Well..the accent Viva CRDi first of all is cheaper than the sedan by about 50k. What I believe is that the Honda City has come down a segment & now is directly in competition with the accent. Now the NHC beats the accent in most of the aspects be it sheer space or FE. So the petrol accent loses out to the NHC. To counter this i think hyundai has offered the Viva CRDi with similar pricing. Now the CRDi engine is great, has good FE backed by hyundai's service network & some people do find the looks of the viva sporty(for me its just crap). The booted version of Accent CRDi costs close to 8lakhs on road bombay while viva CRDi & NHC(EXi) are priced very neck to neck..the diff being of about 5k here & there.

revv...viva petrol is more expensive than the petrol sibling while in CRDi its the other way round. About the brakes they were much better on the car that i tested a few days back..not the best but not bad either plus with the heavy diesel engine & beefed up suspension the car was much moer stable at speeds of arnd 130km/h. & about the music system its good that they don't offer one bcoz whatever the give is just utterly useless..plain junk..I agree ABS should have been offered atleast as an option.
