i20- A perfect car in its class.

I was looking for a car with a budget of around 6-7lacs. So obviously i had swift (ZXi), Skoda Fabia (Ambient) and i20 (Asta) in my mind. First I chkd out with skoda and learned that maintaining a skoda would prove me a bit more expensive than all other cars at this range. So even without giving a second thought i dropped that from my list. I had swift in my mind. Considering it to be a 3-4yr old model i had a dilemma in my mind. I took a test drive. Believe me, the pick up is very gud in swift. But Maruti has spoilt the interiors in swift. The Integrated Audio system is as bad as it could be which has eaten up all the looks of the swift.Moreover, there is no option of connecting yr USB drive. This makes it even worse as we have to upgrade to the latest technology always. I had a doubt on Mileage as well at it is a 1298cc engine (100% AC). Just because this was not gud, i dint drop. But, this part of the interior cannot be replaced/changed so easily. i dint bother to give a tot abt VXi as this wud come without any amazing features and it wud cost me the same thing if i ad planned for an upgradation. Moreover, adding a steering mounted audio control is very dificult. Then i considered an i20 and mind you, this is best vehicle in the class that i have seen. It has everything, from well-designed interiors to good exteriors as well. The audio sys is gud, AC is better than in swift, The alloys are better than swift for better road grip and I easily went for it. The only thing that i had to compromise for was for a 1198cc engine which is about 100cc less than swift but i dint feel that low power when i took the test drive. Moreover i was looking for a better mileage as my driving is limited to city atkeast 99% of the times.i20 is designed with precision and the fit and finish of all the components (interior and exterior) is as good as it can be. And as we all know, hyundai has a lesser maintainence cost than skoda, so i finalised this and bought one as well. Interiors has a good audio player (integrated) well designed steering mounted audio controls, Central locking, tilt steering for comfort. driver seat height adjustment, electrically controlled mirrors which means both the mirrors are controlled internally with the help of switches, airbags for safety, good control on highways with ABS and EBD...the list goes on and on. I feel i20 is worth for the value of money. I dont see anything negative with is, if i find any i will update for sure. Have Fun!Style is very good. Interiors are excellent. The fit and finish of everything is absolutely perfect.People say the space is less but i dont think so. Everything seems to be in place in this.
