I had the hyundai for a few years, the car is economical and good sized boot, it has electric mirrors, hands free and doors lock when driving. That is where it stops for me, the interior seats are cheap, I could see the padding coming out of the chair, the engine management light came on which was a speed sensor issue which I can only think is due to going up hills all the time and trying to get up them you had to rev the guts out of the car, if you want to save money but like to drive in the crawlers lane and not bothered about comfort or nice interior then this is the car for you. I actually preferred my 98 vauxhall corsa to drive which was a 1litre and it drove better.

The Hyundai I20 is a very good car - the main problem is relatively poor visibility. Other than that, it is excellent in all respects.

Have now owned 5 Hyundai vehicles and all have been consistently reliable, they are good value with many extras included of other more expensive vehicles. eg this vehicle the i20 has :-air conditioning, auto stop/start ,hill start assist,speed control/cruise control,decent mileage per gallon, Internal reversing warning alarm, audio system with i-pod connection. heated mirrors. lane control indication.comfortable for longer journeys....... I could go on, let's say it's good value for money.

Its comfortable to drive, economical and even though best suited for around town driving, it handles motorway driving very well.

Very comfortable and with lots of head-room and luggage space, this flexible and easy-to-drive vehicle is a joy to own. Its downside is that I had really hoped to get a car with better fuel economy, only to find that it is worse than my previous Fiesta! Such a disappointment. Only 40-44 mpg and I do try to drive with fuel economy in mind.

Huge disappointment. Not what one would expect from a brand new car. The reality has fallen well short of the glossy marketing. Problems began within weeks. Central locking with a mind of its own. Ignition problems, engine cutting out, dashboard noises, rusting bodywork. What else can go bad on the worst car I ever bought? Never again.

Having changed to a more economical (and newer) car, I save money on road tax, insurance and petrol. I changed from a 9 year old Vauxhall Vectra 1800-ish cc to a 1 year old Hyundai i20 with 1248cc engine. I definitely miss the boot space and rear seat space for carrying loads, although there is adequate legroom for rear seat passengers. The performance of the car (acceleration, changing down for hills etc) is definitely very noticeably less than with previous car, but that is one of the things you get when you are saving on fuel costs, so was expected. The gear-change on the i20 is not as good as the Vectra, which is slightly worrying as it is only 15 months old and has done less than 12,000 miles. So far no reliability problems or high bills for anything. It remains to be seen exactly how my local dealer reacts to what I (and some other people) think should be covered by the guarantee; I've read some complaints about owners having to bear some or all of the costs of items that IMHO ought to be straight no-quibble warranty covered items.

This is a super little car, the 2013 model is better than the 2012 model, which was also a good car; there are additional features with the newer model, eg doors automatically lock when a certain speed is reached, and the seats are more comfortable, also fog lights with this model. MPG are better as well. The local agent is always very helpful and if and when I change cars, Hyundai will be my first choice.

I purchased my i20 classic and was very pleasently suprised by the standard of comfort and fitting out (my previous car was a rover 620sli). Sits on the motorway very comfortably with no engine strain. Suprisingly spacious and comfortable both for the driver and passengers. No mechanical problems at all and good mileage in all driving conditions. My next car will be.........another i20

Sometimes you are very suprised by somthing and the i20 suprised me. I bought a cheepish car for commuting so did not expect much. This car is vastly better than the polo it replaced on reliability,handling and fuel consumption. In fact it is better than my partners new Fiesta which in comparison is cramped, noisy, thirsty and uncomfortable. A highly recommend car.

The car seems to be well built and very well equipped (Style model). Good value for price paid. Controls are light and it is easy to drive. Space is adequate for two people, but space in the back is tight when carrying passengers. Fuel economy is good, when driven sensibly. Performance is adequate, having regard to engine size and fuel consumption. Car is now one year old and no problems so far, apart from dashboard rattle, which was fixed by the dealer. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a compact, economical car, if mainly used to carry one or two people.

Good points+ Good fuel economy. I like the engine characteristics.Nice steering wheel. Good sized glove box. Smooth gearbox. I like the foot rest next to the clutch pedal. I like the automatic folding heated electric mirrors. I like the fuel consumption computer display. This is a great car. I also had a new VW polo diesel TDI & the Hyundai i20 CRDI is a much better car. Bad Points? Slightly uncomfortable front seats. Awkward adjuster lever for rake angle of front seat back. I would prefer it if the air conditioning did not come on automatically when I blow the air up onto the windscreen. I would prefer to turn it on only when I want it. The handbrake lever is just slightly to close to the drivers seat.
