1000 Kms Review of my Hyundai Verna DCT

Travelled to Thrissur last week from Bangalore.

Good:

• Used Eco Mode during Onward Journey and maintained 80 to 95. The mileage returned was 17KMPL. Traffic was heavy during the weekend.
• Return did some spirited driving in Normal Mode. The mileage returned was 15 KMPL.
• Overall Satisfied with the Mileage returns although nowhere close to my old Diesel i20 it matched my expectations.
• Car was an absolute Gem in Normal Mode with power being available on every Tap. Eco mode made the car feel heavier and had some lag.
• Eco mode was best for free open roads.
• Ground Clearance has been absolutely no issue with 2 People.
• Front Parking Sensor and Blind Spot Warning Systems are very useful in the City.+AC and Ventilated seats work perfectly and the chills pretty quickly.
• The music system works pretty well and the physical controls are a big plus compared to the touch system in Rivals.

Okay:

• Still, the Seat Comfort is not up to the i20 Levels but has definitely improved. This is because the Steering is bigger and the Seat is on a much lower height while the Pedal is a little closer compared to the i20. So this is taking time to get used to.
• Soft Suspension is a Big Plus in the City especially since most of Bangalore's roads are in poor condition with Rain. But not firm on Highways compared to i20 but still it was Okay.
• Not so Good:
• Headlights were the one big disappointment, especially with the Rains, Visibility was so bad. Raised this with Hyundai and they are checking with Headoffice for any possibility of an alternative solution.
• No wireless Apple Car play. The wired solution was getting disconnected during big bumps. Added MSXTTLY Adapter which is good (Not the fastest compared to my old i20 Wireless Car Play). But it's very stable.

Overall Baring some niggles, Happy so far !!!
