Go for i10 sportz version

 

Exterior The exteriors are the best in its segment. No other car matches it. When I bought the car in Nov, 2009 It was like love at first sight. The head lights, mirrors, etc are too good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I was looking for spacious interior in this segment and i10 sportz  1.2 kappa  has rally fulfilled it. The seats are comfortable and the steering is easy to handle. The location of gear handle is such that it becomes easy to operate with least effort. The music system is good andoverall the fully loaded version is value for money.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I  bought my i10 in nov'09 and uptill now I have not faced any problem with my car. Not even one I had to open the bonnet. If timely and regular service id done (As per company manual) then I dont think this car will have any problem. The pick-up is good, power steering is comfortable and maneuvering is easy. With A/c I am getting a fuel economy of 14-15 kmpl and with out A/c around 16-17 kmpl.

 

Ride Quality & Handling As I mentioned earlier, the car is very comfortable and easy to maneuver. It is made for city driving i.e even in heavy traffic you will feel easy to drive. When it highway, you wont feel that you are driving. It just glides on the highway. Too good to explain my Express highway experience. 5/5.

 

Final Words Any body who is planing to buy a car in 5-6 L budget should go for i10 sportz version. It is fully loaded with power windows, power steering, music system hence looking at broader picture, it is really value for money. If you insist and have power to convince your dealer then you may also get some free-bees like mats, seat covers etc.  One more advise always purchase company made seat covers and Car cover. They fit well and look good.

 

Areas of improvement None as of now.
