Accent or i20 - confusion
i was in confusion at begining of this year, and i liked i20 , and i made enquiries for the same, there the guy happened to be my friend and requested me to take test drive of Accent as well, and i went on a long drive with him, and boy, i forgot all about i20, and booked Accent, and now i am driving it since feb 2009. though i20 is good, Accent gives u more pleasure driving, more over its loaded at the price compared to dzire, ikon, aveo, and i nvr cared to think of tata cars. it also has more power and finesse, than, ikon and aveo. super silent cabin, and nice aircon, and vry good acceleration, superb suspension. i am really surprised, why no body is interseted in such a VFM car anymore. as the question of phasing out goes, if u are going to keep the car for say for more than 5yrs, then u shudnt be bothered about phasing out of Accent, and any way all the models, get phased out sooner or later, for example, tata has phased out indigo, honda has brought out new city and civic, within 5yrs, maruti has phased out sx4 for a newer version. the hyundai guy told me that corporate sales of Accent are still good, and there are no plans to phase it out. moreover they are bringing newer versions of the car like cng , lpg, and eco.
finally take a test drive and decide , sedan is sedan and hatch back remains a hatchback, afterall.
