    DRIVING:
    I have seen the i20 Magna today at Laxmi Hyundai Hyderabad. From outside the exterior is really different and looks good. You will love it at first sight. In the 6-7L group there are at present three cars (as I know), Swift zxi, i20 Asta, Fabia 1.2 classic. Swift zxi is having all in it except the boot space. Fabia and i20 both are having good boot space and style. Fabia is more or less looks like Swift but have tons of steel in it, you will fill that your are in a secured cabin and will required force to handle the door even but in features it is not in comparison with even Swift. i20 is stylish and with all feature in it. shut all the door and windows you will not feel the engine is running, My only doubt, is the 1198cc Kapa engine will be sufficient to power this vehicle? At Hyderabad this vehicle lunched today, yet to get a vehicle to test ride. I am planning to go with i20 after a test ride in Asta, later on you will find all tech detail of the vehicle if I own one. I have a test drive on a Magna version, after closing all doors and windows the sound of the engine is not hard inside the cabin. Ride is smooth and steering is responsive. The engine is good and there is decent pick-up. The engine mounting is good which will obviously reduce the vibration level to provide a smooth ride. The car is stable too. I felt the AC is low in its performance, as it is in Santro or other Hyundai hatch backs. Swift AC out performer in this segment. I felt a huge legroom at the front of the car. I am being a tall person felt a bit uncomfortable reach to the clutch, brake and accelerator pedal when pushing back the seat and pulling the telescopic steering towards its front. Price is not that high if you compare to all features. Swift zxi on road price at Hyderabad is 5,80,000/- and i20 Asta at 6,30,000/-. The most disadvantage of Swift is its boot space and the quality of plastic material used. Considering that the i20 Asta’s good price should have been maximum 20 to 30 K more than swift zxi. Overall experience is good. At present price tag the car is not a bargain but at the same time not a bad one too. At Hyderabad the Hyundai sales person are a bit apathetic or the company itself may be not providing enough resource to its Dealers! I still am waiting for a view of Asta.Good Style, different look than boxes, good boot space, good engineAC, Price is more by 25K
