Hyundai i10 2008

5 star review

Did my research as needed a town car and Hyundai i10 ticked all the boxes: nippy, easy to park, cheap on fuel/tax, 5-door, air-con and haven’t been disappointed. Brilliant on long trips too as am quite tall female and appreciate leg room. On holiday in Cornwall with family, we ditched the 4-wheel drive in favour of the i10 and it easily accommodated 3 adults, 2 children, 1 dog, surfboards etc etc. Only down-side on my model is lack of rear windscreen wiper and wish now had paid extra for central locking. Although consider myself capable driver, sometimes this little gem of a car can be an irresistable target for the occcasional "bully boy drivers"! But I love this car and wouldn’t buy any other now - price is also unbeatable, really good value for money.

4 star review

My wife bought an i10 from a local garage and with just 6300 miles on the clock it just had to become her chosen motor. We drove 349 miles in it yesterday 02/04/11 and the i10 returned just over 56 mpg, which is not wildly adrift from the manufacturer’s claim for an average speed of 56mph. The left (clutch) foot rest is a mixed blessing, nice to have but not quite at the right angle to keep the average driver’s foot at a comfortable angle. But as most cars do not have such extras as standard it is nice to find. The downside of the large glass area is rapid overheating of the interior fortunately the standard air-con system is very fast turning a sauna into a fridge in very short order..shame it is not intelligent so it can be left on to maintain a preset temperature but on a £7K car one can expect only so much. Would I buy another? A good question. I love 3-cylinder engines so may find myself whizzing about in a White i10 Blue if I can afford it... Yes, the boot is small and legroom behind the driver is tight, but other than these minor set backs the i10 deserves to be on the must try list of anyone looking for a small economical four seat city car. As a Yummy Mummy Chariot it is probably too small for all the paraphernalia needed to entertain and carry small bodies, But for shifting tweenagers and adults they will probably find it acceptable...but not cool.

Hi, I had a 2007 Ford Focus TDCi Zetec which was rubbish (everything went wrong with it) until I wrote it off in November 2009. While I was waiting to find out if it was a write off the insurance supplied me with an i10 1.2 Comfort and I loved it. It was better equiped than my Focus, the Hyundai had MP3 Aux set up, 4 electric windows, Air Con, Alloys, Heated seats all for £7995!! And it was quite nippy and fun to drive. The cabin is solidly built and is very smart looking and its made with materials you can see are good quality compared to the usual c**p like the new Ka and Fiat 500. The only problem I encountered was being seen in it! It is a stylish little car but it isnt the type of car a 21 year old boy wants to be caught in, it’s a shopping trolley to be honest or a roller boot as my friends called it. If it wasn’t an old persons car and it had a diesel I would buy one. I now have my new 2010 308 2.0 HDi Sport 136 and I miss my i10, not the focus (it was awful, worst car I have ever bought).

Hyundai i10 Classic 2008

4 star review

So far I have done less than 1,000 miles, but I am enjoying every one. Cute external design that compares well with European options (and a lot cheaper), BIG on the inside with AC and CD/Radio as standard. Willing engine but no motorway mile muncher, really an ideal town car and I would not be surprised if teenagers take to it as a first motor, very stylish, fashionable even - all in all a good buy. Plus amazing 5 year unlimited mileage warranty. Great!
