ಹುಂಡೈ ಐ10 Magna 1.1 iTech SE

Good car with low maintenance, yes mileage is only issued otherwise its the best car. The safety feature in the car is not good may be due to the old version.

All the tyres are recently replaced by new tyres. Engine oil is also recently changed. Gear oil is also changed. It gives a mileage of 19 KMPL.

I purchased i 10 Magna model in 2010 and switched over to i10 from Tata Indica Petrol, which I used for almost 3 years. I drove i10 for almost 7.5 years before I went for S cross. Since, I was switching over to i10 from Indica, by all means this car gave me a great experience compared to Indica. Pros : Almost Nil break down maintenance, apart from regular routine services at regular intervals. The average costing was reasonably low between 2.5 k to 3 k. Engine remained intact ( I run for 1.5 Lac KM) and absolutely there was no issue. Though compact, offered good leg space. Smooth driving in the city roads and traffic. Excellent Pick up. Seats were quite comfortable though it is not a luxury car. Battery I replaced only twice in 7.5 years. Cons : A.C. had a problems for 3 to 4 times and at once I had to replace complete AC due to compressor failure after 7 years. Headlights were not powerful enough for Highway driving. Wipers did not have intermittent mode of operation, hence caused scratches to glass. Suspension quality was poor. Conclusion : Overall, a complete Hatchback car, very low maintenance, good milage, all the basic features one needs like A.C., heater, power steering, all four power windows and central locking system at affordable price and I would say, i10 model was a good car, which is now replaced with grand i 10 with much features.

Dear friends, I have owned i10 for the last 7 years, and any words of appreciation / praise would be too less for this car. First, the looks...great Second, mileage....great Third, maintenance.....zero Fourth, features....all Fifth and foremost, strength.....I don't have enough words to thank the Hyundai i20 makers, coz this car saved my life.....Let me describe in detail.....I was driving on Noida expressway at the speed of around 100 kmpl, when I met with an accident, head on collision with a truck!!!!!! Not only did I come out alive but also I had very less injury, no face injury, no head injury, no fracture, no injury to my visceral organs, just a few bruises....the car took all the impact!!!!!!! It was completely broken and crumpled but I, the driver stayed intact....Even the windscreen didn't break into pieces, it was just shattered, but very few pieces fell on my body..........So kudos to Hyundai for saving my life and making such a strong car, that it could save the driver even at the speed of 100.....really my whole family agrees that it was no less than a miracle that I came out alive while the car was completely destroyed..... I would suggest every person looking at this car, as a LIFE SAVER, if God forbid such a situation arises....

Hyundai i10 is proved to be very reliable car during my 6 years of ownership. For me this is top most priority and I dont like to get stranded on a road or leaving my car in workshop for days. No mechanical failures or even unnecessary part changes. All these days I did regular servicing only. I think Hyundai is close to reliability levels of Toyota, Honda and Maruti Suzuki. The second thing I would like to appreciate about this car is the build quality. The car is better built and there are no rattles squeaks so far. Also the materials used in interiors are good as new. I dont feel this car interior outdated when compared to many latest cars. Earlier Hyundai cars mileage were not good but this new kappa2 engine is better and close to Maruti Suzukis fuel efficiency. I get around 11 KMPL in Bangalore traffic and 17 on highways. (mine is automatic). Even though this car looks small, it offers decent space inside. Probably due to tall-boy design. I never felt this is small car and this is coming from me who used Honda Accord in US previously. The only negatives I feel about this car is ride quality and service cost. Ride quality is very average. Also Hyundai service cost has become too much now a days. They are charging around 5K for regular service/oil change as prescribed in manual.
