Good car but can be best...

 

Exterior A very good shape (I guess because it is designed by person who design cars for BMW), I like the looks of car very much, but it could have been more attractive with double barrel head lamp

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very seat is comfortable except driver seat, it is because of the placement of the paddles. I have drove my car more than 3800 kms since purchase and i have still not found comfortable driving position and one major flaw is that I keep my seat as far away as possible so (but keepig in mind that I am able to press clutch fully) my knee dont touch or break the key. I tried adjusting height of both seat and tilt of stearing, but no luck. And if one try to keep seating position high then left leg keep scratching the panel there.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox There is high amount of turbo lag in the engine.(I have swift also and there is very less turbo lag there). But if you follow the gear selector indicator instruction to change the gear then its very good to drive.

Fuel economy I am getting is not what i was told by salesman. I was told if I follow the instruction of changing gear i will get no less than 18kmpl. but i am getting FE between 13 to 16 kmpls. but in City with some time bumper to bumper traffic and AC 100% on all the time. Gears are just perfect.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is lil bouncy (little) but I love the way car goes around the corners. The suspension is balanced just fine between soft and firm.

 

Final Words I am getting low Fuel efficiency (but i was warned about this earlier buy by friend who have I20 Dsl sport) and I am still not able to find comfy seating position for me, but I still love the car , goes like rocket ( but need to keep it above 1800 RPM). cant wait to go for long trip in it. I love I20. Its the safest hatch available in India Rite now.

 

Areas of improvement I dont want to abuse here but, You Dumb Hyundai People you should give glove box lamp in your car. wiring is there slot is there and the lamp assy it available in HASS as genuine hyundai part but still you are cutting cost on lousy 118 bucks item. its pathetic. Should give Instant FE indicator (which is there on EU models) and bluetooth connectivity.

These are the things about car I have just mentioned the problem areas.

But if I compare cons and pros. The car have faar too many pros than cons. IF you are not concerned about high FE in city and want a safe hatch with loads of features both mentioned and hidden I suggest you go for it. I bought i20 because I believe rather than getting 18kmpl in city, I am happy to get FE of 15 to 16 kmpl if the car is more safe and reliable and good looking.

GO for I20.
