A good Hatchback in its segment

 

Exterior Has got good european styling as they say, looks even better with the alloys on, No compromise on aerodynamics.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) A great comfortable experiece particularly on long drives, best in class space and comfort, read window defogger would have been an advantage, no fog lamps as a standard build, though a space is provided if you want them installed.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox One of the best gear boxes I have come across, very smooth and effortless, average fuel economy, smooth engine performance but a little slugish which negotiating ever increasing humps on our Indian roads and hilly regions.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is great and so is handling though the power stearing is not as responsive at slow speeds as expected.

 

Final Words A very good car to own, owners delight, sad that Hyundai has phased it out recently but still a show stopper, not very high on maintainence, thanks to good service back up especially with Trident guys in Bangalore. A car you you can trust be it city or countryside, it makes its own mark. Lookswise much better even than the Figo's and Estilos of these days.

 

Areas of improvement Power to performene ratio, Mileage, Power Steering.

 

Good quality dual tone interiors, Goos Vinyl/plastic quality wherever used, Good leg & head roomPick up, Headlights, turning radius
