Hyundai i20 Hatchback (2009 - 2014) 1.2 Comfort 5d (2011/11) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

An irrelevant question. Car 'image' is something that doesn't bother us as it clearly matters to others.

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

They like it

Would you buy this car again and why?

Maybe. The suspension and seating need revamping. This car's replacement will have a much longer test drive and not just a run round the houses which never reveals a car's true characteristics.

What are you likely to buy next?

We'll see what's available in three years time

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

June 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

With Motability, you can't negotiate a price.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Acquired under the Motability scheme

What was the dealer like?

I've come across worse.

What's it like to drive?

Steering seems a bit dead in the straight ahead position and doesn't self-centre very convincingly. Very quiet and little windnoise. The suspension is very firm - almost harsh, and the front seats are very hard.

What's it like to park?

Easy

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

It's loaded with a lot of optional equipment within the basic price.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Air-con
