a car that will satisfy you

I bought the i10 sportz about 10 days back. since I migrated from an alto, I literally felt I was in an aircraft cockpit. The quality of the plastics and material look so much better than maruti cars. I looked at the ritz too, but though the Zxi is well equipped, the basic quality of materials was like in an alto. Also there needs to be a variant between Vxi which is equipped with basics and Zxi which is loaded with all features. the i10 sportz is just that level with a music system, rear wipers and defoggers etc.

Back to my sweet little i10 it handles really well. The steering gives you adequate feedback and the car is smooth in city drive as it has a soft suspension. However when on the multiple continuous speed breakers on the road the car jumps too much and feels unstable (even compared to the ALTO). Also fast cornering with a full load of passengers makes the car feel unstable. I think one of the not so good features is that the thick A pillars really obstruct your view when you are trying a 90 degrees turn on the right side. Everything else in the car is beautiful. I have fallen in love with it as has my 2 year old daughter who now always wants to go out in the i10. It has a fantastic music system that can keep my daughter pacified and a quick chill AC which gave me a flu in 4 days!!!  

The beautiful beige interiors are likely to get dirty sooner. So I usually drive with the windows closed.( I am still to get over with the infatuation) With the AC usually on 70% of the time , and keeping the speed to within 80 kms/hr my new i10 returned an amazing 14.55 kms in city driving in kolkata (390 kms at 26.8 lit full tank to full tank measurement). I must admit that I do not live and drive in the most congested parts of the city but I think this figure is excellent as my Alto gives about 16.5-18 kms in the city with 30% AC use.

My overall experience with the dealers was very satisfactory but I was really pissed of with AXIS BANK for taking too long.

 

easy to drive. fantastic interiors, adequate powerview obstructing A pillars
