Now first thank you Hyundai for launching the i10 first in India. In fact the car is also completely designed in India and manufactured too. What this means is that the customer in India gets a world class product.
Whats good:
Looks good, better than most hatchbacks in the same category.
Its a 1.1 engine which it shares with the Santro and the Getz Prime 1.1.
It has tubeless tyres. Now its easy to get tubeless types repaired and they are convenient so you don’t get stuck in the middle of the highway with a flat tyre.
Option of sunroof, not much use when its hot, but some people fancy it.
Motor Driven Power Steering, better than Santros Hydraulic Power Steering.
Tilt Steering: You can adjust the steering wheel. A boon for tall/well built people.
Good driver legroom.
High scores on safety:
Option for ABS and airbags.
Whats Not good:
Front seat headrests are not adjustable.
No high seating like the Santro, which is a boon to people with knee problems.
Safety features: Airbags and ABS are optional, why not make them standard?
Now the car didn’t take away all the awards just like that? It was the Car of the Year of most of the Auto magazines in India. Its likely to replace the Santro at some point of time but Santro buyers/users need not worry. From what I have heard, the sales of Santro is very good today and is not likely to be discontinued anytime soon.

dear,
i would like yo know which is the better car I 10 kappa / Swift LXIor VXI / Zen Estilo. Please let me know
Need an advice..
I need a car for my parents ( not a choice of santro as we already got 3 in the family ). My father travels once a week for approx. 500 kms primarily on highways, should be small enough for town area manoeuvrings with atleast decent sitting space for all for long rides, has to be fuel efficient , need good front leg space as my father is an amputee and uses prosthetic s. my budget would be around 3.5- 4L. Thought of Wagon R Duo.. but am not impressed with its look and feel. Please help !!

Hi,
Is Hyundai i20 getting released soon? I read this in getinfo4me website. If so what would be the price and time of launch. The information given in the site is not sufficient.
Also how different is this new model from i10. I could see some difference in the looks but i need a detailed comparison. Also what will be the price tag for this

The HYUNDAI i10 is the best hatchback from hundai
i10 is a gud car in reasonable price. my friend has got a i10 sports and last nite we had gone for a long drive.. it was really a good time. i own a a swift. last nite i drove i10 first time in my life. its really easier to change gear or press clutch than swift.
In i10 very good gearshifting, nice driving comfort and better judgement while driving, very good cooling and very good power steering but not much fuel efficient that is the main drawback. Otherwise the best car to buy blindly……..
