After many investigation I decided to buy i20 magna model.
Initially compared with Fabia, U-va and i20.
I was comparing the B+ segment cars i.e. between i20 - U-va - FabiaI decided to go for i20 magna, based on the following things.
Basically Fabia is good car but the spares and service network is not good if u r going to some remote place.
So left with U-va and i20, the engine difference is Kappa is the latest engine which has got 16 values for better effeciency and its light weight. Wheelbase of i20 is the longest in its segment, so you get a good grip on the road.
Night and Day mirror is very useful when driving in the night, which is a good feature. Clutch footrest helps in sitting position and feels very comfortable while driving.
Here are few pictures of my car =============>
Dimension wise i-20 is much bigger in terms of width, height and length.
MIleage wise as U-va people says, it is 14 in city condition, but one of friend is hardly getting 12 and I am sure with kappa engine, i20 will give 14. not yet checked but definately will get back to you on the mileage of i20.
and the last and important thing was the service network, which is like After maruti in India, hyundai has got the maximum numbers of service stations, which is very important.
Abt the magna, I got it at 4.45 Lacs(Seat covers+ Filming+ Steering cover+ mud flaps= > all free)Overall car is very good, it is just 2 weeks for me to speak about mileage.
The car is very spacious and very powerful music system. even I can burn the cd as data cd with all mp3 and I can play the same in my car. Which can hold upto min 100 songs in one cd, which is good instead of buring a Music cd. You can view which songs is now playing in the lcd panel on teh dashboard and just by rotating the other know, you can view/surf the songs and then play accordingly.
I showed the car in my office guys and everybody liked the car. People were saying like they are not feeling like sitting in car.
For Comfort level I give 5 stars.
I haven’t used it on highway as yet, but definately will be going in a weeks time and definately will give the feedback on the same. But I am sure, it will give a good ride quality.
The good feature of the car in terms of security is, it doesn’t lock the door without keys. So there is no problem of where car keys are left inside.
Steering is adjustable, which is very useful in city drive condition.
Boot light is very useful in the night.
Gears are very smooth.to operate
Security wise it also beeps when any of the door is not closed properly, which is very useful.
Also it beeps when driver is sitting without seatbelt, which is again a good feature of the car.
I have fitter remote locking system in the car, which cost me around Rs 3000 from hyundai workshop.
The advantage is like if you take the remote central locking from hyundai is specific to i20 is coupling to coupling wires are available, where as if you fit it from outside it will be cheaper but its not coupled one and for that you need to connect the wire after cutting it and then attaching it with tape. Which in future can create problem. So I would suggest you to go for company fitted remote locking system specific for i20. so no wiring cutting and joining headache.
Remote central locking comes with reverse tone and Also I have added one switch for switching off the reverse tone, in case you are reversing your vehicle in your apartment, coz of which people get disturbed, so I can switch it off the swtich and take the reverse. Its a good facility, which I have added to my car. There are many instance where in you are in hospital and reverse tone, which is loud enough might disturb to other. So buyer, do think of fitting that switch, it just cost me rs 150.
In the Pune city, it gave me a very good ride quality.
Anyone want to know any specific thing abt the Car, everybody is welcome.I will reply in a day or two:-)
I will post more pictures soon on the site.
overall 5 stars to i20.
if you have budget of 5.5 lacs, just go for it.nothing like it.
I had purchased my i20 from Sanjay Hyundai, a very good service given by them.5 stars for the service till date.
