Good car with loads of features and few minor drawabacks

I have purchased this car (S 1.2 Petrol) approx two years back and have driven close to 5000 KM in that period. The car is really good and in past 2 years I've not faced any issues with it. Here is my detailed review: Pros: - Class beating features (e.g. read ac vent, bluetooth connectivity, nice stereo system, and good cluster of instrumentation). - Fuel economy is good. In city like Bangalore it gives a mileage of 15-17 and that easily reaches 18-20 while driving on highways. - Nice pick-up even at low gears. - Sound insulation inside the cabin is really good. It effectively cuts out the traffic noise upto bearable levels. - AC quality is really good. Cons: - The biggest drawback is the braking system specially at low gears. Even after two years of driving sometime it feels a bit too jerky. - The fuel meter is really small, and doesn't give true idea of the fuel left in the tank. Even if there is sufficient amount, it feels like you're out of fuel due to smaller size. - Lack of 'Distance to Empty' meter augments the problem mentioned in the previous point, and that should have been part of the instrumentation given the target segment. - 'Speed detecting auto lock' is another feature that is surely missed (specially if you've small kid attracted to the door handle) given that it's a common feature even in lower end cars.Overall, aside from few quirks the car is really good, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to buy a compact-sedan.

    Perfect Compact Sedan.
    I have owned two Hyundai Xcent base model for tourist purpose, one out of that car clutch plate I changed at 198000km which was even working fine but to avoid sudden breakdown of my car I changed it otherwise it could have run few more kilometers for sure, apart from that spare parts price is almost similar to Maruti cars, the handling I feel better than Maruti Dzire and when I bought this car that time this was the only one car which was offering good feature but price lesser than Maruti desire and honda amaze after 5 years as well I am getting milage 20-22km per liter without AC which is pretty cool and current km reading is approx 2.2lakh km but still no engine issues, for personal use also this is a low budget perfect compact sedan

    Good Mileage But Frequent Complaints
    Despite giving the best cooling, I still consider the AC as a failure in Xcent. I have been using Xcent Diesel since 2015. Most of my usage is within the city for office commute and weekend trips to nearby places putting it close to 1000 km per month on average. The car usually performs well within city. But on highways, the car usually struggles besides engine noise. The pathetic part is the AC. I usually service at authorized Hyundai service centers and despite regular annual service(once every 10k km), I had to change AC coil every year for the last 3 years. Having driven close to 60k km, AC stopped working completely including compressor failure, thermostat, coil costing close to Rs. 40,000 on service charge. On the whole, Xcent, though offers good mileage, comes with a lot of maintenance in spite of safe handling.

    Executive For Executives.
    Hyundai Xcent is a car built for and to be used by the executive class only..at the moment when I bought it, it had great features as per cost factors. The car is ok with performance on CNG, but the performance of petrol is somewhere better than market standards.
