A very good small automatic car for city and moderate highway driving

A car is a tool designed to take people from point A to B safely and in quiet comfort. i10 AT with airbags and ABS does exactly that. Personally, I am high on safety and i10 AT meets my requirements within its form factor (compact car). While driving, both hands should always be on the steering for safety and the automatic lets you exactly do that (although some idiots still use mobile phones even while driving a manual, putting other peoples lives at risk).

I have driven the car several times on the Pune-Mumbai expressway and got the mileage of about 16km/ltr driving at 100k/hr with aircon running at all times. It handled really well on the ghats. One is likely to get better mileage with the speed of about 80k/hr.

In the city, fuel economy is about 10-11k/ltr which is due to the road and traffic conditions rather than the car/engine itself.

Although, I wasn't looking for the sunroof, i10 AT with airbags comes with one. Kids love the sunroof during the monsoons and while driving on roads with high trees.

You can never have enough safety. And towards that, I would have liked to see knee level airbags at the front and airbags for the rear seats as well.

Overall, its a great car for its size and the features. Its not exactly a steal when it comes to the price. However, its a fair value for those who take safety seriously.

Fully loaded, quiet cabin, comfortable enough for the purpose, peppy, informative dashRetsricted leg room for adults in the rear seat. Good enough for kids though.
