Yepa rishab, You are right. I get these along with the new i10. Quote:

Also what is the point of getting the stock ICE (by paying over the Magna) and then replacing it a later stage (unless that stage is more than a year far).
My advice will be to save some dough and go for Magna. Install ICE as per your requirements. Also, Faux metal trims and rear spoiler can easily be installed aftermarket. The aftermarket spoiler can be bought for less than half the price of the OEM spec and still be the same in design and fitting. (PM me if you need help regarding this. Know of a bhpian from chandigarh who can ship the thing to anywhere in India and he is a fair dealer).
Coming back to the topic, go for the Magna unless you are really tempted to get yourself a Sportz version. Atleast am of the opinion that its not worth the extra money especially when you'll be replacing the audio components.

YC.BALENO.CHD dude, what you say is also valid. I guess the stock system also has USB. Hence i might not even replace the stock ICE. or if I ever plan to replace the stock ICE, it would surely be after 1 year/1.5 years when I have fully paid my car loan. This makes more sense for me to go for the sportz. *temptations are irresistible* Quote:

- ICE. Frankly I wont be able to make out the difference between a stock ICE and a high end ICE Model installed later, thanks to my limited knowledge about it. The stock one suits my needs a lot more than required. But again the stock ICE has got this great finish when compared to any extended version. Only regret being a lack of USB port. But then I am happy with the aux port. Sometimes feel that the four speakers installed are lagging a bit and thinking about adding on the tweeters soon;.
- Back seat head rest : Another important point. My friend has magna and I could immediately feel the difference when I sat in for the first time. Good comfort for those who are in the rear seats, especially during a long drive.
The rest like boot lamp, metallic finish, etc are not of much use.
As other's expressed, the above stuff can easily be done with a much less price. But I always have this feeling no matter what a company make will always score more compared to others. |
samabhi dude, yes all these aftermath fits dont satisfy you. I had enough (money & effort spent) on converting one trim to another. It is just that you do not get the factory fit & finish. Quote:

I am not much of an audiophile, so cannot comment on ICE. As for me, i am very much satisfied with the stock ICE, never felt that i compromised on anything! |
iPai dude, yes especially during rainy season these fitments play a very vital role.But seriously, hyundai could have upsized the tyres, atleast a 14 incher on the Sportz varients.
The KUN guys were not helpful. They did not give me a better quote when compred to the DSC guys. I guess I would take a shot at DSC today. I would test drive today along with my wife and decide. The car is decided, the varient is what is extremely confusing! damn! Quote:

If you are an ICE freak, get the magna, if you can do with below average sound / music get the Sportz |
ehehe praveen, your MI10 was good. With tyres upsized & with good looking alloys. I seriously dont have the time and money (right now) to spend on customizing the new machine I get. I am still 50 - 50 when it comes to both the trims. I shall go with my wife now to DSC and based on her feedback, I would decide. I have considered all the points highlighted by our bhpians. I will also analyze with the real thing infront of me! If I decide to ICE magna! I am sure I would end up spending 60-70K. If I buy the Sportz! i wouldnt spend anything except for the anti-theft alarm. But let me see.
