Hyundai i10 (2014 - 2020) 1.0 SE 5d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
Bought from a dealer for £6,000 in metallic grey, to replace Citroen C3. Easy to park, enough room for two child seats in the rear with a decent rear crumple zone, unlike the C1/Up/Ka etc. It's like a tardis for adult seating. Comfortable seats, easy to drive, boot is large enough to get a Bee or stroller in.. Amazing around the city, easy to nip in and out of traffic. Took it from Sunderland to London and back in a day, brilliant on the motorway, put the speed limiter on at 70mph and you're in and out of traffic. That trip (600 miles) ran at over 70mpg. Haven't been out of the city for a fortnight but have driven 200 miles (without getting into 5th gear) in that time and it's averaged 53mpg in that time. It is a bit slow uphill. You do need to push the revs a bit, but that's one of two minor complaints. The other is how easily it mists up, the AC sorts this out, but I'd hate to have the non-AC S version. Noise is really low, handling is direct, it's not exciting, it's practical. I'll replace this i10 with another...... eventually.
How reliable do you find the car?
Bought it from a dealer for the security of the remainder of the 5 year warranty, with 10,000 on the clock and 2 years left on the warranty it's cheap motoring with good security for failures. Just make sure the log book has its stamps, and that you keep up to date with the services.Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
After rattling about in a C3, it was a fresh revelation. Even though it's a city car it is being used as the family car with our two youngest. Our two eldest who have moved out have been shuttled around too, and at 6 foot 3 they fit in fine. It isn't going to compete with bigger machines, but as far as practicality goes, it outstrips it rivals. Well built and solid, practical tough, easy to clean interior.About their car
