Exterior I think the muscular VW Polo is the best looking hatchback right now,but im totally hooked onto the curves of my i20.I always thought Hyundai made weird looking cars(I used to drive a Santro),but the i20 has made me eat my own words.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interior features and space where the real deal breaker between the i20 and the Polo.
1.Steering controls-a joy to use while driving.
2.Bluetooth audio &telephony controls-Im addicted to this luxury.
3.Auto Air Con-good feature although I use manual mostly.
4.Electric ORVMs-already saved my new mirrors twice in traffic.
5.Seats-Ultra comfy and rear space is good enough for me too(im 6ft tall).
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The 1.2 kappa engine does its work rather well in city,and is enough to drive like a human on highway as well,although it does feel runnin out of breath sometimes during highway overtaking.If you are interested in outright speed and pickup,well this is not the car for you. I would give it 3 out of 5.
Fuel economy has not been calculated as yet,since I have tanked full and covered 210kms as of now.The fuel gauge shows theres 2/3rd left.I will update and calculate during my next full tank.
Ride Quality & Handling Again this is not a car for outright handling.It does its job well for sedate to moderately fast driving.Ride quality is good most of the times,but sometimes it does make you uncomfortable on even medium sized potholes and speedbumps.Small patches of bad road are harldy felt.The EPS is a boon for city traffic and does tighten up at speed,its not as bad as people make it to be.Im happy with the way the steering responds and have adjusted my driving style accordingly. I would give it 4 out of 5.
Final Words I am happy with my car and I feel its totally VFM.Im learning how to use all the features properly and it never stops me from getting that smile on my face everytime I drive it.
Areas of improvement Suspension.
Styling,Interiors,Comfortable seats,smooth engine for city driving,bluetooth,steering controls.Ride is sometimes harsh
