I have been absent from this thread for quite some time, due to various reasons. However, sharing my long term ownership experience here.<\/p>\n<p>The below points summarize my experience with my car over the past 7 years:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Car<\/strong>: Hyundai Verna 1.6 VTVT S(O)<\/li>\n<li><strong>KMs done<\/strong>: 46800 in 3000 days (Average ~ 15.5 KMs daily) (99% with AC on)<\/li>\n<li><strong>KMs on Highway<\/strong> ~ 31000 KMs (66%)<\/li>\n<li><strong>City mostly driven<\/strong>: Bangalore<\/li>\n<li><strong>Major Incidents:<\/strong> None<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minor Incidents:<\/strong> Too many (Bangalore city driving has its perils)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Niggles<\/strong>: None<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Breakdowns \/ Part Changes: Mentioned below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2017<\/strong> &#8211; There was a faint &#8216;kat&#8217;kat&#8217; sound coming from the driver&#8217;s foot-well. It occurred only when going over rough surfaces and broken roads. Did not occur if I crossed a speed breaker. For this issue, the culprit was identified as the EPS motor. Since the car was in warranty, it was changed free of cost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2021<\/strong> &#8211; AC cooling was reduced, so took to the car to Advaith Hyundai, the compressor valve (ECV) was found faulty and replaced for about 4000\/- including labour. More details can be found in this thread by VIGSOM: https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/techn&#8230;ml#post5061928 (Aircons! Demystifying the car air-conditioning system)<\/p>\n<p><strong>2022<\/strong> &#8211; The front link rods were &#8216;weak&#8217; as mentioned by the SA and hence I gave a go ahead to change them. Charged about 1500\/- including labour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Battery Change<\/strong>: There were instances in May 2018, when the crank was taking longer than usual. Got it checked at a battery store and found the Exide battery from the factory was breathing its last.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, got a new Amaron, exchanging the Exide, for 4800\/-. It has now started showing signs of degradation. I will probably get it changed in next few months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tire Change:<\/strong> In August 2021, the stock Bridgestone B250s had covered 37000kms and lived for 6 years. Though they still had thread depth, I got Yokohama Earth 1s for the car. The Bridgetones served well and had just single puncture. Hoping the same reliability from the Yokos. Costed 7000\/- per piece. The Yokos have been terrific, zero punctures, good grip and reliability. Also, minimal drop in air pressure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Points worth mentioning:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After eight years of ownership, I am completely satisfied with my purchase. The interiors are properly screwed and of top quality built. No sounds\/rattles from the dashboard or the door pads. This, after I have to drive a lot over none existent roads of outer Bangalore very regularly. Quite impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Read BHPian comments for more insights and information. <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/8-years-47000-km-my-verna-petrol-overall-mileage-upkeep-cost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The interiors are properly screwed and of top quality built.
