First take a long test drive of Verna on highways where you can exceed the 90kmph mark. Almost every hyundai car has Electric Power Steering which gets exposed on highways at higher speeds. When you drive it in city you are like-"Wow, so effortless to control, amazing steering" but when you go on high speeds its like-"WTF why the hell I can't control it??".
I don't know about Verna because I haven't driven it but it surely is in i10. You drive a Ford(which has hydraulic Power Steering) and then a Hyundai and realize the difference.
I think you haven't taken the test drive of new Fiesta. Anyone test drives it I can bet anything that he won't atleast call it the worst. True, its expensive and not VFM like the Vento or Rapid but if you have the money you will take the car home without facing much opposition from other cars. It gives you the true driving pleasure.
And don't judge a car by seeing its sales figures. Swift sells the highest but it hasn't got anything best in class other than the diesel engine which it got from FIAT.
Now about service, Every brand has good and the bad service centres everywhere. I heard of a Maruti dealer in Uttarakhand who sold an already registered swift by tampering its Chassis Number. And then I have a Ford Service Centre in my city which reminds you 10 days before your insurance expires or your scheduled service is due and even calls you a week after servicing your vehicle about your experience and the problems you are facing after the servicing. So make sure that even the Hyundai ASS in your area is good enough before you book Verna.
Just one question.Do you drive yourself or are you like your avatar?
I seriously hope that you are not otherwise all the discussion in the previous 2 pages would be nullified.
