i10.... tempting ten.....


Hyundai has finally unveiled its i10 (so called 'Pa'), without replacing the existing Santro. This time Hyundai has learnt from the mistakes it did with Getz, and has priced the i10 cleverly. The car looks extremely attractive. You cannot blame the car's look in any angle (Though the rear is bit cramped). The bubbly headlamps steals the show and it deserves a head-turn in traffic signals. The build quality is as good as other Hyundai cars and the interiors are crafted beautifully. Hyundai sticks with the same 1.1 santro engine, but tuned it to produce 2 bhp more. The cable shift transmission and the electric power steering are welcome additions to it. The gearshift is integrated to the front console, and this has given enough room to accommodate more cup holders ;-) The i10 is wider but little shorter than the Santro. The ride quality is good when compared to the bumpy Santro. The tunings to the engine helps it to deliver decent mileage and we can expect around 13-15 in typical city driving conditions.

A/C and power steering comes standard in all models and the starting model is priced 3.4 exshowroom price looks like a hot cake deal. With its excellent interiors, impeccable build quality and awesome styling, it is sure going to be a smashing hit...
