Hyundai i10 [2010-2017] User Reviews

I have just taken delivery of i10 magna sunroof.. it will take time to write a detailed review...

but one gross manufacturing blunder i came across is this:

The Parking Light lever on the right hand side of the stearing wheel has three positions:

1.OFF position

2. Parking ON

3. Headlight ON.

This is also mentioned in the operation manual (Page 6/42)

but actually parking lights are turned OFF when the lever is in parking light position (position 2) and the parking lights are turned ON when the lever is in OFF position..(position 1). :-(

when i asked the sales person about it after taking the delivery he said its a manufacturing blunder...

other owners please give me feedback on this ..

i was a regular customer of maruti with whom i was dealing since many years. when i was planning a new car my obvious choice was from maruti. but when i saw i 10, i was ready to deal with  a new company.

but i am sorry to state that it was a horrible experience. now i realize why does maruti always top in customer satisfaction.

the dealer at rajpura(punjab) lied at every step. never take any of the words of hyundai people 4 granted. they can lie at ur face without feeling ashamed of it.

I bought an I10 in June 2008. Ever since I bought my I10, I have been having problems with it. Changing gear from second to first is very very hard. The service people have taken the car for servicing more than a few times to fix this problem unsuccessfully. Three weeks back I met with an accident wherein a lady hit my car headon overtaking another vehicle. I saw the car and braked and my car had come to a complete stop when the other car hit me. The other car must have been traveling around 15-20km/hr. I had a damage worth 58K rupees. However my biggest issue was the airbag never deployed even though there was a major impact (I had to get my radiator, condensor and fan replaced) and a head on collision. However the sensor which was supposed to help trigger the airbags broke and I had to shell out 12K rupees (50% had to be borne by the insurance) total cost of the sensor is 23K rupees. I spoke to the Hyundai area manager (South) and he gave me the technical jargon that the car has to be hit at a particular angle and has to be decelerating at a particular speed etc etc for the airbag to deploy (remember my car had come to a complete stop). To me it did not make any sense. Then he started quoting the international certification they have got for the airbags. I was comparing I10 and Maruti Swift and the only reason I went in was due to the airbags in I10. Now I think I made the wrong decision. You be the judge on whether the airbag in I10 is useful.

reasonable fuel economy, easy parkingpoor safety features, poor service, gear box problems.

 

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.

 

Good Total PackageFuel economy average

 

Exterior Exterior are good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Boot space is gud as 3 person in back seat can seat comfortably. A new feature is introduced like if you run the on high speed with low gear it show in display that  what gear to be used with this RPM.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is gud. I drove this car up to 200 km and right now I m getting the fuel evereage in between 15-16(AC not used) in city traffic condition( Ghaziabad to delhi).

 

Ride Quality & Handling Handling this car is superb. gear shift and EPS(Electronic power steering) is very comfrtable.

 

Final Words I very nice car. I purchased era irde2 2 days back and enjoing the driving. Cabin is very silent as if you push the car speed upto 100km/h you will get only sound from the tyres only :).

 

Areas of improvement Nothing much overall a gud car. Plastic used in the car is of good quality.

 

Good fuel economy, Good comfort.Not found...:) Overall a good car

 I bought i10Era  from Harsh Hyundai Indore . I am having the pickup issue so that visit the harsh Hyundai service canter

 

The technician tells me that the pickup issue is due to catalytic converter so that need to be replaced.

 

My car war running only 8000KM, How come it stops working so soon? Technician say that this kind of issue is rarely and catalytic converter choke because of quality of fuel,

My question is only that if this kind of issue is rarely and issue because of quality of fuel then why other vehicle not having this kind of issue?.

 

Did I make any mistake to buy this i10Era? I am too frustrated as they said this won’t be covered in warranty and charge for this issue would be approximate Rs.22, 000 .

Final Words

 DO NOT BUY THIS CAR UNLESS U WANT TO USE AND THROW UR CAR IN 1 YEAR

 Company need to listen as least customer problem

I am planning to buy a car and had test driven i10. The drive was quite comfortable,
Pros
a) very good power steering
b) cool interiors
c) smooth gear shift
d) powerful AC

Cons
a) I found the pickup to be very moderate with AC on

I want to book it but have a major concern, I read that there are no crash impact beams (side or front) in i10.
Doesn't it make this car very vulnerable and if it is a flaw, How could it be rated Car of the Year
 Or there is some superior mechanism.

I have searched a lot in the web regarding safety issues for  i10, but could not get much info.

 On the other hand, there is a good info on Safety aspects of Santro Xing which includes

a) dual member side impact protection

b) Crumple zone to absorb frontal impact

c) Ultra high strength steel members built onto doors

d) Collapsible steering colum

There is a EuroNCAP safety certification for i30 and Getz, but not for i10. This makes me more concerened

very good power steering, cool interiors, smooth gear shift , powerful ACI found the pickup to be very moderate with AC on

With city traffic getting crazier each day, we thought it would be nice to get small car with an auto box. There is not much to choose from in the AT segment if you don't want the Santro or the WagonR. I recall the Santro's auto box to be really crappy. That's the expectation I went with when Continental Hyundai got the car to us for a test drive. Boy was I wrong. This box is superb, the car feels potent from the word go and it's not like I stepped on the pedal.

The car has good road manners, not much body roll and handles well. The steering seems a tad light and could perhaps do with a little bit of more feedback. The braking is top notch. Acceleration is nice and the down shift when you hit the gas is not jerky like the older auto boxes. Wider tyres could perhaps be made standard.

Rear seating is comfortable for short rides. There is no practical use of the boot. A few shopping bags is perhaps all it can be used for effectively.

We drove the car in about 35 Deg of afternoon heat and I was surprised with the air-conditioning. It was doing a great job. 4 people, no tints and it was cooling very nicely.

As per my analysis, resale would also be good and comparable to that of the levels of the Santro. An addition of some better colour options would be nice. Currently most colours on offer are ghastly.  

I'd say a good buy as a 1st city car, or a second car used mainly in the city in traffic.

 

The automatic gear box is a delightVery narrow in driver and co driver well, Even a folded baby stroller does not fit into the boot

i10 kappa is the best car in hatchback segment.It has stylish interior, powerful engine, good fuel ecnomy and sporty exterior.I search for many cars and take test drive of ritz, astar, indica vista,punto . Ritz is good in performance and spacious but cheap plastic used ,dashboard and igear is copy of i10,rear view is badlooking. others car are also not comprable with i10. i10 give good mileage of 14 km/l (with ac)and very good performance in hilly areas in J&K.The front seats head rest are very comfortable.There is everything in i10 one can required in small car. If any one want to buy car in small segment Go fearless for i10 and enjoy the driving.Stylish interior and exteriorwidth of tyre
