If you are about to purchase Hyundai car this Review will definitely help you a lot to make your final decision.
DON'T go ahead just by seeing Hyundai car's flashy exteriors and good internal features. These are not something which you will see on a long run.
I have been using Hyundai i20 for more than 3 years and drove around 50,000 Kms.
The worst thing about Hyundai cars is that they have only spent on flashy exteriors and interiors but don't have anything in their engine. This car provides one of the worst engines performance and milage as comapared to same segment cars from other brands like Maruti Suzuki, Ford and Volkwagen.
During purchase of my car, sales representative told me that this car will easily give you an average of 14 kmpl in city and 16 kmpl on highways. I was fine with these numbers. Even city average of 13kmpl and highway average of 15 kmpl was acceptable to me. But this car can't give me average of more than 11.5 in city run and 13.5 on highway run. Trust me on this, I drive very well (I have driven cars to Leh, Kaza and many other difficult terrains as well as one of the best roads in India like Yamuna Expressway), no one can get an average of more than 13.5 kmpl with this car. If you don’t believe me then ask sales representative to show you “KPL” test of the car in front of you. I am very sure, he will not entertain you much after this and will not take you on “KPL” test.
Trust me this average will make you feel betrayed till the time you will use this car and go for refuelling.
Recently I have launched a serious complaint to Hyundai customer support and found that Hyundai does not claim their car average (mileage) on their official website. Whereas other equivalent car brands like Maruti Suzuki (swift) and Volkswagen (polo) do claim the car average (see it yourself on the official websites under the performance tab and then by selecting the engine type i.e. petrol or diesel). After checking this, anyone can understand why Hyundai is not claiming any mileage for their engines on their official websites. And one more thing after your complaints, the customer support will surely call you and do some random checks or will provide you free service but again in the end this will never solve your purpose.

Exterior - Excellent
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) - Features are Excellent, Space is adequate and comfort is OK. Boot space is reasonably good.Not sure about the comfort of the rear passengers if it is 3
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox - 2 out of 10 occasions , reverse gear is not working properly
Ride Quality & Handling: In the higways, Some times pick up is a problem especially in the 2nd gear
Final Words - Overall a very good car. It took me almost 6 months to thinking of a CAR to PARK the car in front of the residence. Being a beginner, I thought of a 2nd hand car, learn to drive and not to worry about the scratches and other small mistakes you do because of inexperience. I spent first 3 months in search of a suitable 2nd hand car and neverr liked one. The decided to go for a new and test driven some...Fiat Punto, Etios cross, WW Polo, Maruthi Swift, Grand i10 and finalised...its going to be Grand i 10 and given advance as well. After 2-3 days visited again to finalise the colour, saw a new Elite i 20 in the show room and changed my mind
Areas of improvement - Engine capacity to be increased from 1.2 to 1.3 considering the kerb weight of 1000+kgs.Not able to realise as there is no such feature. but to know the speed,both dial & digital features are available ....why?
ABS should not be a feature; It should be part of the standard requirements in all the variants
Design, styling, Looks from all the angles1.2 engine is not sufficient for a petrol car, No provision to know the mileage

Exterior: Excellent,high window line,big tyres ,and head lights with eyebrows..and the best part the backlights
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort):reasonable features inside,nice music system with radio, little cramp in the back may be good for two obese guys,much stiffer shockabsorbers for indian roads.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Overall good performance at three figure speed,smooth in traffic,its ok 15-17kmpl on highway with AC,gearbox smooth but not for racing.
Ride Quality & Handling: Best in class,even at 150kph it feels planted, handling is smooth in traffic..i guess thats what matters...
Final Words: Perfect combination of style and power at a budget price.Much advance and better looking car when the whole world is trying to cement their place in India in the auto segment, this stylish car is truely the ELITE and is going to give tough competition in the hatchback segment.
Areas of improvement:I don't see any...may be a little more space in the rear and mudguards needs little more curve to hold the splash from slicing back into the body.
Styling is just what matters and it has got a whole lot of it.Little more power would have made it live up to its european look.
