No problem Car

 

Car Driving and Maintenance Experience.

Never regretted of buying this car until Honda Brio came now because all cars including Polo and Etios Liva in this segment except Swift are lower than i10 in performance. Since Brio was launched just now, I don’t have to regret because there was no Brio when I bought i10. Driving experience was very nice, since I don’t have great driving experience only 3k driving experience, I never felt that the car lacked stability, did feel that initial pick was less but it was because I maintained 2k to 3k rpm range to shift the gears as instructed in the manual. 

Top Speed attempted was 140 wpm and never felt any vibrations or body roll whatsoever. Vehicle was steady. Always keep my speed in 80-110 range and did regret of doing that when Police caught me for breaking 80km/hr speed limit.

Climbing the hilly regions was bit difficult for this car. Car was breathing very hard, It was hardly moving in second and first gear. But let me tell you it was very high because people in that area do talk about the steep road in that area. Really wondered how can car which cruises 140km/hr on flat road struggled to climb high areas in 1 and 2nd gear. May be it’s the issue with all small cars. But the diesel engines like Qualis had not problems in climibing the same road with ease in 2nd gear where I was struggling in 1st gear.

Liked the interiors and the Dash Board and also dual trip meters, and also plastic quality of interiors is very nice. Boot space is also nice and 6 months of experience didn’t find any issues with the car. I travel very less only twice in weekends and car had not problem in starting all these 6 months. Never had problems with electronic steering wheel as written in blogs. Done 2700 km on the ODO and all I do is just put petrol and drive and nothing else and the free service which is 3rd awaiting in 6 months so.

About the mileage, since my vehicle is not run much I’m getting 11 kmpl with full A/C on in fully congested city traffic. And when I took it for a country side ride of 200 kms travel with full steep roads I got 18 kmpl with full A/C on. I think that’s pretty decent. So this is what i10 is all about, you’ll never regret when you buy it because it’s a no problem vehicle

Great Handling, Easy To rideStruggles steep roads, seriously undertyred
