@Nickandre:
A dent on a new car basically acts as a piece of good luck for me,my Laura as well as Corolla both got one within the three days of buying and since that day none has created even a single problem while I haven't got them repaired too..

I can understand your frustration. It feels terrible to see a big scratch on a new car like this, even more so when you are faultless. As Vipul said, some people prefer not repairing the damage on their car believing that anything like that will happen never again. My cousin with similar thought too didn’t repair the broken lamp of his new car. Strange, but maybe it works? It is absolutely personal / superstitious though and I, for one, will never tolerate to keep a big damage on my car for long.

Drive Safe,

Re: Hyundai Verna Fluidic SX (O) Experience

im getting it repaired tomorrow from a known guy for 2.5k he does a pretty good job havent checked with hyundai as i do not want to claim it from insurance

anyways just back from pune was a good trip very good roads in pune went to shivaji nagar, and shoppers stop near l&t and drove around the peths. third tankful got over while leaving pune hps power ran for about 340kms mid constantly showed 8.6 kmpl
filled in shell super unleaded just before the expressway at rs 76.45 /l
reminded me of pumps back in usa and gulf the fuel dispenser
cruised between 120-150 kmph did not want to go higher as other drivers who just changes lanes are a threat
so now whats the results of the shell fuel? Diesel guys dont get jealous ha :D

mid touched 19.5 kmpl but couldnt take an image, took this as i reached home

the thing of this car is while your cruising at 120 kmph if you do not check the speedo you feel your at 80kmph and step on the gas a little more and then when you notice the speedo thinking your at 120 y0u are actually at 150 kmph the car could do more but it rather dont want to risk my life or other innocent guys. regarding handling its not possible to take on those curves on the expressway above 45 50 so no comments

Re: Hyundai Verna Fluidic SX (O) Experience

18 kmpl is very nice, can you tell us more about suspension ? How do you feel ?

Re: Hyundai Verna Fluidic SX (O) Experience

the suspension absorbs bumps nicely, its good although i am unhappy with it as it makes a thad thad noise when gong in bad potholes above 20 kmph the shocks dont filter in cabin but noise does it feels as if the suspension is hitting the top end of the absorbers
i guess its a defect in mine as others do not have this issue
handling wise i have touched uptill 150 only but never found the car out of control nor it behaving as a boat nor any body roll

Re: Hyundai Verna Fluidic SX (O) Experience

the thad noise on bumps and speed breakers is common in fluidic verna. many have informed it. even I heard it when a Verna just crossed the speed breaker. Seems like the noise will be arrested by stiffening. also few say Autorunner will help.

what the?
how did you?
18 kmpl on petrol !!!!
i am not jealous. you cant make up for price of petrol and diesel even if you get same mileage. [glasses]

i got my 100% black films today. and i am actually screwed. it was very difficult to drive in dark during night. but car looks more beautiful from outside now. will post some photos tomorrow after it get cleaned.

and for suspension, i usually dont let my car go into big potholes , until i am not aware. but few days back i got the same thad noise when i went into big pothole. so it may be present in all verna i guess.

Re: Hyundai Verna Fluidic SX (O) Experience

Hyundai needs to improve in two things from my point of view

* Suspension
* Handling at high speed [Although its OK for me but still needs to be perfect to beat all other competitors]

May be New fluidic verna transform!!! But in hope of luck Hyundai may fix these issues in next version! [drive]

Re: Hyundai Verna Fluidic SX (O) Experience

it showed 19.5 but when i was reaching home there was a bit of traffic. i guess thats cause of shells super unleaded, while going we cruised at 120-130 and mid showed 9.6 kmpl on hps power.
after using shells fuel engine feels smoother and more silent and responsive. bad luck no shell pumps here.
i was shocked although arai claimed 17 kmpl

bensam i read on some forums that hyundai is offering stiffer suspension upgrade in russia
hope they offer that here
