    Exterior It looks nice.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is good and that is the only positive thing about the car.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is silent but not powerful. You feel it when you switch on the AC. Fuel economy is bad when driving in city with AC on. Gearbox has major problem. Intially it is smoth but after driving few 100 km it starts showing its real face.

    Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is ok when you drive around 80 but once you go beyond 100 km/h speed you does not feel confident. It does not feel stable on high speed.

    Final Words I purchased this car on Dec 2014. I was impressed with specifications like rear AC vent, music system, remote dicky open etc. but once i bought the car i felt it was a bad decision. Gearbox has a serious problem. After driving hardly 100 km i started feeling that shifting to first gear is having some problem. I took the vehicle to Dealer and they told that may be you are not pushing the clutch properly and i thought may be they are right but after 15 days it was getting stuck completely. It happened number of times that i was in traffic and then i was unable to push to first gear then i will apply second gear and then car will move. I again took the car to dealer and this time they took test drive and they also agreed for the same. Car was in the garage for 1 week and then they told that problem has been solved but on the same day while driving back to home i felt the same issue. Again i have to go to the dealer this time they kept the car for around 20 days and then they told problem is fixed.

    But now after driving few 100 km i noticed that car pickup dies when switching on the AC. I believe this issue was there since starting but i could not notice because of gear problem. Now gear becomes hard sometimes but still it is manageble but power is very less and sometimes vehicles stopes when you are on some overbridge with traffic and you have to stop in between. This is pathatic. I was earlier using Maruti 800 and even if i have to stop on a hill, my car never ever stopped so it is not my driving skill but it is the problem of the Car.

    I would suggest go for Maruti Swift or Swift Dezire or any other company but do not go for Hyundai.

    Areas of improvement Gearbox, Engine power.

    Interior spaceYou get too many things but most of those are useless
