This is the first time I am writing a review of any kind and the reason I write is bcoz it is so well deserving. I have owned my i-10 Magna 1.2 for 2 years now, i celebrated its 2nd b'day on Feb 2011 & I still ADORE driving it :-)
Exterior Sporty, Trendy and yet Very Sober & VERY Cute!
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Its a compact car with a very decent built. I drove my i-10 Magna 1.2 with my uncle, aunt & mom sitting in the backseat, all 3 of them decently well built & they were absolutely fine & had enough space to sit comfortablely.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is Awesome..!! We drove the car at 100 to 120 KMPH on the highway & the car absolutely doesn't make u feel uncomfortable of the speed - its that Smooth!! Especially with windows up; its only when u pull down the windows u realize that u r actually driving the vehicle at that speed just bcoz of the wind gushing into the car.
The Gearbox is very comfortably placed. Apart from changing gears, i often use it as a handrest for my left arm (lol). Funny, I knw..!! Changing gears is no problem in traffic, i can swiftly change gears without getting stuck or my vehicle stopping anytime.
Fuel efficiency is the ONLY concern for me. Inspite of good & regular maintenance, fuel consumption is 'A' little too much. It only gives me a mileage of 13-15 Km/L within city limits. I so much wish there's a way to improve that & i can only hope if Hyundai could come up with a plan on this.
Ride Quality & Handling Riding my i-10 is alwz a pleasure for me. I do not need a reason to drive it, somdays i go for long drives just for the pleasure of driving it :-) Ride-Quality & handling the car is never-never an issue. Its an absolute fun & pleasure!!
Final Words Ladies & gentlemen, who would like to buy a small economic car for work & personal lives, this is an absolutely amazing car. A complete family car.
Areas of improvement With i-10, i only hope that Hyundai can come up with a fuel efficiency plan. Also, when I bought my car, prices had fallen & so to reach out to customers they removed a few features in Magna, like my vehicle does not have a rear wash wiper. They should make it more flexible for customers to choose their choice of vehicle's. I wanted to choose between Magna & Sportz bcoz technically, Sportz has few extra features & comes along with in-built Kenwood music system, with 2 rear speakers. I wanted the Sportz version without the music system, coz i wanted to add my own. But that was not a choice i could make. I needed to pay 45K more for the additional features & music system. So i had to give up on sportz & instead bought Magna. I added my own Sony music system, 2 rear JBL speakers & 2 front Sony speakers all for 12K only.
I Do Not Regret. I still manage to drive comfortably in rain without needing a rear wash wiper. And most importantly, price wise, its very well economially placed. So all in all, i-10 is a Winner for me. I love my roadie buddy!! So if you have plans for a small family & office car.. GO AHEAD..!!
God Bless~
