Hyundai i10 Hatchback (2008 - 2013) 1.2 Style (2011) 5d (2011/61) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Practical, not the most boring, modern, careful with our pennies.

They like it. Nothing negative. People have commented on its spaciousness. Kids like the iPod attachment and everybody loves the heated seats!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes we would as it's a joy to drive. Simple to drive and easy controls with those special extras e.g. Electric sun-roof and heated seats that just don't come on any other car at this price.

What are you likely to buy next?

Same again or something like it. Maybe Skoda Citigo.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£7,950

November 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, we got £1,800 off the full price of the car by buying a pre-reg with 14 miles on the clock.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

100% capital allowances and very low co car benefit. Also came highly recommended.

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful. Easy to deal with.

What's it like to drive?

Controls are very light and car is easy to drive. Clutch very light so can stall setting off. Corners well. Accelerates sluggishly at low revs but once in power band quickly picks up. Great views all round as you're higher up.

What's it like to park?

Dead easy. Good turning circle. Good visibility all round.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Cigarette lighter innards have moved so making it difficult to plug in sat-nav. Drivers door sill trim cracked. Mpg has been very disappointing versus the manufacturers claimed 60mpg, and we drive carefully!

What's most practical about your car?

Drives easily. Spacious for a small car. Small turning circle. Easy to park. Four doors make for easy getting in and out.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Heated seats!
