    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior European looks,the front grill looks sporty,the bogy curvs are smooth and makes the car look more sedan like looks,the tail lights are inspired by the open astra 2007(europen model). Over all it looks uber cool!! will catch up the eyes of car fanotics!!

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interior plastic quality is good as compared to the other models of this segment,for eg:swift,fabia and figo.The combined 6 speakers,4 in all 4 doors and 2 tweeters in the front door give perfect surround sound and you wont need to add bass tube or subwoofer for bass,thanks to the 4 mono magnetic speakers by JBL,you can even connect you phone or ipod with the help of aux or usb cable.front leg room is more than enough while the rear seats can handel not more than 3 people comfortably.you get enough space in the boot to keep atleast 3 medium sized suitcases.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine performance is fair,the pick up is quick thanks to 1.2 kappa petrol engine curning out 90 bhp.fuel economy is SHIT,for us indians,most important aspect is the fuel economy,i20 would barely give you 9 kmpl on city trafic and 11 on highways,which the fuel prices going high,its gonna hurt you like a nail in you chest after every time you fill up your tank,gear box is kinda of messed up,i have 3 i20's,all of them have the same problem,the gear some times jammes in between R, which is quite irritating.

    Ride Quality & Handling The suspension of i20 is very soft or you can call it asfalt suspension,it NOT MEANT FOR INDIAN ROADS WITH THE PUD HOLES,within a year you will need to change your shockers so try to drive slow to bumpers or it will cost you around RS: 15000,

    Handling is as good as merc c-class,the steering wheel is a bit stiff,gives you better control than the super loose steering wheels.

    Final Words Overall its a good car, like all other cars it has it own weak points and good points.

    if you are about to perchase an i20, I would suggest to check out the swift and polo. Although its on your choice\...😟 thank you!

    Areas of improvement The quality of engine,suspension,brakes,gearbox and seats!

    I luv the music system,boot space,features and inteior quality.Fuel economy,(8 kmpl) 1.2 petrol engine,very bad quality of gearbox,clutch,suspension.
