Performance meets comfort

The Hyundai i20 is a wonderful car which I used for 1month. It looks sharp and sporty, which gives a performance mood, and its performance is not bad, which is good in the segment. Hyundai services are much better, and fuel efficiency is not bad. and comfort when I drive this car, I have confidence, which I didn't get from other cars in the segment.
