Excellent Car with great Features.

This car remains my all-time favourite. Especially the 2018 Verna. Hence after a lot of studies, I moved ahead to purchase the Verna 1.6 SX(o) anniversary edition diesel. I did test drives before I made the purchase. I read a lot of reviews that the breaks were not that effective. I too felt that on the test drive cars. However, on the 5th attempt, I was sent a 500 km driven diesel manual to test the breaks and I'm happy to say that they were sharp! I took the delivery of my car from FPL Hyundai (Chennai) on the 1st of November. I've driven about 2500 km and there were no bad experiences (Will cover that in a bit) till date. The car goes smooth. The handling is like no other Hyundai can give this. One of my key requirements is good mileage. I'm glad to report an average of about 19 in the city with normal traffic. I've driven a few highway test runs. On most of them, I used to set the cruise control to 100 km/h (only on the Highways). Trips to Hyderabad returned gave an average of 21.8 to 22.3 km/l. On a Goa trip, I touched 175 km//h (after the 1st service) and I still got an average of more than 20 km/pl which I think it's simply wow. Now coming to some of the interior parts, I feel the seats are a little too hard and don't provide ample under-thigh support. People of 6 feet tall, there isn't enough room for them to be seated in the rear. I really don't understand why Hyundai couldn't offer led headlights. While the halogen do the work but I always felt the LED's could have done a better job. It also looks a little odd since the day time running lamps are LED white, but the projector lamps are not. The halogen headlight does look a little unimpressive. But these are certainly not deal-breakers. Since it's probably the most expensive car in its segment. It surely lives up to the expectations. But definitely this car is awesome.
