Almost perfect. Featured loaded but with a few silly misses. The DCT & price just got me to book

Just booked the Venue SX+ DCT version after a lot of thought & a series of visits across showrooms & test-drives. As a package - the car is near perfect I would say with a few very silly misses by Hyundai. I had to choose between the EcoSport vs Venue & we settled on this car. And it has always been a tough choice. Styling: I do prefer the rear of the EcoSport since it looks more SUV like compared to the hachback look of the Venue. Venue does look more modern in its own stride. Ground clearance is 10mm less than EcoSport (200mm) Venue (190mm). Features: Its loaded but with a few silly omissions. Overall its is more feature loaded than ecosport. Lack of an arm rest in the rear & the 60:40 split sears in the rear are silly cost cutting omissions. However Safety: This is where I feel Hyundai is missing out. Their flaghsip model is missing the side curtain airbags & more importantly the rear wiper & washed. IMO - of all the tradeoffs I mide between ecoport & Venue, the rear wiper is perhaps the biggest gripe/disappointment. I mean how much does it cost more to put a rear wiper on a compact SUV/hatch? The rear glass gets mucked up quickly when it rains, & the rear wiper is a life saver. There is little to write about mileage from the 1.0 turbo petrol mill. Friends who got the manual SX(o) claim to get 10-12 in the city. I suspect the DCT will be more towards 10kmpl. Smaller engines are not so frugal when driven quickly or under load. However I expect due to the 7th gear on the DCT, cuising on highway will over good mileage compared to the 6 speed manual. Most new buyers (not all) who are claiming mileage at the moment is not presenting a full picture. Simply since the mileage improves with the run in of the engine over first & second service. There is hope here - Kia just launched Seltos with 1.4 GDi petrol with 7 speed DCT. Expect that mill to power the new Creta. Expect this 1.0 GDi to power more Hyundai & Kia compact segment cars in the near future - especially due to the new Euro6 & Bharat 6 norms. THis is another reason I was leaning towards the Venue 1.0 compared to the older 1.5L mill on the EcoSport. Even Ford offers their flagship 1.0 EcoBoost with their top car in manual which produces similar power to the Hyundai's 1.0 Turbo. Overall - I am happy to stick with the choice of Venue 1.0 DCT however I will always continue to crib about the rear wiper being missed.
