Hi friends, first of all i would thank all people whose online reviews helped me in selecting my new car. I got i-10 Sportz model on 1st Jan 2009.
Like others I had a detailed look on other options before finalizing this one. My range was 3.5 to 4.5lacs. My daily usage is around 20kms. And my highway usage is twice in a quarter. Primarily I compared i-10, Swift petrol/diesel, Spark and A-Star. My focus was to have a car with good engine, comfort, design, reliability and Fuel efficiency offcourse. My 3 weeks analysis made me narrow down to i-10 Sportz. And I am very happy for my decision so far, though I will recommend that if your daily run is more than 40kms then go for Swift diesel.
The only and minor issue with i-10.....I felt initially, was color of dashboard. It should be bit more dark to minimise the reflection on sunny day drive. (But this has improved AC effectiveness). Now may be I am habitual I don't feel any problem due to the color.
Mileage part:
Till date my i-10 has covered approximately 755kms including city and highway drive (Chd to Jpr). I checked its average (tank full to tank full),
a nice average of 17.7 km/ltr even prior to 1st service. I am quite satisfied with this mileage and hope it will increase further after 1st and 2nd service.
On highway I avoided crossing speed of 100......but still I would say that it is quite stable and smooth on highway at high speeds. City drive is also very enjoyable and comfortable.
Now I will be refueling it at Jpr to check its average again., and will update you all…..
Have fun & drive Safe!!Gr8 style, gud design, gr8 engine, nice fuel economy, awsome drive!!haven't found any!!!
