I had been using a Jap vehicle for the last 15 years and so I was really very apprehensive to swith over to a Korean vehicle. I did a lot of research, talked to auto experts, read reviews, auto magazines (some are very biased) and finally I took the plunge...I bought the Accent VIVA....that was 10000 Kms ago.
Its loaded man and I did not have to spend any money on any accessories.
I know I should not be boasting about it BUT ................I did drive the VIVA at 165 kms on the NOIDA - GREATER NOIDA highway........did not feel any tension on the contrAry I just did not feel the speed. I could have sped more but for my wife sitting next to me reminding me of my AGE.
I have yet to spend a penny on the vehicle. It gives me a decent average of 13 kms in winter but a LOW 11km with the A.C..The Hyundai should look into this aspect sice now we have the new HONDA City giving 15 km in the city.
Finally a word on the A.C.. It has one of the best A.C. I have ever felt in any of the cars including the premium ones. !
