    PART- II

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is brilliant, silent and smooth and the is also great. The best part is like about the engine is that it has great variation time between gears, so in a city drive I would not need to change gears frequently. I can run from 20 to 60 kmph on 3rd gear itself when needed.

    Also the best part is the fuel economy, if u put on the ECO mode ON, they engine would crave for 3rd or 4th gear as soon as u pick up, ending with great fuel efficiency of around 14.5 to 16 kmpl in city. On the highway, it returned me with 18 to 19 kmpl.

    Ride Quality & Handling If I had to complain one thing about the verna, then Its the ride on the highway. As soon as you zoom past 90 kmph, u start to feel that boat like feeling, or u are unsettled constantly on u r seat and loose all confidence of revving it up. U need to constantly look for any sudden low patches on the road as u and especially the back seat passengers would go up for a toss... literally. I know that this problem is pecific to verna because I have driven on highways on the innova, corolla. In the city drive u wouldnt get such probs as u rarely go on for long stretches at high speeds.

    I heard the new vernas are better tuned for stiffer suspension, but i dont know how far it has worked. I hope that hyundai would immediately correct this flaw and the product truly impeccable and also recall its existing pieces and earn customer loyalty.

    Final Words I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who drives his own car rather than chauffer driven and has few highway trips and more of city drive.

    Also since the petrol and diesel prices are about to be even in about 2 yrs time, I sugesst you can go in for the petrol verna which is a lakh cheaper.

    Areas of improvement Suspension, suspension, suspension. Later on, I put on seat covers for 5500 rs, new head lamps 100/90 w than the standars 60/55 w, new skoda styled horn and central locking system. Teflon coating and mudguards, floor mats were provided by hyundai for free.

    Great engine, pickup, style and tons of featuresSuspension, back seat comfort
