    Some people call it pocket rocket, I just simply call it the VERNA.

    Exterior Have gotten used to the looks and now she looks good.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very adequate for 5 adults in comfort.

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is the best aspect of this car. I have had the car for four years now and the performacecn has been up to the mark till date. People have been talking about the turbo lag but for me I personally don't feel it is that bad at all. Moreover it is goodfor me as you have better control of the car at slow speeds / prior to 1800 RPM but once it is past 1800 RPM there is no car in this segment that can beat a verna. I have had a flat out run with a Laura and Octavia but these cars disapeared in the rearview mirrer faster than a blink of an eye. Fuel average is good as well and I have been getting 14+ in city with AC and in Delhi summers. The best was my trip to Shimla where I topped up in Delhi and refilled her on arrival Shimla and calculated the milage to 19.6 Kmpl. With this kind of performance and milage who wants anything else. Maintenance wise I have not spent a single money over the normal service cost which now comes close to Rs.8000 per 10,000 Km. Overall I would say that I am very satisfied and happy with this car and am waiting for the new Verna for my next car.

     

    Ride Quality & Handling Not a strong point of a Verna but managable. The car is a bit bouncy at low speeds but takes the undulations of the road well at high speeds. There is no feedback from the steering and at high speeds it is scary to say the least. Although I have driven the car at 185Km/hr, not that I generally do it but just to get the feel of the car. I must say I was scared to be in Verna at that speed. She is capable to do those kinds of speeds but does not inspire confidence to take her to those speeds.

     

    Final Words I personally like performance from my car and that's what made me choose Verna. I would recomend it to all who like a performance car.

     

    Areas of improvement Ride and handling. Steeing feel. Suspension. Some more equipment as standard.

     

    Milage - 14Kmpl constantly in city (Varies between 14 to 16 with AC in city). Best 19.6 on Highway.Unsettling at high speeds and steering has no feedback and feels very light at speeds.
