i20 vs five human senses satisfaction

average 8 km/ltr, front suspension become noisy within 1200 km, no reply by Hyundai of consumer grievances.

if company wishes to buy back 2000 km run vehicle after deducting rs. 50000.00 on spent amount, i'll be highly obliged as average 8 km/ltr, noisy suspension, poor posture seats, noisy rattled clutch, only looks without brain.

Did some research, and found this article on http://environment.about.com/od/pollution/a/toxic_cars.htm GUYS BRING SOME AWARENESS MOVEMENT, I AM SERIOUSLY WANTING TO CHECK OUT WHAT ACTION HEALTH MINISITRY IS TAKING IN THIS DIRECTION Heat and Ultraviolet Light Trigger Pollution Inside Cars However, on January 11, 2006, the Michigan-based Ecology Center released a report entitled: �??Toxic at Any Speed: Chemicals in Cars and the Need for Safe Alternatives.�?� In this new report, researchers detail how heat and ultraviolet (UV) light can trigger the release inside cars of a number of chemicals linked to birth defects, premature births, impaired learning and liver toxicity, among other serious health problems. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (or PBDEs, often used as fire retardants) and phthalates (chemicals used to soften plastics) are the primary culprits. Part of the seat cushions, armrests, floor coverings and plastic parts in most car interiors, these chemicals are easily inhaled or ingested through contact with dust by drivers and passengers. The risks are greatest in summer, when car interiors can get as hot as

Greetings to all the readers. I thought of posting a reply to the comments by Mr. Sanjeev.I would say that I strongly disagree with the discomfort factors listed by the gentleman in the this page. Three months ago I bought an i20 asta (o) with sunroof for my mother who is 56. I know its kind of a young car for an old lady, but I thought it would be useful for me as well in this atrocious Delhi traffic. It happened so that I took some of my American friends to Agra in the month of april in the i20 In that trip, I did not have any discomfort while driving and so was the case with my friends. Moreover the aircon was and has been working great. (you see automatic climate control aircons are very efficient and effective when one knows how to use it. Try keeping it on a particular temperature always, like 18-22 degree as it also reduces the load on the engine. Avoid keeping it on the lowest temperature. Think of it as a cassette / split aircon. Thats how it works, checks the temperature and then starts cooling) It is obvious when once you start the vehicle and switch the aircon on, it would take a while for the vehicle to cool. More over we returned back to delhi in about 4 hours, which is a great deal. I although agree with you on the engines power lag between the gear shifts. As for the noise from the blower, you can't help it for the first 3-5 minutes (18-22 degrees setting). I would rather sit in a car which is cooler that be sweating my glands out.I must say that the other cars we have( Audi A4 2.0 TDI that I own and Skoda laura L

Dear Mr Sanjeev , Just a few comments on your review . I too have been driving cars for 25 odd years , and happen to own a Corolla . In dec 2009, we purchased an I-20 (petrol automatic) for my 75 year old father, who still drives himself and is fairly active for his age. To be frank , I too noticed the inadequate cooling of the Aircon as soon as i tried the car in Jan . This was pointed out to the dealer in Trivandrum , who seemed to know precisely what was wrong and promised to fix it during the 1st service . He did do the fix the problem in fact - and when i drove his I-20 again in March , the aircon problem was totally gone . Cooling is certainly okay now (though cannot compare to my corolla though). Reg other points - sorry i disagree . Your smell of the interior is bound to fade away after a while , and on the whole (looks , features , interiors, performance ) i feel that this Car is a knock-out. Certainly the best looking among all hatchbacks in India . I knew very well that for the same 8 lacs we paid for this I20 automatic, we could have v well bought a resale Civic , but never for a moment have we regretted our buying decision.

Thanks friends, i appreciate your valuable inputs, sharing your personal experience and views. By the way i recently drove the i20 megna (1.2L version)just to clarify, on a long drive to Haridwar. The outside temperature was 38 degrees and the A/C was working much better, the smell was much less. The highway drive the air flow to the radiator works as a coolant, hence the A/c always works better. On the other hand my shared experience was of days when outside temp. was 42-43 degrees (in delhi)and in city traffic. The smell increases with temperature, i guess thats when the chemicals release increase from interiors. Regarding the pickup on a highway, it was always difficult to overtake a bus or truck on 3rd and 4th gear and i had to switch over to even second gear at times. Unforunately, my side mirror was hit on side by a tractor running at a speed of 30km/hr when i trying to overtake it on third gear. The good thing was side view mirror broke but mirror assembly did a 180 degree turn, great feature. sanjeevx

My over keenness to buy this car has cooled down

I see none of those who have posted their comments on the review have talked anything about the mileage the car is giving. It's just over a month since i bought my i20 Magna 1.2l and it is giving me 11kmpl. It is about a week away from the first free service and i hope the mileage will go up atleast to 12 if not 13, with subsequent service checks. Talking about the smell of the interiors or the cooling of the aircon, i havnt felt any such smell till now, even though i have driven the car in delhi traffic at temperatures over 40 and the cooling is totally satisfactory too.

you go for honda jazz test drive price is little more then i20, but comfort zone is excellent you enjoy the drive, fully loaded

Really after reading all the comments,My over keenness also to buy this car has cooooled down. nobody has so much of time to write this long review or feedback, Mr Sanjeev must have suffered.

it is very good car .

CAN ANYONE PLZ LIST OUT THE PROS... AND CONS OF I20 POINTWISE PLZ. PLANNING TO BUY AN I20 MAGNA PETROL SOON. ANY ADVICE?

it can be a well devised idea to show down hyundai, seems to be motivated by a competetor.

Well, i really want to thank all for the reviews as i am planning to buy this car I20, Magna(Petrol) within a month. I decided to buy Swift then i made my mind to buy this because of the waiting and intransparency by the maruti guys. But still very confused. As this will be my first car so which one would be best for me. I am very much impressed by the looks and features it comes loaded with. About me I am 23 and live in Delhi. So, if anyone can suggest me which one to go for Swift Lxi or I20 Magna.? Thanks Bhanu

Dear Bhanu, I also was keen to buy Swift LXI as Swift LXI is value for money and you really feel the power of car when you drive it. The only problem is when you go to buy a swift LXI , you realise that it is just a stripped car..you dont get Power windows, stereo and many basic features which you expect when you are spending above 4 lac.So you tend to go for higher version like VXI or ZXI. But then at the price of over 5.5 lac, you really dont get value for money from Swift...as you miss the feel of a expensive car with cheep interiors and especially check out the paint quality of swift..there is some thing wrong as it looses the lusture very fast. If you are fine with smaller car, i think I10 is really value for money, smart interiors and solid power. On the other hand if you can compromise on power and want others to say WOW after looking at interiors and exteriors..i20 magna is fine. The fact is you do not get every thing from any car at this price..just be clear about your priority. Sanjeevx

has anyone compared polo with i 20. which would be a better buy.intend to buy it for my wife.she is not too particular about looks of the car.would prefer good performance instead.

Hi nimesh, Hi tried to take a trial of polo. Went to gurgaon company showroom and as it was 6:15 pm..no one in company was ready to attend. Every one was taking rest. Then tried to take trial of Polo at Okhla..and they do not work on Sunday. With a company self centered and working in 9 to 5 envirnment and may be 5 days a week. I could make out the service i would get if i buy it. All the best.

Hello All,I am palnning to buy a car within 6Lacs range. This would be my first car. Which car should I go for. I have seen i20,polo,punto,figo,swift,fabia....which is the best for me? Can anyone advice me...However i did liked Jazz but its going out of budget.....

Hello I am going for i20 1.4 Asta AT (O) with Sunroof. Its quite expensive but fully loaded. Can any one please suggest me?

hi i have just read something.. wanted to share with you guys.. Hyundai India has finally come up with solutions for airconditioning and rattling problems in the i20. Since quite a time i20 owners have been complaining about lack of cooling, which can be a terrible thing in the extremely hot summers of the north. Occurrence of rattles from many cars was also reported. In order to resolve these issues Hyundai India is now offering the affected customers with ECM reprogramme to enhance the AC performance. For the rattles an addition of urethane pad & yoke spring has been suggested. These changes will be offered free of cost to the customers. The rattle issues will be addressed only for those affected and the AC solution is applicable only for certain batches and any clear information about these batches is yet to surface. While Hyundai is calling up the eligible customers other i20 owners can call up their dealership and confirm about their eligibility by giving out the registration number. Dealers from New Delhi confirmed the move by Hyundai India. Three cheers to hyundai at least they acknowledged. I am sure, this thread has played a part in it.

Hey guys, I was shocked when i opened the bonet to check out AC of I20. So much of cooling is wasted as the exposed aluminium pipe (cold air ) runs in bonet for atleast 1.5 meters without any insulation. So much of cooling energy is wasted. I wonder why this is not insulated pipe like other cars..or maybe pipe is too thin to be insulated. Wow..hyndai must have saved Rs 1000 to Rs 2000 and made people suffer who paid Rs 5.50L for the car. sanjeevx

Hi i am planning to buy this car I20, Magna(Petrol) within a month. But still very confused. As this will be my first car so which one would be best for me. I am very much impressed by the looks and features it comes loaded with. Your suggestions welcome.

Hi All, It was great to read the reviews. I was in a doubt whether to go for i20 or not. Finally decided to go for it. I got the car delivered as said on 20/09/2010 since then i have drove approx 1000 kms and filled petrol for rs 3650.00, which clearly indicates on an average milage of 16 kms..... surprisingly that is more than what i expected... might be i have drove around 650-700 on highways and approx 300 on city. This mileage is absolute fantastic. AC is absolutely working fine, no issues at all. There is nothing to comment on smell. Just go for it, its an excellent vehicle.... Just have a look at the roads and find how many i20's are seen. The car is selling as a hot cake. I am absolutely happy about the performance so far.

i m thinking to take magma can any 1 tel me about the after sale service of d car or d maintenance of d car.......... and about d engine ????? pls help

Go for FIAT EMOTION DISEL MULTIJET ENGINE, If you are conscious about the money are spending.Initial cost, Spares cost,features and Millege wise Punto is better than i20. Great Car getting a millage of 20Km/Ltr(with AC) FIAT EMOTION DISEL MULTIJET ENGINE rocks.Leaving back all the plastic parts issues, Rest everything is perfect. Great Engine Ample Power,great comfort in seats and space. Bluetooth technology is also very good I connect my E73 to my car, it pairs once i get into my car and its my world inside my car. Great Blaupunkt Speakers. A Car for India roads..Shock absorbers are superb. Great value for money car.

SIR, I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD DRIVE BULLCART NO CAR CAN PICK THIRD GEAR IN 25KM.

Hey Sanjeev, Your review has been very helpful in all its length and breadth.. I am seriously looking at buying either an i10 Magna Petrol or i20 Magna Petrol. I'm impressed with the features of i20 very much for the price Hyundai is offering it for.. However, some known issues of pick-up and AC performance are also of certain concern.. does it really run like a bullock-cart if all 5 passengers sit in the car, with little luggage in the boot and AC on..? Is it that sluggish, that it will iritate the driver that the car is not picking up speed at all..? Some very concerning questions I have about i20.. could you help..? On the other hand, i10 in all its respects is a good car.. the new Next Gen i10 seems to offer little more than its previous launch.. which I guess is only - more mileage and latest technology engine.. does it offer anything more than that..? I am totally confused with what option to go for... - New i10 or i20..? Could you advise me which one of the 2 is better for city ride considering my above stated concerns..?

hiiii sanjeev pls reply soon actualy i want to buy car in next week so pls help me between i10magna and i20magna. which one is the best for me and tell me abt the maintenance its a big diffrence between both of cars cost wise ? pls rply soon

hii sanjeev u didnt rply me pls rply me as soon as possible

hi all i20 u like it (magna & sportz) petrol u buy

i10 is a useless vehicle in terms of pickup.i wonder why people are boasting about its power.i have been driving it for an year now and i feel the terrible lag.if you compare santro and i10 santro is a raging bull.santro picks up like anything while i10 waits for someone to push it from behind.no matter how much you pedal down the accelerator,the pickup you get is like an old ass.may be hyundai was trying to save fuel and get better fuel economy out of this car.but the other issues like suspension,ac,everything else are good.one more thing that is a bit bad is the wheel base which is far less than santro.and i must mention i am driving a magna 1.2 kappa engine.

Hello Guys.. recently i purchased i20 sports(O), Superb car, i really enjoy driving it. interior of the car is beautiful, 13 km per litre mileage is giving. Car is perfect and i m very happy with my decision.

hi every one.. i want to chose a car for my parents. They barely use it..may be 20 km in a week.. so, stuck with the petrol version.. We statrted considering Chevy Beat LT(o) at first.. then vame Ford Figo titanium (petrol).. then VW polo comfortline (petrol) and later it was Hyundai i20 sports petrol.. seriously confused among these.. swift was ommited coz of its common nature.. Fabia was out of question due to its expensive maintenance... Pls do advice me on this problem.. my contact num is 9656666080.... thnku...

Try FIAT Punto Diesel, you will love it.Feature Rich and Good Mileage also..

Thanks for the feedback in detail
