@walter,  thanks. I was looking for someone who has experience on i10 A/T, can you please share something about pickup and overall handling of A/T aspecially on i10?

@Chaitanya, I got fascinated by seeing those things in i20 but after re-considering/revising my requirements I came back to i10 and kept i20 in a side for a while. but still I am gng to take TDof that as well ;-)  thanks aw

Mileage in AT cars (any) is a little less.

cant say that the driving pleasure will be better as A/T cars only eliminate the use of a clutch. You still do have a liver for the different modes of driving (P-R-N-D-L).Rest everything is the same.




Why break rules when following them is much easier!!!

@Walter, I can understand how much it feels good to drive a car without engaging our left hand & leg. Its good to hear that there is no problems with pickup even while climbing up, thanks.

@Sri, that is true. M/T is good for controlling/handling our car from high speed using gears (for me atleast), some people get rid of gears in city traffic but afterall its individuals choice and convinience. Once, I did drive my friend's car (A/T Zen) and it was very difficult to control my left hand to go on the mode shifting liver and hardly I could managed tp stop movement of my left leg after appying breaks most of the times ;-) 

Jokes apart: On last Saturday, I went for TD with my wife and my friend. We had to wait for few minutes as it was saturday and most of the people visit on Sat & Sun, we got i10 Asta for TD, I loved it, it's really peppy. turning is so cool just one fingure is sufficient (thats true).. thanks to EPS. leg space at rear is fine, boot space is ok, pickup is good, interior is good, gear knob position is really comfortable.. Feel is like just get inside and realise it yourself. We were 4 persons in the i10, me & my wife at front, my friend & the sales person at rear. It can pull 4 people on 2nd gear when it is completely stopped (was just chking). Only thing what I didn't like is 'headlamp shape', it remembers frog's eys to me but its not bad though.  

Overall, experience was really great. I'll book the Black Beauty very soon
