Hyundai I10 reviews

I wasn’t really intending on buying newer car when I bought mine but unfortunately some issues with my old one meant I had no choice so decided to see what was out there and I came across an 18 month old Hyundai i10, took it for a test drive and well the rest is history!  I’ve done around 500 miles since I got it 3 months ago and it’s served me well on city roads, I’ve not done too much on the motorway yet. However at less than 15,000 miles on the odometer it appears the brakes are grinding (my mum noticed this when she drove my car for me after I fell ill whilst out) the reason this concerns me is the car was serviced the day I went for the hand over so it would be reasonable to assume the brakes were in good nick then. Although one plus my mum hated driving it so it looks like she won’t be asking to borrow my car anytime soon! I’ve marked down on space as I’m not sure if I can fit my bike inside so may have to get a roof rack or similar but what I’m saving on tax, and fuel is worth it. I’ve marked down for performance as unless you get a good run at a hill the smaller engines will struggle but it performs better than my old car which had a bigger engine! Also it started fine first time after a cold snap after being sat outside for two weeks. Comfort is marked down as my mum banged her knee on the steering console as it is low.

my Hyundai i10 is a really good small car cheap to run and reliable and a good all round small car.

A reliable, cheap to run small car. This model was the first (original) I10, and as such all later editions have improvements to the very few negative comments one could make - eg digital clock permanently on view, and illuminated when car lights are on, and the lack of a wash/wipe facility. The conversion to a variable sized load carrier by the folding down of one third/two thirds of the rear seatback is very simply and quickly achievable. This car is comfortable, quiet and economical, and ideal for the older person who does not want to be 'seated at floor level'

Very nippy, easy to handle and park, comfortable with little extras like electric sunroof, cup holders and heated seats. Economical and reliable. I love my i10.

Excellent in every way: comfortable and economical

Owned from new. Our i10 has been totally reliable and is a pleasure to drive.

The only thing I dislike about this car is that it feels as though I am driving a box ! By that, I mean that when I am cornering, It feels unstable and when I go over uneven surfaces the suspension feels quite jarring

My car is now 4 months old and I have covered some 1600miles. The majority of these miles have been on local roads but there have also been motorway trips to visit family and friends. I am averaging some 46mpg. The engine revs easily and when accelerating up to motorway traffic speed I have to be careful not to rev to high in low gears. The boot is sufficiently large to carry a large suitcase or two medium size. I have not had a full load of 5 people but my son (6ft 2in plus) and his wife fit in with comfort.

Bought it as it came top in one of the surveys. I have never even had to rause the bonnet. Completely reluable and very cheap to run. Also very comfortable for 4 adults.

<M y Hyundai exceeds all expectations in performance and comfort. There is a payoff in that mine has an automatic gearbox so that the fuel consumption averages down to 41.5 but this is off set by the comfort and performance which has proved to be exceptional. I am more than happy to recommend to all my friends the attributes of this excellent machine.

this is the third i10 that i have had, wonderful small car

Bought brand new, great little runabout. Problems include flickering dashboard after a year (known problem) i turn the dimmer switch down and back to full, not brilliant but no further issue. The clutch always had a bit of judder when setting off due to the car having an under sized clutch plate (known problem) started slipping on hills at 21,000 miles! had a nervous wait while Hyundai inspected, but they replaced with upgraded clutch under warranty. The car has been totally transformed in the way it now drives. It's a very well equipped , fairly roomy, pretty good on fuel, cheap road tax, nice to drive, struggles a little on motorways, and so far a good warranty. Overall pretty happy with the car and the service I have received from Hyundai.

Many good points, eg price and no VED. but fuel consumption too high, dashboard lighting illegible in daylight, so odometer and fuel gauge almost invisible.

Bought used. Forced because previous car fell off road. Cash limited. Wanted small reliable city car with low costs. So far so good. Ride firm to the point of harsh. Handles like a roller skate. Windscreen feels very low and wipers clear below my eye line. Starting not 100%, failed more than once, don't yet know why. Steering good, engine light and responsive, gearbox good, boot quite smart for so small. Heating quick and clears mist.

This car is perfect for me as it is compact yet high and I can easily get in and out. One of my friends has a Mercedes, but I find getting in and out extremely difficult.

I intended to buy a second hand car, but the dealon the new i10 was so good I brought a new one. I am extremelypleased with it and look forward to many years happy motoring in it. The sales service was excellant. I have not yet needed any after sales service.

The only thing missing is intermittent windscreen wipers.

A very cheap way to use a car -small, fuel efficient , reliable and quite comfortable for the price. I would buy again- the best indicator of satisfaction

This car has been the most unreliable car I have ever had in 30 years of driving. I bought it new with the five year warranty to have some peace of mind and reliability, but the car has had a least five return visits to the Hyundai dealership for various issues: 'lumpy' driving, no heating for months, engine not starting, seat splitting, clutch issues, etc, etc. Unfortunately the vehicle has been a big disappointment and often a huge inconvenience.

As we've done less than 3000 miles in 2 years it's hard to give an accurate review but so far we have been very pleased with our car.Be warned that the servicing costs can be high but on our car we have a 5 year warranty and road side assistance.As it's a town car towns are where it performs best.It also fits in our small off road parking space(a prime reason for it's purchase).
