| ![]() After checking out Yaris, City, Rapid and Verna I have decided to go for Verna petrol VTVT sx (o). Wife insisted on six airbags. I don’t want an auto transmission anymore. Doesn’t make sense to get diesel since I don’t drive so much. Letting go of a civic to get this car. Got some nice discounts too - 40k plus some accessories from the dealer and 70k from Goa goverment. |

I have SX(O)AT Petrol. The car has done 10k+ and with bumper to bumper traffic in Hyderabad, I get 6-8 kmpl. Normal city driving gets me 10 kmpl and highway driving 15-18 kmpl. When the car was new I used to get a bit lower figures and efficiency has improved since but is still lower than what I expected. However, given 1.6 CC engine, AT, absolute driving comfort and luxurious feel, I have come to terms with it. My wife and I go for (very)long drive once a year and also tag our little daughter along, Verna keeps us comfortable throughout. | |

| ![]() Firstly - I must admit I'm relieved to meet a fellow petrol AT owner at long last! Almost every AT owner I see drives the diesel which has slightly different driving dynamics and better FE for sure! And thank you for the information too. I agree that the car is a joy and pulls like a breeze! Waiting for that long drive still. Trying to convince my wife that I won't fall asleep driving an automatic on the highway. The last time we did a 200 mile drive by the east coast in NY, I fell asleep for a brief 5 seconds in our Corolla. Thanks to the Corolla's collision detection system and lane change detection system, we were saved that day. Quote:

![]() Type: HB3 Spec: 4300K / 16000 Lumens (claimed) Comes with a driving unit. It has heat-sinks and a cooling fan. LED emitters placed on the mast on all directions in a polygon, almost a 360 degree emitter like the halogen filament. I couldn't hold the excitement until weekend, so I went ahead and installed the headlamps on my car straightaway! Installation was difficult! There's very narrow space in between the rear cap of the headlamp cluster and other components near that. On the LHS, there's the fuse-box so it is impossible to put the LED lamp into the headlamp cluster. You can put it into the unit only after unbolting the headlamp cluster to slightly lift it up. Beam pattern on the wall and the hot-spots in the pattern was seen to be similar to that of the stock halogens. The low beam is super impressive! The high beam is seen slightly diffused than a halogen beam (Common with many LED upgrades). It is not that 'pointy' as the halogens. So I am not that happy with the high beams as I am with the low beams. Here's how the light looks - the halogen fog-lamp is like a candle light now! ![]() Here's a video showing how the light illuminates the road at night. | ||

Hi Clevermax , probably you can try Morimoto 2 stroke leds- they're designed to mimic halogen beam pattern using CSP led chips . Your kind of LED bulbs do not output correct light as reviewed online by few. The reason I stayed away from LED is that they don't perform well in Highbeam halogen projector scenario- even for well built Morimoto. My requirement is good high beam. Hence after lot of 'research', I've finally got Morimoto HID kit - yet to get it installed though. Last edited by somspaple : 29th October 2019 at 12:26. |

Bumper needs to be replaced. In case you are planning to claim insurance, you are looking at something around 3k. I had a mishap too sometime back and got a hole in left side of front bumper. That was the amount told to me by my SA. But, as I can hide that hole with a T-BHP sticker ![]() EDIT: Your head light assembly too would be replaced I guess, add couple of more thousands. Sorry for your car friend, I too have the same color. Last edited by PetrolRider : 11th November 2019 at 17:24. | |

Just visited the service centre. Front bumper, complete right headlight setup and right fender had to be changed. But I am told it will cost approx 60000 and I will need to pay around 3000 out of my own pocket since I am going to get it done via insurance | |

| ![]() A lot of Verna owners have been complaining about the brakes getting jammed and causing accidents. Does this issue still exist in 2019 model vernas also? I was thinking of getting a Verna but now I am not so sure. It seems this issue exists in the Creta as well. |

Right fender damages are not very clear from the photo. Just check, instead of replacing, if they can manage through denting. Hyundai' part comes in white color and they paint it to black or whatsoever color, which is itself 50% of the cost. You can console yourself that, as your car is within first year, you wont get hit with NCB loss that much. Quote:
Brakes are spongy, but never faced "jammed" situation. But, still my car is just one year 4 months and 15K km old. If brakes are major criteria for you, nothing can beat a Toyota. | ||

The issue is I can't open the driver side door. Looks like the Right fender is misaligned and yesterday got a call mentioning that the wiper reservoir also needs to be replaced. As you said, NCB loss may not be that high and could be absorbed. A huge wake call for me in terms of driving in narrow lanes. |
