Catch the i

I bought i10 in January 2008. When I decided to buy a 4 wheeler, I did some research and shortlisted Santro, i-10 from Hyundai and Spark from Chevrolet. Spark: I had almost purchased this vehicle when one of my friends warned me against chevrolet service. They are not good at that. Also with the second look, I thought the vehicle is too compact. So finally I went to Hyundai showroom. Santro and i10 are similar looking vehicles. So I thought why not go with the latest model. and finally I decided to get i10. Fortunately my decision didnt prove wrong. Looks: It is a gr8 looking vehicle. interiors are really great. It feels like a sedan from inside. Moving gearbox to the front is a good move. Beige colored interior gives a rich look to the vehicle. Handling: handling is soo smooth. Gear changing, steering wheel handling is really awesome and you feel very relaxed while driving the car. Engine makes no noise and it becomes hard to detect whether the ignition is on when vehicle is neutral. Turning radius is also pretty good (probably better than Santro). You are ensured to get a smooth, chillaxed ride in i10. Performance: I was a bit disappointed on the mileage front. It doesnt give more than 11-12 in city. This can be because only 1 servicing has been done. But I expect it to be at par with Santro.I am not a speed-crazy guy. But I have driven at 100 kmph and man this vehicle was moving swiftly at ease. No stretching noises felt. AC is also powerful.I am also not satisfied with the boot space. Dealer: I purchased it from Shreenath Hyundai showroom . On-road price was 4.63 lakhs. I was not completely satisfied with hyundai people. No discounts, no free gifts (Not even ganesh idol...) Problems faced: I have faced a slight gearbox problem. It gets locked while shifting to 1st gear. It is a little irritating. I dont know the cause. I will get it checked in this servicing. Overall I am satisfied with this vehicle. No major problems faced yet. This is a gr8 hatchback with gr8 looking interiors and smooth ride. So if you are looking for a hatchback, catch the i.Good style,Good interiorsLess Boot space
