Looks are deceptive, its not as good as it seems. I drove this car and santro. Both are not comfortable to drive. And to be true its accleration of both the cars is worst in its class.Initial pick up is good but when you push harder it just screams more and moves less. Its very scary too when you drive at high speeds and its fuel economy(Santro) is worst of all. Don't know about i10, but i think its gonna be much worse. Power steering is good so is the brakes.Good car if you drive slowly on CNG but if you like it rough then this is not the car to buy. And its gear box not as poor as WagonR  but is very poor indeed. Interiors are stolen from Honda city which looks good but is too large for a small car and eats up a lots of space. Its looks good when you sit in , but when you use it everyday gradually you feel the need to rip off the dashboard. And last not the least its very ugly to look at, even santro looks better than this. They could have removed santro's dashboard and fit i10's. Thats it. Its like buying this car to sell it off as soon as possible and get a new one ( not this one again ).

This message is specielly for Mr. rajeev. Sir i would like to tell yoy that hyundai products are far far better than maruti. In reliability there is no comparison of hyundai cars. If we talk about the santro and i10 the both are the most succesful cars in indian market. I10 is the most comfortable car of its segment with a pioneer engenniering of engines like Kappa and irde. If we compare with maruti just tell me 1 car who beats them. Wagon - scary handling, unbalanced, low mileage, low quality of plastic and a cheap quality maruti service. Alto and astar we cant compare these cars with them. They are good only for 4 people because of less space and a three cylinder less powerd engines. Today hyundai is the india's second largest auto manufacturer. I have a santro of 99 model and i would say its still going well. giving me a milege of 18 on highway and 15 of in city driving.

Daulat Khemani Ahmedabad I have recently bough i10 era, good looking, better interior, but light color dashboard reflect on wind screen when you drive in day time

Both i-10 and Getz from Hyundai are Very Very good vehicles and value for money after recent price cut. I am using Maruti 800, Wagon-R, Indica and Getz Prime and frankly I am fully satisfied with the Getz for its Performance except fuel economy. i-10 Kappa is also having a very good engine in comparison to A-Star which has only 3 cylinder engine. Also the quality of interiors of Hyundai is far far better than Maruti. A-Star reduced interior space to reduce the weight for its 3 cylinder engine

Hey Devkumar (Maruti salseman) Does Maruti pay you for writing this. All reviews abt any hyundai car have your same stupid comments. Write only if you have a genuine review. Not your stupid crap. Grow up.

Dear Mr Rajeev Would request you to own an i10. And I ensure your opinion will change. And am sure you dont own 1, hence no point in duscussing with you about the performance or the lovely features this car gives. My advice: Please own this then comment.

Rajeev Yadav on 29 May, 2008 at 12:05 PM

well if all those specs(1's which r more important)are true, then why don't it comes true as well.I can't drive a car that goes 350 km in tank full, even a maruti 800 can upset in regards of acceleration. And apart from that maintenance for these cars are very high and to be done every 4000 -5000km. And if you are a sport you cannot take these bullock carts to the limit. And every car hyundai comes up with, resembles a frog look. Can't fish in a pond full of frogs.Srry if u have 1.
