Just bought an i20 Asta.Prior to that I just had a short test drive as the dealer didn't have a demo car.Had heard a lot about this car being underpowered and I was slightly apprehensive about it.However,all my fears vanished as soon as I put my foot on the accelerator pedal.Super smooth acceleration,terrific manoeuvrability,great driving position for a 5'6" person due to height adjustable seat, butter smooth power steering which is not at all a disadvantage,convenient on steering controls,decent integrated audio system,efficient fully automatic climate control system ,large rear view mirror,cabin light on/off with remote key control,light in the boot are the features which can instantly impress any car lover.Rear seating space is adequate and so is the boot.
However,the only disadvantage I felt is not so good Ground clearance and somewhat average handling of rough roads and potholes although it handles the bigger bumps like speed breakers and rumble strips with ease ,literally gliding on them . However,considering all the pros and cons it is a great vehicle which delivers for every penny paid specially if compared to others in this segment viz.Honda Jazz and Skoda Fabia.
Thanks to Carwale.com for suggesting this car.

    Hi Samir, thanks for the review. I am planning to buy i20 next month. Lot of people are talking that its under powered and its sluggish in the second gear. Could you please tell me if its too bad in terms of pulling power.Is the pick up decent when AC is on? Can i20 over take other cars like swift,getz?

    Thanks in Advance,
    Harsha

    Hi Harsha,sorry for the delay.I was in a similar situation 1 month back. However,after 700 kms of in city driving I am not at all disappointed.Although,Swift is a bit faster ,this one is much smoother.Pulling power is adequate and it is not sluggish ,provided you are not too lazy in changing gears.Till now,I have no highway experience with i20 and I'm not in a position to comment precisely on overtaking.I will let you know about it at the earliest.But overall its a great package.Go for it.

    Furthermore,its pickup is quite decent even with AC on and anybody calling it bad is either expecting too much from a 1197cc engine or doesn't know how to drive a car.It may be Psychological as well when you come to know that the same engine is driving the much smaller i10 ,Cheers,Samir
