Sure-shot VFM; Best looking car in the segment, great features and best in comfort

Got my i20 Sportz (O) delivered on 31st May 2010.

 

Exterior: It surely is the best looking car in the segment. Hyundai has really done great styling to it. I got a Crystal White i20 and it looks amazing. Can locate it from a distance as it glows amongst the rest.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Got almost all features in Sportz (O) expect for alloy wheels, driver seat height adjuster, fog lamps, ABS and airbags (though did get driver airbag). the electronic ORVM is amazing and the AC & music system are fabulous.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: It is a bit slow to pickup in the 2nd gear, however after that the ride is great. The gear handling is so much more smoother than the Swift. Can't comment on the fuel economy as still driving on the 1st full tank of petrol.

 

Ride Quality & Handling: Car handling is comfortable. Havent tried it beyong 80kmph but looks like that the handling would change for the worse. This is my first car and i have driven Swift before. i20 is way ahead of it both in terms of ride quality and handling. The relatively lower ground clearnace does give it a nice handling.

 

Final Words: I wouldn't recommend any other car in this particular segment. Fiat Punto, Maruti Swift, Ford Figo doesnt it come near to it. Havent tried the VW Polo, but that also does not compare in terms of looks or VFM. My wife and myself are proud to own the "Uber Cool" i20.

Great looks, lots of features, ample space, Keyless entry.Slow pickup in 2nd gear, can't think of anything else!
