  Hi, I purchased Hyundai Accent in Mid February after lots of research. Performance of this car is above average. I find its pickup and fuel efficiency is not so good. In bangalore city traffic conditions, it just gives 9.5kmpl and with AC on, it just slogs in traffic.But the driving comfort in bad roads is very good.

  In April I drove it for long drive to goto costal karnataka and I really enjoyed its driving comfort. I can rate 7/10 for its over all performance and any one can buy it comfortably as its very much worthy for its price.

  But lot of new models are available in the market with competitive price and Hyundai may phaseout this model soon.

  I believe Maruti has impressive lineups in Sedan catagory and fuel efficiency is better in maruti vehicles. So if you are fan of Hyundai go for this car else choose other new products.

  Hi Vijay,

  In the price range of 5 lakhs to 6.5 lakhs the best sedan at this time is Fiat Linea..... The dynamic model fits your budget but in my opinion you should go for the emotion variant..... It has got everything..... looks, spacious interiors & comes fully loaded with all the features like
  - automatic climate control
  - dash integrated music system
  - skoda style keyless entry
  - alloys, fog lights
  - rear windsreen blind
  - rear centre armrest with cup holders
  - driver armrest which is also height adjustable
  - best in class boot space
  - electically adjustable ORVMs

  with other basic features like power steering, power windows, tinted glass etc.

  The emotion model is priced at Rs. 680000.00...... The only thing that worries me is that it is a FIAT..!! But Tata motors assures that customers will get the best of service and spares at very resonable cost....

  As far as new models are concerned Tata may launch Indigo Vista Sedan in coming months but in comparison to Linea it stands nowhere in terms of looks and features....

  You should check out the linea at your nearest showroom and i hope you can't go for any other car after that!!

  Hi Alexander,
  
  For the price range of 5-6.5 lakhs, what car would you suggest? I like the Accent but the general view from family and friends is that it is an 'old' model. Whats your take on that? Am ready to wait for the right car, incase you would suggest some new models that may be due to be released soon..
  
  Thanks,
  Vijay

  Hi.... From the cars you have selected - Ikon, Dzire and Logan are available in both petrol and diesel except the accent which is available in only one model with petrol engine. You have not written your budget because there is huge difference in prices of Diesel and Petrol Variants which can go upto one lakh depending on the car. As far as looks are concerned Accent Executive is best from all the sedans. Hyundai is also offering additional discounts for the month of december making the price very tempting (Rs. 4,89,000 - Ex-Showroom New Delhi). It is not very fuel effcient with around 14kmpl but it is a tried and tested vehicle backed by Hyundai's vast dealer network. The interiors are well thought with all beige theme including the leather wrapped steering wheel and gear knob. Maruti Swift Dzire is very competitively priced car but the waiting period of 10 months for diesel variant & around 3 months for petrol version is very long. Also the interiors of Dzire feel a bit cramped. Except these two thing Dzire is a true value for money car. It is also the most feature rich sedan in its segment with dual airbags, ABS, Climate Control System, Steering mounted controls for Music system and much more..... Ford has recently launched the facelifted model of ikon and has also introduced a new variant with fiesta's diesel engine. The engine is very fuel efficient with 20Kmpl+ in mixed driving conditions. But the problem with ikon is that it feels a bit dated in terms of looks. The quality of interiors is very low grade and cheap. Though Ford has priced the diesel model for Rs. 5.29 lakhs and petrol variant at Rs. 4.59 lakhs but i dont think quality concious consumers will go for ikon. Now to the Logan. Except the looks Logan has got everything. Superb Fuel Efficiency, Rock Solid Chassis, Good service network & spacious interiors. But the sales of logan are declining day by day forcing Mahindra to cut productions by almost sixty percent!! They have also launched limited edition models to woo customers but they should understand one simple thing - Look Does Matter..!! In my opinion you should go for Hyundai Accent if you want to purchase the car right away and your budget is below 5 lakh rupees . Take care.....
