In fact, the Hyundai Verna has had a reputation for well being peppy and fascinating to drive, notably in its turbocharged variants. But with each new generation, there are some enthusiasts who believe that the car is seemingly getting more comfortable, feature rich and fuel efficient at the expense of the sporty character. The latest generation introduces a whole host of new technologies and comfort features and with them, debates about whether these additions have made the car less engaging to drive. Others say the new Verna has become too soft and isolated, disconnected from the feeling of being connected that made earlier generations enjoyable to drive. Some argue the car has simply gotten bigger to meet the desires of a much broader customer base who put comfort and technology ahead of sporty handling. This discussion frequently includes comparisons to past Verna models and competitor vehicles considered more driver oriented.
