Good spacious city car

The car looks very nice from the outside, this being top of the line model. What was most surprising discovery was the generous rear legroom in a car of this size. There are of course, the rear AC vents and rear charging port. The seats are large and give you a full thigh support. I like the large glove compartment with cooling. Music system with hands-free Bluetooth phone integration is modern although the speakers are just about okay. I like the fact I do not have to remove the key from pocket ever. I am getting addicted to this feature.

Despite being automatic, the car is zippy. It is easy to pass a truck by pressing down hard on the accelerator (down shifting). Handling is okay and feels tentative. Part of the reason could be small and narrow tires.

I have a few complaints. Foremost is that the fan is noisy even at the lowest speed. I hate fan noise, and mostly like to keep the fan at lowest speed. But in this car it is still noisy (air noise). Secondly, the seat has very little cushion. Third, the intermittent wiper does not have variable speed. Fourth, the fuel efficiency (city highway traffic) is poor. After 4 months, 4000 km it is giving about 12 kmpl. Fifth, there is no small closed compartment where one can keep some money hidden from view for toll etc. (but I like large bottle compartments in the doors). Another problematic feature is that as soon as you turn the airflow to clear foggy windows it switches on AC and the flow to outside air. Both are the most efficient way to clear the fog. I do not mind the AC, but in my NCR commute outside air means that the car gets filled with fumes or dust. I have to keep remembering to change the flow back to inside circulation, which in winter means many times in one hour commute.

I also did not like the fact the Hyundai does not have faith in their AT technology and refuse to offer third year extended warranty.

I purchased this car for availability of automatic verstion, rear AC vents.Road noise, AC fan noise, Low mileage, very low ground clearance
