Waiting period of 1-2 months!!! Hmmmm...that's quite a waiting for a car estimated to be produced @ 3,00,000 per year. Is the Hyundai still waiting for feedback from general public. If so then here's some of my observations and queries so far.
In almost all the aspects, i10 seems to be a complete improvement over Santro, that is to say, i10 has simply taken over from where Santro as has left. Ground clearence of i10, however, has been reduced from Santro's respectable 172 mm to 165 mm. This, when the car is being projected as the one to be launched in India first and the rest of the world later (has the Hyundai forgotten abt India's pot-holed filled bumpy ride; and what about occasional off-roading in village roads). The GC of some of the other cars in B and B+ segment are: Spark = 170 mm, Palio Stile = 170 mm, Maruti 800 = 170 mm, Swift = 170 mm, U-VA = 188 mm, etc. etc. I don't know to what extent this reduction in 7 mm GC will affect the ride in bumpy roads, but one thing is for sure - every inch of GC reduced is certainly a negative development insofar as ride in bumpy roads are concerned.
With plush beige interiors, i10 has again set a new benchmarks for small car segment. But it is reported that beige interiors are more difficult to maintain as it gets dirty very quickly. Can the forum members kindly help me with some maintenence tips for its beige interior.
Also, is Abhi's claim that i10 comes with teflon coating correct?
