Verna 1.6CRDI SX - After driving for 16 months

Exterior Superb looks compared to Vento,SX4,Ford Fiesta,City or any similar size car

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All features are good, but definitely requires rear AC vent, bcoz its too hot for rear pax.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good pickup and speed. Very bad mileage,I repeatedly checked Full tank to Full tank on city drive with A/c it gives only 11Km per litre - Advertisement misleading!

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth power steering and shock absorbers. I have Spinal Cord,Neck & Back problems,but this car is really good compared to Vento & other similar size cars. 

Final Words Every one wants good mileage. Verna needs a huge improvement in mileage

Areas of improvement  

# Rear Aircondition vent required badly

# Rear view mirror fixed to wind shield is poor idea. Change mounting position. In my car the mirror fell hanging breaking from the pasting chipping the wind shield glass.

# To improve the windshield quality.

# Driver seat adjustment - when we turn the knob to increase height, the front portion raises not the rear portion. This technology is poor.

# Clearance height to be increased. This is India!

Excellent style,Features superb,Smooth steering & Shocks,Value for money11Kmpl in city -Poor mileage,never improved after servicing,Low clearance-Not good for Indian Road.
