I have taken the test drive of this car. Presently i drive a aveo uva. First thing that strikes as you see it from outside is aggressive yet cool looks. Its got a bold presense. Enter inside from the key onwards oh its hitech. Tilt - telescopic steering, electric mirrors, fully automatic climate control ac, usb-i pod music system ,ABS with EBD , Airbags , So many displays etc etc... Interiors are very well laid and appointed. Big boot and spacious interiors. High quality plastic and great design.


Turn it on engine is silent and responsive. What i liked the most is steering with all controls. Its impressively light making cutting cornering and handling very precise . The motion is spiritted with smooth gear shifts slick and short.


What i can conclude is that it may not be correct to draw it to competition with swift, uva getz . Infact it does matches with fabia and would compete with Honda jazz etc.


Inshort if we are planning for a sedan then it points us wait you want a car with a 400 litre boot or a compact yet spacious car like me with tech specs , safety kit and sedan like build quality. In other words for 6-6.5 lakhs you go for a booted car or a car which is hatch but similar to sedan build and technically superior and safe. Much better value for money.


Does makes sense in today's congested cities where road space, safety , parking etc is a big concern.


Only thing that was definetly expected was the 1.4 deisel unit that Hyundai offers in other markets.
