Hyundai i20 [2012-2014] User Reviews

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is a bit slow to repond, the Ignition system and Lock and ABS and Power windows are defective and Hyundai has not told the public.

Faulty Ignition Key and Lock I have a i 20 sportz recently about a month ago the Ignition Key got stuck in the key hole and it just would not start. I had to call the service center and got it towed to the workshop. The Muralinagar service center said that the complete key set has to be replaced and it costed me a walloping Rs18,000/- My complaint is that the Ignition Lock and key are defective as even before it failed completely, there were problems of the key not functioning perfectly it would turn on smoothly. I strongly feel that there is a manufacturing defect in the Lock set which Hyundai is not disclosing. I had previously owned Maruti, Fiat and Tata vehicles but none had basic mechanical failure. I impress upon Hyundai to take a call on this and refund the amount at least.

Now a few days ago another problem has developed, the ABS indicator is not going off and the service center says it will cost Rs7000/- to change the part concerned. I am totally disappointing with HYUNDAI CARS and have decided not to buy HYUNDAI anymore, as I was considering the CRETA.

Ride Quality & Handling Bumpy.

Final Words Would nto recomend this car to friends and social media.

Areas of improvement Plenty ABS, IGNITION SYSTEM AND LOCK AND POWER WINDOWS.

Areas of improvement After sales. I bought it in Aug 2012 and I am really happy to own it. It drives fantastic and pick up is mind blowing. I had driven it even past 170km/hr. Only problem I faced is with dealer, I had not received registeration number till now, I deposited tax on Nov 1,2012. car met with a minor accident and the denting job was not satisfying with number of faults. Even there is dispute regarding the insurance and dealer is threating me regarding judicial action. I personally feel that after sales is the worst I have ever experienced. They are not at all intrested in your problems regarding the car after you bought it. They make false commitments. These views are regarding Godawri Ludhiana. Car is best and dealer is worst.

Looks, features and pick upAfter sales service

The buying process was smooth. Applied for a loan through Bank Of Maharashtra. The loan was passed in 5 hrs flat !!!

Took the delivery on March 30, 2013. Have done about 600 km till date. are Here are some thoughts.

Positives: The looks. It definitely is a head turner. Everthing about the car has a premium feel to it. The rear parking camera is one of the most important features. Works like a charm.The car is so silent, doesnt feel as if I am driving a diesel car. 6 gears are a boon. The car, being in run in period, I havent gone over 80 kmph yet. But the car cruises at 1.5k RPM easily at 80 KMPH in 5th gear and you hardly hear a sound in the car. The pick up is really great. And to compliment it the breaks are good too.  The DRLs enhance the looks of the car. On the negative I see people asking me to turn off the light during daylight. The gear shift indicator does help a lot especially for new drivers.

Currently I am getting an overall avg of above 17 kmpl, 70% highway travel, 30% bumper to bumper traffic with AC on 100% of the time.

Negatives: The infamous turbo lag. But I don’t find it too worrisome. With the AC on there are time when the car picks up in the second gear at 18 kmph at 1.5k rpm, though it take 3-4 seconds to react. The car really gets bumpy when u get a smooth road with undulations. You need to slow down a bit. The suspension is too soft for my liking. The headlights don’t seem too powerful. I will get an upgrade in coming months. Will need your suggestions.

Please feel free to shoot your queries.

Exterior Very good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Give you the feel of a sedan. Leg space is the best in the segment.
