ஹூண்டாய் i10 [2010-2017] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

I am driving hyundai I10 Era model for last 3 months. I have been on a long drive on a highway for more than 300kms, it is a much better car than any of the other cars in the same segment.

It look great, it is very comfortable with more leg room in both rear and front seat.

The gear is mounted towards the dashborad which gives it a sporty look and gives you more space where the gear used to be.

The long drive was no problem as i could drive 120kms (although it can run faster) without any issues

the car have better control and it gives a better rear view from the driver seat as compated to Santro.

I will definately recomend this car.

Great Looks, Comfortable, Spacious (more than Santro) and other improved featuresWell may be milagle is a bit less than santro .

Exterior very classic ..am having black color...desert black ..Only issue is black needs lot of maintenance. also these paints are not anti static. generally black color coat should have some anti static compound.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) good enough, space is also ok ok. dash board is good and feels like big car. windscreen also wisely placed. front view is fine.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox once you are on highway, 4th & 5th gear are awesome as you can easily pick up speed upto 140kmph without efforts....

Ride Quality & Handling It gives very poor power on 2nd gear with AC on. It takes hell lot of time to overtake and many compact car will overtake you at that stage. Maruti is good in 2nd gear or 3rd gear.city riding is not so exciting.

Final Words just cant say it is better than any of maruti car in its segment. Need better painting quality.

Areas of improvement need to improve power transmission ratio of 2nd and 3rd gear....lot of improvement required.anti static coat is expected for black color.

 

good exteriors & dash boardnot so comfy inside, feels like no power when on 2nd gear & AC ON. It feels like riding a bicycle

Exterior Good looking car, Looks compact from outside but spacious from inside.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is nice keeping in mind the other hatchbacks. The new color of dashboard is appealing.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good power, Fuel economy is a concern and gearbox is doing fine.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent and handling is superb. I like the light hearted steering wheel.

Final Words After a complete research of good 3 weeks, I decided to go for i10 Magna 1.2 kappa2 as it was also falling in the budget. I have also test driven Beat (diesel and petrol both), Santro etc. but liked this small wonder a lot. I was looking for such a beautiful looking car. The car greets you with a nice interior and is spacious. Hyundai has done a nice job with some new features like indicators on ORVMs and electronic adjustment or ORVMs from inside, have also provided child lock on the driver's door and have also changed the color of dashboard from beige which gives the car an aesthetic feeling. There is enough space in the rear seat for 3 people. The best part of the car is the Super Coolllll A/C. I have not used it at full capacity as it gives me good cooling even at 2.

The power steering is also wonderful in the car. I was keen on getting Beat Diesel but on my partner's insistance, I bought white color i10 magna 1.2 which gives a royal feeling. It is one of the best hatchbacks of current time in 4-5 lacs budget.

Though I have only driven a few hundred kilometers but I must say that it is indeed a wonderful car. If economy is not too much of a concern then this is a decent car in it's segment. I feel good when I see my car being parked in front of my house which gives me a feeling that I have made the right decision. I believe in giving an honest feedback and that's what I bring in front of all the people who are willing to buy a car and look for honest feedback.

If anyone who likes to drive at a speed of 70-80 kM/hr, then they can also go for CNG Version of i10 which gives you almost equal power like petrol and will get better Fuel economy on highways.

I would keep posting my reviews on the car when it crosses 1000, 5000 and 10000 KMs mark.

Areas of improvement 40/60 rear seats should have been provided, an integrated audio system in i10 magna 1.2 would be an add on. Hyundai needs to look at improving the FE of the car which could be a cause of concern for many in these tough times when petrol prices are touching the sky and is burning a hole in the pocket.

Exteriors and interiors,Fuel economy which is around 12 KMPL

Hi, I have advanced for i 10 Era yesterday. I have taken it for a test drive. It is nice.

I hope it will give a better milege.

i was told the carrier could not be fixed at the top. I hope the suitable carrier is not available in the market.

Rear seat is not having the facility to doublefold like Hyuindai santro to give more boot space.

Very good appearance and fuel economyRear seat is not having the facility to doublefold like Hyuindai santro to give more boot space

I love my i10.  It is less than a month since I have bought it and even though I am disappointed in the milage... getting only around 11 km/L overall.  I do not travel much now so I do not really feel the fuel efficiency is a big factor for me right now but once I start travelling more and more I guess my views might change and also I am expecting that after the first and second service things will improve.

Been to the hills and been to the plains and my car mastered them all with panache.  Never lacking zip and zoom and always responsive even going uphill in munnar and packing the power to leave all peers standing at the traffic lights.  A car that both men and woman will love.  My wife was not very enthusiastic about the car but the performance in the test drive won her over and once we bought the car she has not even once said anythng negative about the car.

She loves to put her foot down when there is less traffic.  The car is so easy to drive that you will find her behind the wheel whenever she can manage it.. :-).  Guess that should say it all...

Good Style, Comfort, pickup,Milage before first service is dissapointing

Hi, I bought Hyundai i10, 1.2 magna automatic in Feb 2009. I have completed 1500 kms. I was looking for a good compact car as my second car.  Earlier I bought Maruti Zen Estilo VXI ABS, but had to sell it off withing 4 months due to poor performance. Since I am using Mitsubishi Cedia since Dec 2006, it was very difficult to find the match in compact/small car segment, until I took a test drive of i10 1.2ltr.

I am pleased with the engine performance- absoulutely noise less and responsive, generates enough power at a reasonably low rpm (no need to push throttle padel to hard) and so the best fuel economy in its class. I got 12/13 kms in city and 16/17 kms on highways with automatic transmission. The quality of interior & exterior is at par with high end luxury cars. Smooth drive, Good control & feel safe even at 130/140kmph.

The only thing I noticed is weak front suspension system compared to other hyundai vehicle such as getz(used for 3 years) and Accent. The suspension system doesn't absorb shocks even while jumping on small patholes. The ride becomes bumpy on ruff roads with lots of noise from steering rack. Hyundai should have used similar shock absorders as in getz 2006 model. This only problem makes you feel like you are driving small car like maruti 800/zen/alto/santro etc. 

Worth to buy.

Good interior,handling

Dear Friends.. I will not go into any tech stuff becoz that is something seceral sites will provide .. I am here to tell u my first hand experience ...

Begining with cons :-

1) The inside rear view mirror is fixed to the front glass .. It vibrates and makes rear viewing difficult when u are driving ur car at low RPM ...

2) I feel that too much glare comes from approaching vehicles. I felt that other cars show lesser glare. I dont know why, maybe it has something to do with glass quality or chemical composition.

3) Hyundai claims that thier positioning of gear knob on front panel is better and Maruti has quickly emulated it in thier Ritz. I think that its not so. In this car no doubt the gear knob is placed higher but at the same time its farther, nullying any gain.

4) At present its not giving me good mileage. Probalbly it will improve after first and second service.

Coming to Pros:-

1) Super makkan drive. Very smooth and silent. Turn ur AC off and u will not be able to tell if the car engine is runnign or not. Acceptable handling.  I have not crossed 100 Kmph but at 100 its nicely planted.

2) Really good AC.If outside temperature is low it will freeze u .

3) Good stereo. But bloody buggers Hyundai dont provide remote!!!!! These cheap type actions by car companies kill all the goodwill they can earn.

4) Some may say that interior color is not a very important. I wud say it is very very important. The beige interiors give nice and airy feel amd are light on eyes. One wud feel delighted to sit inside i10 than in Swift or WagonR or Spark.

Ur comment are welcomed. My views are not based on any technical inputs. Rather they are based on first hand experience. Feel free to add something to my knowledge or correct me.

Smooth drive, although a small car but good on space, nice interiorsRead below

Hi

After a lot of study and research i finally shortlisted i10 .My budget was around 3.5 but decided to extend it a little for this tiny little thin.

Had the following options in mind

Alto-thght it was way too small for a 6ft like me and 800CC is nothin

Wagon R-Old car

Santro-Had a Santro prvsly

Spark/UVA-No Chevy plzzzz

Getz--Litl beyond my budget and heard its being phased out

Booked i10 magna 1.2 today

Got the following

Metallic color car

All interiors done

Gear lock

Central Lock+Immobilizer

Seat Covers

Anti Rust Coating

Little bit here n there

Got all this for 3.95(Delhi).

Dealer agreed for all this probably because it was end of year and he wanted to meet his targets.

Do lemme know if the its a gud deal or not...

May be...

Happy Driving......:) :) :)

Simple , gorgeous and trendy. All d metallic colours r attractive.Front fog light and Rear Spoiler with light(additional accessory=3600/- $10,000/- respectively) gives it a smart look.

Spacious enough to accomodate a small family of 4/5 members.Beige interiors give a feel of openness, door fitted speakers add on more space for the things to keep properly. Seats comfortable n safe.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

New Kappa 1.2 engine is efficient enough for a safe drive in the city and on highways at a fairly good speed.If compared with beat and other contemporary cars then rated second in the performance.

Ride Quality & Handling

Satisfactory, power steering and all four power windows makes drive convenient. chilling ac and heater makes driving comfortable in all seasons at any place. Remote controlled centre locking and keyless entry keep car safe from the car thieves.One can lock d engine from d remote and noone can start till its not opened from d remote.(additional accessories =6000/-). By Reverse parking sensors u can easily detect obstacle on screen provided with d mirror(additional accessory=4500/-)

A bit in the performance of engine , shock absorbers and smoothness of gears.Need to slightly lower d price also because the price is quite high along with d additional accessories. Rest is ok for a compact hatchback like this.
