Hyundai i10 2018 in-depth review | carwow reviews

The Hyundai i10 is designed for buyers searching for a small, nippy car that’s easy to drive on city streets. Tiny dimensions and light steering make it easy to park, and a light weight means that it doesn’t use much fuel. But what happens if you need to venture further afield? How does it cope out on the open road, and is there space for your friends in the back? I find out this and much more in my full in-depth review.

Not sure that many modern cars "struggle" on motorways. If you can cruise, with a load, at 70 to 75, ...if you can get past really slow things with some acceleration.... then you are not really struggling. What makes you struggle are conditions and trucks overtaking each other for 5km. All modern cars, even little ones are fine. People are the problem and not the cars.

My wife has this car (premium 1.2) and I regularly average over 60mpg and that includes town driving. Reverse is not a problem, admittedly its a bit of a knack though. We love it, surprisingly good.

I hired one of these for a week in southern Ireland and found it a lovely little car to drive. Comfy for two people just touring around the twisty narrow roads up and around mountains was a real pleasure indeed. Enough room for two overnight bags in the small boot. Very easy to park as well. The only downside I thought was it was so difficult to hear the indicator working if it didn't auto cancel after a turn. I often noticed the panel light blinking away without hearing the little click click of the relay. A small niggle on an otherwise pleasant little car. I was very impressed. Its not a racer at all. just a nice little motor.

Bought the top of the range version Premium SE and I absolutely love it. By far the best urban car overall right now. Drives great and cornering is incredible for a small car. You really feel like your driving a much bigger car. Petrol consumption is very good around town.
The extras are amazing. Definitely recommend the i10 Premium SE .

i own an 2008 i10 and it is an awesome car...yes, it has almost no features (no climate control, no infotainment, literally nothing) but it got me around without any need for repairs. it´s 10 years old and it had only brake pads changed after 7 years of driving. nothing else

"It starts from a fiver..." Ooh!
"Under..." huh?
"£9000" Urgh.

My favorite car. I used to drive one, i10 1, 0 - 2014, until just recently when I bought an i20 1, 2 (84hp) -2016. They’re both solid cars, easy to drive

[StagecoachGold]

Brilliant little car. I would love to have that as my first car. The Hyundai i10 is the perfect car to be my first car to drive.

I have this car and drive it from Edinburgh to Stirling and back 2/3 times a week and it’s perfect. I have the 1litre engine, too. Nippy wee car!

[zainscooby]

Of course the engine is going to make noise when you rev it! What do you expect?

[davidgalstyan]

Even cheap cars has better interior then my 2013 Toyota RAV4 -_-

7:13 WOW! That's some new technology video editing. Crazy aye?

I have a 2016 i10, she is my princess! Goes like a bomb...

[edwardmazibuko]

Honestly...I would the i10 over the vw up

I have an I10 for 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it! It is quit agile, quick and comfortable! I have a local media system with all the things you nned (Waze nav, BT, Internet radio, reverse camera etc.). I drive a lot on the motorway and you do not feel out of your depth. I would I like it to be a bit more punchy (maybe with a 1 LT Turbo Eng.), but I really can't complain, It is amazing value for money, and it has a lot of personalty

[WetPig]

Oh I live in a poor EE country. Love these reviews, but knowing even this car is far too expensive for me kinda saddens me... Doesn't really help my dad likes older cars - so I have never been in a newer car.
Would love to be able to afford a new car someday, my ideal would be a Volkswagen Beetle or Golf/Polo.

Both my i10s have had progressive, strong and predictable brakes, one of the best features of the car in fact, no idea what's wrong with the one you drove! The only car I've driven whose brakes acted like you described were fitted to a 2011 Seat Ibiza. Also while I agree there is some road (tyre roar) noise, on the whole the cabin is far quieter (I would say measurably) than the 2015 Fiesta mine replaced, it's also better at soaking up bumps.
