    DRIVING:
    Did a short drive once

    Exterior Its a nice exterior and no negative points on that side. I felt its a combination of fluidic verna & i10. Its exterior design is good in its class.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior looks cool and well arranged with dual tome colour. Tachometer should have added more beauty to the dashboard. When coming to space & comfort i can say it as nice SMALL FAMILY CAR. It will easily accomodate 4 people (2 on back who are of normal body size, hope u got what i mean). If u are trying to pack 3 on back for a long journey, it will be tight packed. Driver is having a nice leg room with tiltable steering, but Co- driver seat should also have been given a nice leg room, if they we able to move that glove box to another area or modify it. All the switches are easily accesible as in other cars. One thing i noticed is that its seating position is bit low when compared to others and have enough head room for 6' feet person like me (Can't say its having spacious headroom when compared to tall boy designs, but its pretty descent among its competitors).

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox We can specifically rate it as small family car, which is good in handling and doing his job when riding it in a normal way (No harsh downshifting to overtake or so). while going desently in 50 Km, i downshifted it from 4th to 3rd gear for seeing its performance (eventhough showroom people already advised, not to do that since it's not meant for that type) only change i felt was increase in noise of engine, also felt the 3 Cylinder engine was struggling to cope up with that. Dont know why they had gone for 3 Cylinder 814 CC engine, when its competitors are having 4Cylinder engines.  3 Cylinder engine also reducing the chance to upgrade it to LPG also. Hope hyundai will come soon with a 4 Cylinder one. 

    Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality was good, but shocks need to refined. its fails to some extent when traveling in very rough roads, which are full of poth holes ( very common in our country. 😊 ) . More refined shocks will take it to next level of riding experience for back seat passangers. Handling seems to be good, even in sudden braking also, car is well with in our control.

    Final Words Overall its a nice family, (4 members) who are not intrested in harsh driving like I mentioned above. Also its price tag is bit high ( for higher end models) & getting very close to other models from same manufacturer and that will tempt people to move away from it (due to reasons like more space, better 4 cylinder engine & other extra features available on spending little more thousands).

    Areas of improvement Engine upgradation to 4 Cylinder, Stereos system with 4 Speakers, Better leg room for co passenger, More refined shocks.

    Design, Easy handling, cool interiors3 Cylinder engine, music system with 2 speakers, down shifting of gears seems to be tidious
