Cons:
1) Till date, we are not very pleased with quality of plastics used in the Hyundai car. Hope they will take a note of that.
2) The mileage of Hyundai sedan in the past had not been the best - they fall behind Honda & Suzuki in that space.
3) If you are Apple fan, Hyundai does not mentions if CarPlay will be featured or not. Our gut feeling is, it would not be present.
4) Honda is coming up with smart apps for its cars such as City, Jazz and even Amaze - wherein you can know health of your car any where, locate your car (GPS), book a service and comes handy in rescue/emergency situation. This feature is clearly missing from Hyundai.
