SHOULD YOU BUY THIS CAR?
This is a Very Solid car with decent soundproofing, Great Ride and handling and high speed stability. Check out the Top speed: 175km/h. And 0-100km/h in 12.2 seconds.
Test drive to agree with me. There's a reason behind...
Apparently the i10's Engineered, designed and tuned in India. This is to meet Indians requirements. This explained the Robustness of the chassis and suspension. Built to take on Indian Roads... If the i10 can survive Indian Roads, then Malaysian road conditions are piece of cake.
Note that our i10s are CKD, but the CKD pack Came from INDIA. The i10's only produced in 3 countries and NONE are Korea. It's Kulim, Malaysia, Chennai India and Mexico.
OVERALL I have NO REGRET Buying this Hyundai i10. Rating 9/10.
I bought this i10 for RM45,500 back in 2013. Today, with more safety kits now RM39,888 without insurance. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
