Welcome to the Team.
Your buying the car next week and still not decided on it?? Good luck anyways, and post a few pix of the car when u get it. And if u need to soup it up a bit, we've got inhouse tuners, designers, ICE experts and a whole bunch of car freaks who could guide u all the way....

Enjoy!!!

Please! Dont waste ur hard earned money on a Hyundai. They're only worth anything if they're below 4 lacs, (like santro etc..)
Your best be tis to wait for the Honda Civic which is soon to be launched. Or get urself a Cedia!

Aloha Aloha!

Welcome to TBHP.

I would favor elantra over the optra coz teh former has a great crdi engine. Optra pulls like a diesel car with a 1.6 engine

Cedia is good; but its petrol. It seems you havent done your homework well. Donno if you wnat a petrol or diesel car eh? Take a test drive of these three, and maybe even the Skoda and Corolla.

WOW... Pretty strong dislike you have there Speedzak... Are you speaking from experience?.. Did you own a Hyundai over 4 lacs?

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.

JKDAS is right - my homework needs to be better .... i am more in favour of a diesel vehicle ... given we will be driving around 3000 kms a month. The options (in the below 10 lac car segment) are Elantra, Fiesta, Accent (that I know of).

Back to the drawing board - will let you know what I buy and will post pics. Thanks again
