Hyundai Verna

[Ron]

hELLO GUYS,

I haveshortlisted the car Hyundai verna to buy.
I will be buying the petrol version.

There are two models in petrol: One is Xi and other is XXi
The difference bw them is:
1. Alloy wheels
2. 2 din stereo system (Kwnwood)
3. Climate conrol
4. Two tweeters

There is a price difference of 60k bw both the models. I believe that is too much for the things they are providing extra. and moreover i dont like the stock alloys ( too ordinary).

What I am thinking of is buying the Xi model and adding all the feature (excluding the climate control).

First question: Is it advisable to get the above mentioned things from the market or Get the XXi model and just upgrade the alloys!!

Now for that please suggest me alloys.
T ones on the verna are 14" .. I want them in the range of 15-25k, Ill use the stock tyres only. (so the alloys would be just for the looks).

and please suggest me a stereo system ( 2DIN). The Xi model cumes prefitted with 4 speakers. I want to know about subwoofers and things which i can add to the 4 speakers. I can spend upto 20k on the system+ speakers (remember the car already cumes with 4 speakers and i wont replace them. so tweeters or subwoofer or watever that can fit (YES I AM A BEGINER!!))

PS: I can go for tyre upgrade if it helps the handling is someway. and also because i have heard the tyres are undersized for the car. So please suggest on that also.

Why not Optra Magnum Diesel or Ford Fiesta D ?? I have read lots and lost negatives abt Vernas handling.

Go for an Accent or a Honda City....

not much fuel efficiency reqd. and diesel is NO for me . as the car wud just run 15k kms per year. (max). so it wont cover the extra price i wud pay for the diesel in 3yrs of running.

I have myself taken i t drive of verna. torutre the car alot .. went uptop 150kms. and it had more to give. even braked hard leading to a nice rubber line on the road .. no wobble of the rear(fishtail). revved it upto 5.5k rpms. it was smooth. almost pulled the handbrake at the ebd of the drive and did a 90 degree. the sales man almost had a heaert attack .. the throttle response is awesum ..

took the 3rd ger to 2.2k rpms. the floored the gas .. i cud feel a huge push .. (i thot my scorpio had the max torque)..


so no worries bout the handling
