Hyundai i20 Hatchback (2009 - 2014) 1.4 Comfort 5d (2009/09) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Don't follow the crowd. Expect good value for money.

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

Passengers always have positive comments about the car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, I like it more now than when I first bought it and when I see it parked among others it looks very stylish!

What are you likely to buy next?

Hyundai/Suzuki/Toyota - something with low/no tax and low insurance.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£10,600

When did you buy the car?

August 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, as I towed my Laguna in and received £3,500 scrappage discount off the car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

For the safety features and roomy for a family of four.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent, though they no longer deal in Hyundai.

What's it like to drive?

It is great around town and does around 42mpg. Motorway driving is a pleasure, and the safety features give you confidence.

What's it like to park?

Very good to park as there is plenty of visibility.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The accelerator is a problem as the revs die and you almost stall, though I have become accustomed to this. I stalled the car three times driving out of the showroom and put it down to me not being used to driving it. I am due to have a fifth(!) cable (new version?) fitted. Other than that I have had no other problems.

What's most practical about your car?

Plenty of headroom (my teenage sons' heads were touching the roof of the new Fiesta). Plenty of room in the boot for two dogs.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

USB; heated mirrors; trip; air con.
