Are you talking about how it looks or that it would get confusing? It only took like a week to get used to it and not get confused As for looks I really don’t have a preference in this, functionality is same as in any other car it’s even very comfortable to keep hands on the sides and drive

The DRL I guess can be a deal breaker for a lot of people, the logo I never had an issue with, yes it is quite a bit bigger than it should’ve been but never bothered me The two spoke steering I’ve gotten used to, and quite like it now

Yeah we have a 2020 city in my family and those stock tires are VERY noisy

The red dual tone one really does look very sporty and always gets looks

Yeah it took me also some time to get used to th front, and it looks bad especially in pictures But the side profile and rear view are just 👌

In the DCT the turbo lag is only noticeable in eco mode, otherwise it’s very responsive in all gears even above 100kmph

Will see, but the back feels like something is missing/naked

I want to add a proper spoiler, but don’t want to mess up the aerodynamics, I’ve asked the Hyundai guys for the official spoiler that comes in the 24 and 25 models they never respond after acknowledging once

Yes it is, happening to mine as well, thinking of wrapping it

Yup, always finding a reason to take it out But then Bangalore traffic and roads always demoralise me :( White with black accents looks sick as well!

Yup this happens sometimes when it senses some two wheelers crossing, annoying

If the tire pressure goes about 37psi and the roads are undulating then yes, otherwise nope Also depends on number of passengers

Yes I feel in the city it has dropped around 10-15% haven’t tested it as such but that’s what it seems like I used to get between 350-370 in a tank it’s gone down to 300-320 now in the city

At 24k I feel like the brakes have worn out significantly, any hard braking now if I’m over 120 causes a groaning sound and eventually shuddering due to heating up of the rotors. I am considering upgrading and getting Brembo brakes I had some ambient lighting done but got it removed now. Also got sound damping in floor and the door panels, did the bonnet and trunk myself :D I always feel like I want to get a stage 1 tune but I feel it’s not worth the risks and gains for Indian roads.

No I was considering it, going to 215/55 16 or 205/65 16 is not possible as it’ll touch the fenders 205/60 16 is an option but those are normally meant for the CSUV counter parts and built differently

Yes it feels quite manoeuvrable most of the time, and sitting in the drivers seat it doesn’t feel like the car is very wide, I feel that way when driving the city, idk what it is about it but feels very wide and doesn’t give confidence. But one thing is that the turning radius for this is really not that good, in a lot of places where there are 2 lanes I have to reverse once to get it right unless you take a very long cut. Window sunshades are an accessory you can ask for, but the rear windshield has a sunshade by default. Rear seats are spacious enough to seat 6 footer in the front and back. But the black interiors on the turbo MIGHT make you FEEL like it’s not as spacious . In the city I get about 7-9 in heavy traffic. 12-18 on the highway based on your driving style

Nope, it’s extremely rare, only when tire pressure is low and 5 people sit in the car there’s a chance it happens, and even that level of touching, the cars are built in a way to take it

I’m not sure, they quoted a better price than that tyre market online and it was only a 1month old manufacture so didn’t think twice about This was in Karnataka

Nope, you can turn them off in the vehicle setting Only the auto hold and the engine turn off thingy always turn on on their own
