The Hyundai i10 has been a driver's paradise, for sheer driving pleasure. It's been about 4 months since I purchased the i10 Magna. The car feels like an absolute toy, especially for city handling. In a place like Mumbai, you really couldn't have asked for anything better in terms of handling. Its a luxurious small car with sedan like interiors, that makes you feel like a king despite its size. It has a fantastic gear system which is stylised on the front console, unlike all other cars. The pick-up is quite superb and you can feel it every single time you drive past a signal, alongside other small cars or even some of the sedans.
The interiors are not only luxurious but also very spacious and space utilised very well. It doesnt look so big from the outside but when your in, it is alarmingly spacious! Try sitting on the rear seats and you'll know what I mean.


However, I was VERY disappointed with the mileage. For a small car like the i10 to give a mileage of 9-10km/litre in the city is quite sad as compared to any other small car. I have finished one servicing, the 2nd one being due in October. The boot space as well, could have been a little better. However, it really doesn't matter much if your using this car for city driving.


All in all, I think if you are ready to forgo the poor mileage, it's a car one can be proud to own. However, with the increasing fuel prices, im not so sure...!

    hi,
    hitesh,well said for such a tiny-car(smaller then spark)very poor mileage plus too expensive. also, so called 80PS at 6200+rpm ,which is impossible in normal used. to reach 6200+rpm t'meter may cross red-line which is bad. 80ps is just on paper. for Indian Comfort , Mileage & Service is must.
    those who were eyeing at i10 must go for maruti swife,splash or xink-1.1lt. basically-actually,hyundai car=v.poor mileage
