I own a 2005 june CRDI, if I have to describe this car in one word- this is a monster on the road! great power and great handling. I have knocked 150 speed in this car and its rock steady provided you should have 4 passengers in it. The fuel efficiency of the car is amazing it gives me 15 kmpl in city conditions without AC.
This could be rated as one of the best vehicles hyundai has made on overall performance. The maintenance will cost around 5-6k normally for every 6 months. Hyundai doesnt sell spares outside so it is suggested to get the servicing done at the company showroom itself. Please do not try to put duplicate filters which in turn will hamper your vehicle performance by spoiling the censors.
Always check for coolant and engine oil levels and conditions to keep the vehicle in good condition. I would rate this car as the best thing ever happened to hyundai.
This vehicle is much better than the new verna since the shape provides better control on driving.
I would say go for it!
