Hyundai i10 Hatchback (2008 - 2013) 1.2 Active 5d (2011/11) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It says that I'm not interested in my car being a status symbol. I'm much more interested in practicality, fuel consumption, road tax cost and good quality build.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They are always pleasantly surprised by how much space there is inside - and one of my neighbours is well over 6 feet tall.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, definitely. Has everything I need for the price.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Hyundai.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£7,400

When did you buy the car?

July 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. There was a £1200 price drop at the time on the model chosen. Also, we got a very good trade-in deal for our existing car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was perfect in every way. No pressure whatsoever during the choosing/buying process and very friendly and approachable. A refreshing change from all of the other dealers we'd seen.

What's it like to drive?

Very smooth to drive. Good acceleration for its size. And comfortable at high speed due to the larger than average engine size.

What's it like to park?

Very easy to park being such a small car.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No problems to date.

What's most practical about your car?

It's a small car but is a 5 door hatchback and the roof is much higher than other cars in its class. So there's loads of space in the interior. Passengers are always pleasantly surprised by this.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Nothing specific, but it does have an excellent spec for the price/size of car.
