Hyundai i10 Hatchback (2008 - 2013) 1.2 Comfort 5d (2008/58) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Cheapskate - but with intelligence

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

No feedback - I think this is the ultimate in anonymous motoring

Would you buy this car again and why?

I never buy the same car twice - if I can afford another new car I want a different experience, otherwise you might as well keep the old one.

What are you likely to buy next?

I've got another 5 years of worry-free motoring. By then something new will have arrived. I do like the look of the Skoda Yeti, though....

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£7,200

When did you buy the car?

December 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

A fair deal as they threw in the black mica paint, mudflaps, rubber mats and a tank of petrol and knocked a grand off the price. It was the last week before christmas!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Bought to replace my Hyundai Getz which I gave (!!) to my daughter

What was the dealer like?

Very accomodating, although there was a mistake over the maths on the invoice and I'd have ended up paying £300 more than agreed if i hadn't noticed.

What's it like to drive?

Fun to drive - nippy and zippy, though a little choppy on bumpy roads.

What's it like to park?

Absolute piece of cake. Very small turning circle and excellent visibility all round - and I'm rubbish at parking.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

The economy

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Stereo aux in - I can listen to my MP3 player. Air con is pretty tasty at this level too.
