i 20 review after 1st service

I would like to share my personal view on the i20 experience after driving around 1273 K.M in and around Cochin.

The positives of i20

·         Excellent style

·         The Automatic temperature control keeps you comfortable during long drives

·         Descent Audio system

·         Leg room inside the vehicle is superb in fact more than Hyundai – Verna and Swift

·         Suspension has been one of the weak points of all Hyundai and I feel with i20 Hyundai has hit the right formula with respect to the suspension.  People at back are really comfortable even after 4 hrs of drive.

·         Adjustable seats is an value add

Areas where Hyundai could have improved

·          Initial pickup: Hyundai has tried to eliminate the only drawback of i10, but has not succeeded fully, I would rather say Hyundai has tried to succeed 80%, you generally get a slow pick up till it touches 25-30 Kmph and just pulls great power after that. I don’t mind this attribute of i20 since I don’t participate in F1 nor the roads & traffic in Cochin are suitable for greater pick up.

·         Fuel Economy: It’s too early to comment but still I had a fuel economy of 12- 12.5 Km/liter. Please note that 30% of my drive was in city traffic conditions.
