Buyers are more attracted to long list of features, interior and exterior looks. A small proportion of buyers buy a car purely based on its driving dynamics.

I have a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. I went with the Tucson because I wanted AWD. It has been one of the biggest mistakes. The first was getting a Hyundai. They don’t care about their consumers. My car has been blowing headlights- having electrical issues (my auto windows go back down when you roll them up, my rear windshield wipers go off whenever they want, my break light seems to go on and off at random. I have reached out because as a company they should only want the best products out there. I was told that “because my car is over 3 years old. There is nothing they can do for me. To bring it to a dealer and “see what I can get” for it. I owe more than it’s worth because one thing they don’t tell you when you buy a Hyundai is they depreciate way faster than you can make payments to survive. DO NOT BUY A HYUNDAI.

Let's bring in Honda City CVT for a minute. Though it belongs to different segment but still... We have Venue and KIA sonet DCT. On road price of Venue:14,62,000(SX+ DCT)Petrol On road price of Sonet:16,05,000(GTX+ DCT)Petrol On road price of Honda City:17,74,000(ZX CVT)Petrol Insted of taking Sonet one can opt for City as it is only 1 LAKH costlier... In one lakh you are getting such a big car with features and comfort more than that of SONET... If on tight buget of 16lakh, opt for lower model(VX).. Kia sonet is too costly I have opted for Hyundai Venue as it is within 15 lakh. Though it has some flaws I will able to manage What do you think?

@bhargavmallampati 3 жыл бұрын

it was a bad choice u cant compare city to sonet even then u get better ground clearance and many other features like brake assist, traction control, different modes, better mileage and many more the only thing that bad is back seat spaciousness and both have same power so taking sonet is a best choice over city and if u have 18 lakhs approx then going for kia seltos is much better than buying a city as in every aspect its way better and looks better

The venue sits lower and is slower but is perfect for new or young drivers because of the variety of modern and straight forward dash, tech as well as safety features it boasts in lower trims. The seltos feels like an suv but the interior dash is too busy for me and the safety and tech equipment are less exciting and confidence inspiring in lower trims compared to the venue. It’s a real head scratcher to choose 😞

Even ac use is very limited, only in city area and extremely warm conditions.

He can't manage manual car as he is an old age man; so our preference is automatic car only. I was confused between Venue DCT, Magnite CVT & Aura automatic. We live in Amravati and no Nissan showroom is here until now. Nagpur dealers arrange servicing camp monthly once in Amravati. Which car should I buy for him, should I hurry and buy Venue/Aura in December/Diwali or should I take a risk of Magnite? He is a government servant and I dnt want his hard earned money to go vain..

When compared side to one cannot say, Sonet is beefier. Venue has strong creese lines on the side, looks better proportioned from all angles, compared to Sonet's ever so slightly dipping nose and shapeless back. In the interior too, there's a lot going on in the Sonet compared to Venue's clean and simple layout.
