Hyundai surely delivered a winner! Fantastic buy!!

Exterior Simply amazing! The car has a very strong appeal and is surely a head-turner. The contours are very well defined and is a real treat to the eyes. The fog lamps with the boomerang design and the headlights similar to eagle eyes simply stand out. The bumper however is a little fragile and may even crack at the slightest of impact.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The car has all the features to have you smiling. The reverse camera, bluetooth connectivity, steering mounted controls are wonderful add-ons to the car. The reverse camera works extremely well and can perfectly guide you to where you park your car. Bluetooth conncectivity also works quite well and the voice is clear and audible to both the speaker and the listener. The look and feel is also classy as it has a touch of both wood and chrome. The biege and black interiors give a plush look to the interiors.

Audio system is simple yet quite effective. Sound quality is crystal clear when playing the CD/USB.

Leg space is quite adequate both for the front seats and the back seat. The only downside is the inadequate underthigh support for the back seats as the seats are quite small and also uncomfortable for long drives. Also, it may be a little inconvenient for someone sitting in the middle back seat as it has a slight bulge. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Read quite a few reviews on the gear box not being good. However,i did not find any such issues. The gear box is quite smooth and for someone who has driven the i20 and i10, will not find much difference while driving the verna.

Switching to the reverse gear is different unlike other cars. In verna, the driver has to press a button and move the gear upward to put it to the reverse gear.

The engine quietly revs up when you hit the pedal to the metal. The drive is quite smooth and would simply love taking the car on long drives on the highways.

The car gives a mileage of 11-13 kmpl. However since my average driving is around 18 km per day, a full tank can last close to a month.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is fantastic and all these years i have been an avid hyundai fan. My first car was a santro xing. Thereafter upgraded to i10, i20 and now verna. Never had any issue either with the engine or with the servicing. Main reason why i am not tempted to move to any other brands and wish to remain a loyalist.

An area of improvement can be the rear suspension. The car can get a little wobbly when driven on high speeds and when it hits a pothole. The suspension is a little too soft for comfort. Hyundai can improve on this and probably give it a more sturdy feet.

Final Words  There are quite a few other choices available in the market. Verna surely has competition from SX4, ford fiesta, vento and ofcourse Honda. For anybody looking to buy a car in this segment should do a test drive of all the choices and then only decide. Again  opinion may vary, but what made we go for the verna was its external appeal and interior features which I found wanting in all other models.

The mileage for all other cars may be slightly better than verna. However as stated above,  never had any issues with any of the earlier hyundai cars, hence making a decision was not really difficult.

Areas of improvement Back Seat, quality bumper and the rear suspension are the areas where hyundai can improve.
