• Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    I'm not sure a car can ever say anything about a person. All cars that are over 10 years old end up in the scrapyard. Luckily people don't.

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

    They think its great.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    The price is key to whether I would buy the new model i20. There is a danger that Hyundai and Kia make their cars too expensive when compared with decent cars such as the Mazda 2 or the Yaris.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Since I travel about 45K miles per year; I am very impressed with the Hyundai warranty. I like the look of the ix20.
