many vehicles and not this type! The car just did'nt complain about the number of people sitting inside and instead took off as if there was just 1 person inside.

The AC was excellent, the steering movement was really smooth and so was the feather touch gear and i could feel that i was on a cloud for a moment. Now i came to know why Verna has the caption "Feel it"! From then on i am head over heels for the vehicle. I have started to admire every Verna i see on the road.

The only problem with Verna is that Hyundai does not offer good colours. Real Earth, Dynasty red and Bright Silver were somewhat better. I had to choose Sky blue as i was little keen on astrology. Currently i have placed an order for VGT SX Crdi with ABS and on road price came to Rs.9,29,300 at Hyderabad and expecting to receive in another couple of days.

To compare Verna with Fiesta, the former scores more on mileage and comfort, while Verna scores more on pickup and looks. Fiesta is bit bulkier, while Verna is sleek.

Also Hyundai has already established itself at the 2nd spot in terms of Authorised Centres across India. Even the spares are reasonable after Maruthi.

My advice, Verna is not for weak hearts and budget consicious people, while others - Feel it and enjoy it!

Do you know? Getz diesel car has the same verna's diesel engine inside the hood! Wonder how the light car will stay on the road with 110ps power on the engine!
