My Grey I10 Kappa Sportz

 

Exterior Good contemporary european styling, real head turner than a maruti.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good interior seat quality, good space except for boot, great AC.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The best part of it all, great performance, slick gearbox, even better than a Swift's, acceleration is great, i have driven almost 8000 kms, mileage varies with driving habits. i have got 18-19kms mileage with AC off and not going above 80-90kmph. i have also got mileage of 12-13 with speeding recklessly in highway in speeds of 110 to 120 kmph with 3/4th AC. My I10 Kappa Sportz easily touches 120 kmph without even letting us realize it. so butter smooth engine.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Great ride quality both in highway and city. Car has got good pep for darting and weaving in city too.

 

Final Words If u want a petrol hatchback never look beyond an I10 Kappa or Kappa 2. I took two years to select my vehicle and i test drove all the cars from the maruti stable like Swift, Wagon R, A Star etc. But nothing matched up to the I10 though the Swift had a better acceleration, i should say. But the I10 scores in styling, handling and Uniqueness.

 

Areas of improvement Well, the boot could have been bigger. It is no bigger than a Swift's. The Inbuilt player is great with big buttons and display but it doesnt play mp3 dvds. it also doesnt have a remote. Mine doesnt have a USB Ipod port. but the latest iteration of the I10 Kappa 2 has it. So cant complain that as the company has rectified that and also the Electrical Orvms are lacking in my car but the new generation has got it too. 

 

great steering control and maneuverability, smooth gearbox, good acceleration good ACBoot could have been bigger, Inbuilt audio doesnt play dvd mp3
