   I am interested in buying Optra Magnum Petrol LT version. I just loved the interiors and the handling was also pretty impressive. Any Cons that anyone would like to update me about....

   hey guys sorry for being so late to reply never checked back at this site,i would recommed the magnum over the skoda (we also have a skoda laura and the magnum is way more powerful and much much more comfortable that the skoda)
   only weak point of magnum is the FE gives me 10 in the city and 12 to 13 on highway but roads are pretty bad in mangalore right now so that may be the reason
   otherwise just go ahead and buy the magnum

   if optra magnum gives 10-13 in city and skoda oct gives 13-15 in city then in long run or about 5-6 yrs of run which car would be economical as i drive 100kms a day
   i am really confused

   in the long run the magnum will be more economical cause it will be much cheaper to service and maintain

    some of my friends have the previous optra and they dont have any complaints on GM the car has a 2 year warranty so i cant comment on it till the warranty is over anyway my car has finished the first service at 5k and mileage has increased by 1.5 kpl so far no problems except for the horn and i am very happy with the car
    also there is no vibration or sound inside the car and no rattles yet

    Well elantra is no longer in production and the next variant of elantra which will be coming with better features is i30 but that is still 5 to 6 months away from hitting the roads. next one year this car will be the top among all others
