Hyundai I10 reviews

Had two previous i10 1.2 and were everything you could want from a town car. The moment we bought this 2021 Connect SE we found it hard to pull away without the feeling it was going to stall. You have to over rev and play with the clutch to pull away from stop. It seems the A/C drags the power down. This happens when the car demands the A/C to come on. If you sit in the car and hold 2000rpm it will fluctuate between 1000rpm and 2000rpm at random. Shut the A/C off (which you can't as the car mists up ) then the car behaves normally. Hyundai insist this is not a problem and there for no fix available. I would be interested to find if anybody else has found problem.

We were surprised on delivery day of our new Hyundai i10 Connect car that it only came with one Smart key and one manual key, instead of two smart keys. After complaining to the salesman that we required two workable keys, as two people were to drive the car, we were advised that Hyundai only supply one smart key and we would have to purchase another at a further cost of £215. We were extremely annoyed to find out at this late stage that the second key was an "extra", after the deal was done and monies paid. We should have been made aware of this at the start and this has taken the shine off our new car. To make matters worse, the first time we used the keys separately, I used the manual key, which set off the car alarm, with no means of turning it off, as my wife had the smart key. Very embarrassing. When I made it clear to the dealer and Hyundai that I was very unhappy with just one workable key, my complaint fell on deaf ears with both the Dealer and Hyundai Customer service. They should not allow me to walk away unhappy with my brand new vehicle. After continued negotiations over two weeks with the Dealer, we have had no option but to accept his final offer to pay half the cost of an additional Smart key, costing me in excess of £100, for a second key for our brand new car. Since when was a second usable car key an “extra”? I rang on Monday morning 18.01.21 and Hyundai’s customer service was no help at all and did not even return the promised phone call, so I had to call back later on that day. On Tuesday I got an email from Hyundai customer queries, (which I sent on Tuesday 12.01.21 and which promised a response in 2 days) and which then referred me back to the Dealer. Hyundai customer service is abysmal.

55 to 60 mpg in the real world (dropping to 50 if you sit at 90 on the motorway.) £20 tax. I've covered 61000 miles in 5 1/2 years and it's been faultless. Two kids have learned to drive in it and it's going strong. I owned the previous i10 and was keen to replace it... this one is a keeper. Need to know... the ESP is a bit zealous in snow or on ice, so turn it off when the snow falls deep. You can't carry four adults for more than an hour or so... the back is cramped if fully grown adults also sit in the front. It really is a brilliant small car.

bought this car after spending an arm an a leg on a mini cooper allways needed something doing must be the mini exprience! i needed something i could depend for work as i worked shifts and pubkic transport not feasable. found it on a dealer website liked it moment i drove it comfotable nippy handled well and geabox that reminded me of the old rear whell drive fords of the 80s .hos it been well marvelous 20 road tax insurance cheap economy 50s goes well at high speed and nothings gone wrong. i read into the companies history was founded by ex engineers and directors of british leyland may be we missed an opportunity in britain

I’ve had my i10 for 4 years, bought with very low mileage for its year. I’ve had no trouble with it at all. It took me 140 miles round trip once a week up the motorway, no trouble and will do 70mph easily. It is comfortable easy to drive easy to get in and out of when you’ve got dodgy knees and short legs! I’m now a Hyundai fan and wouldn’t have anything else

Hyundai got everything just right on this car. I love driving it. Comfortable seats with good side support. Very comfortable ride yet good cornering. Smooth engine and gearbox, the 3 cyllinder engine has a nice character. Long high speed journeys are a pleasure, double seals on the doors along with good sound proofing means suprisingly quiet progress. The steering is light and effortless when manouvering in the supermarket car park yet perfect at speed on the motorway (and does not veer off course and needing constant correction like my previous car). Good fuel economy (65mpg on a run) . Good dab radio. It rides like a bigger car has enough weight to feel solid but handles like a smaller car , a very reassuring combination. I love it.

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.
