    Value for Money

    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior

    The looks of a car are very subjective and to each his own but I really like the simple and understated design. Looks good with upsized wheels and tyre.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    The earlier versions were pretty basic on features but were all what we needed. Very very very chilling Air Con. Cools the cabin in minutes and is really powerful.

    Space is adequate for 4 adults. Five is a squeeze but comfortable for short journeys. Boot space is more than enough for the weekend getaway luggage. 

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    Its a rocket !!!! I love this engine inspite of the evident turbo lag which is really easy to get used to specially in city driving. Will not bother you ever.

    For an engine of 110Bhp the fuel economy is quite good. City driving will give you between 12 and 14 kmpl while highway cruising give 16 to 18 kmpl.

    Gearbox is a bit of a letdown. Its a bit rough and needs a bit of work to shift from 3rd to 2nd gear but easy to get used to.

     

    Ride Quality & Handling

    Ride is soft. A bit too soft. Gets bouncy on bad roads but is comfortable on smooth tarmac. Handling is the biggest letdown. The steering is very light for highway use and does not give confidence or does justice to the engine.

    Final Words

    Even after some small cons here and there ( which car does not have them ? ) it is a very value for money and fun to own vehicle. Will not disappoint you specially with loads of features on newer and higher variants.

    Areas of improvement  

    Handling,

    Airbags should be given as options atleast,

    ABS should be standard on all variants.

    Powerful Engine, Interior Space, Comfortable Seats, Hyundai's cost effective service and spares.Gearbox, Vague and light steering feel specially on highway, soft suspension, no airbags
