In 2023 - after 150,000 kilometers I can only say - probably the best car ever produced. Once needed new tires, battery change, once a new bulb for the lighting, that was it. Absolute master class!
Can i just say that this car is bloody brilliant, my mother recently purchased a 1.2 SE and i drove it for a week around the UK for a road trip, and it was just such a pleasant ride. It's modern, it's quiet, it's nippy, it's precise. The only thing i didn't like about it was how sensitive the brakes felt, just a dab will jerk you forward. Anyone looking to purchase a new car should seriously consider this.
I hired a car for two days to look for a car to buy. I hired a Hyundai i10... was going too buy a focus 09. The time I finished my search and been driving this Hyundai for two days I ended up buying one...superb little car. The best I have driven by far
@@reece005 @dataSaMm It serves more than well. It's the greateat value for money car. And it is reliable. I have a 2009 one, petrol, 1100cc, 4 cylinders. And at the time it costed 9500€ new. Wich was a true bargain. I've seen no problems anywhere. But of course all its service checks were/are on time. After all those years, I'd still buy the same car. And I'm not even a Hyundai fan but that car hasn't ever let me down and I drive about 35kms a day 5 days a week. I don't know and I can't say anything about diesel ones or 3cylinder ones. Hope I helped and be careful in used ones cause no matter what car it is, you don't know what's done to it from the previous owner
I took this little car for a test drive today , I own a audia4 avant 130bhp and I found this car very nice and enjoyable to drive, my first car I ever owned was a 1 litre, (Austin metro) how cars have changed ! I think this review is very accurate.
I own one and I'll tell you that of all the super mini's around this is the best so far that I have driven. I have tried driving a Honda Brio, Mazda 2 Hatch, Suzuki Swift, Kia Picanto, Ford Fiesta (better to drive but the back seats are horrendous to sit in) and Toyota Wigo and the interior quality and the drive of this one really came up on top. If you are extremely picky and wanted a very good small family car for your growing family, pick this one, you won't be disappointed. I never had any problems with this whatsoever. A little tire roll is the worst that it's ever exhibited. It is quite the looker as well - the black (looks like a Veloster) and maroon colored ones. :-)
Bought my i10 2014, still going strong, in all them years only had issue with exhaust once, other than normal wear and tear (tyres, wipers) the best car ever
Great motor. Unbeatable quality and performance for the money. Puts the rip off manufacturers to shame. Well done Hyundai and a honest review carbuyer. I have a i20 at the present and think I will switch to the i10 wqhen the piggy bank is full.
i really love this review (lol @ the grin)...one of the best reviews ive seen lately covers everything thats important, going to check out his other reviews.
Looking on the Hyundai site and a new car comes with a 5 year warranty and unlimited mileage which is really good they must have trust in their cars other brands come with 3 years 60,000 miles give me 5 years warranty
Fantastic video as always Mat, I am buying this car but don't know which engine version to choose. From what I have heard, the 1.2 is a bit noisier than the 1.0.
I test drove this and loved it. Only problem was the brakes are very grabby so it could take some getting used to. Apart from that though its pretty decent.
***** really, my ford fiesta 1.6 litre diesel will do 4.5 litres per 100km in the city with AC on. suprisingly it'll do the same mpg at highway speeds above 90km/h. any constant speed at 90 km/hr it'll do 3.5 litres per 100km, even with a.c on
Yeah it looks good and stuff, but I can't stop thinking that this is more of a paid publicity video than a proper review... anyways it's carbuyer so overall it was great to watch!
I have drive in city the first generation of hyundai i10.I was impressed. Plastics was hard but not cheap.The quality of building was very good. Also I was impressed with all the car.The quality of ride and the comfort from the suspension was very good,especially if you think that i10 is a small city car.Also I had the feeling that I drive a solid car.Better,better from my 206 in quality,in comfort,in ride quality
I bought a Kia Picanto few months ago and it has almost ALL features this car has (plus more) and looks way better. If anything, it seems the i10 is trying to become more like the Picanto. (see its review link at the end) I don't see how the new i10 is better.
He did a review of the older i10, 1.0 ltre model where he says the 1.0 litre was useless on a motorway and recomended the 1.2. Yet here with the new model he says the opposite... 1.0 litre is good enough for the motorway, So which is it? I don't think they remodelled the engines; or did they? Why would he change views if indeed they didn't?
im not sure if Carbuyer does list when they first produced this car and when did they stop making this model i mean is say for example they made this newer shape in 2013 and they made it untill 2015. this would be usefull if your looking through internet to see prices for what year the car you want.
Hi i have this car, are those 2 lights on the front meant to be on constantly, i thought they were the fog lights but they only seem to turn off when you have low beam on ? Any help would be great
Please give me advise if I should buy the Chevy Spark or Hyundai i10? I'm kind of like the look of the new i10 but don't really know much about Hyundai. Thank you guys.
Good. With the new i10 the benchmark for this class of cars has been raised yet again. The PSA/Toyota triplets are really getting old now; hopefully they'll get their new models out soon.
I don´t know if the cars are different in the UK Vs Denmark, but i´ve had a drive in the i10 with the 1.0 engine and i don´t agree on a few points. Firstly the steering is quite numb and it´s hard to feel what the front wheels are doing. Secondly the seats are quite uncomfortable, compared to a Citigo.. Yes, it¨s very quiet in the cabin and the engine is not as noisy as a Citigo, but i´m quite dissapointed with the i10. It has it´s plus sides, but i would rather take my Citigo, than the i10 on a long journey, because of the better ride and handling.
benanderson89 Yeah? I have a car and i drive the one i find best. Wouldn´t it be stupid to drive the worst? That doesn´t mean i can´t say bad things about the Citigo, because i can, but i am just comparing them.
What I learned from this review 1) some cars can be so perfect they hurt the credibility and reliability of your reviews. 2) some people with bad eyes, such as this guy, think this Hyundai looks good. 3) anyone who gives a car the car-of-the-year-award in January is clearly fucking paid for advertising.
agree this review is hilarious, now im expecting new rear engine twingo to get 'car of the decade' when they test it... oh and i drove i10s base version, that 'expensive looking' plastic isnt that good made at all and i hated no feedback steering. yet another dull korean honda
ax1911 I agree,,, to many modern cars have really weird steering feel or lack of it.. Also the brakes are rather hard on this car.. I do not think the new twingo will get car of the decade award but it is refreshing to see an alternate drivetrain in a cheaper car than all the fwd out there combined with some funky looks... Get some personality back into cars.. They all start to look the same...
1 - Depends on point of view 2 - I think she is a pretty car too in that category, just new Aygo 2014 is better 3 - Prebably because you did not see is a Car of the year for 2013... not 2014...

When did u buy it?
im about to do my driving test next week and if I pass I will be able to drive this car because my parents will give it to me

so i suppose you eventually get used with the brakes?
Sure, 4 days in of constant driving will get you used to it.

Have you still got it, did it serve you well?
I was thinking the same thing. 😃

I am not impressed by your performance.
disgraceland uk huh?
Did you buy it?
are you 65 yet?
@@buck3401 not yet 😊
I have my first driving lesson in this car tomorrow. Really cant wait, the car is fantastic as well.
I rented the Hyundai i10 the automatic version for two days, it is a great little car. I think that i am going to buy one!
Excellent review my mum picked up a 14 plate premium model for £9300 now that's value for money.

Just bought a 2014 i10 and I am delighted with it 😊
I am the proud owner of Hyundai GRand i10 in India..its fun to drive in city and on highways..great mileage n superb ride n handling..
Bought my i10 2014, still going strong, in all them years only had issue with exhaust once, other than normal wear and tear (tyres, wipers) the best car ever

ΙΤS JUST MID - JANUARY AND YOU HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN YOUR WINNER FOR 2014!
WELLDONE!!!!!!
Well done Hyundai, i like clever small cars like this.
The subtitles are a nice touch. Always getting better, you are.
Getting this for my first car when I’m 17 looks nice
Well. Did you get it?
Well. Did you get it?
i really love this review (lol @ the grin)...one of the best reviews ive seen lately covers everything thats important, going to check out his other reviews.
I was stuck on getting the i30 as my next car but now I'm having a bit of a rethink!!!!!

I test driver one of these and I can honestly say it drives better than my Vauxhall corsa. well done Hyundai
A friend of mine has this car and its such an improvement over the previous i10 version which i currently own.

Thanks mate .. Great review !
The car is new in Egypt and my family is considering buying it !
Done 650km with my new i10.
7.0 litres per 100km - 85% city (half time with AC on) / 15% motorway
***** really, my ford fiesta 1.6 litre diesel will do 4.5 litres per 100km in the city with AC on.
suprisingly it'll do the same mpg at highway speeds above 90km/h. any constant speed at 90 km/hr it'll do 3.5 litres per 100km, even with a.c on
+OhPoWneDiel Well that's one advantage of a good diesel engine, obscenely good mpg.
Eitan Rosenberg Damn son, my dodge caravan 3.6L pentastar will do 8L with the ac on on a roadtrip...

Got one in Aqua sparking:) she is a beautiful car xx
Drove an i10 rental on Mallorca two weeks ago. Great little car.
Hyundai! Bring this car to Canada!
fantastic car! it is one of the most successful car in india selling close to a 700-800 thousand every year!!!
😂😂😂 I see he enjoyed this second review like a party
living in denmark and i think it is a good start car.
Well i'm afraid Hyundai will take over Toyota Dynasty
Wouldn't be hard as Toyota's are boring. :)
Peter Sims they look sooo ugly these days
@@Rally4Life1982 Who cares if they are boring if they never break down... After all, that's a whole point of a car...
Fair enough it's a good little car. But 2014 just started when you made this video, how come you already have a car of the year!!!
i love mat so much!! keep him in all the videos, his entertaining to watch :) go mat!
I bought a Kia Picanto few months ago and it has almost ALL features this car has (plus more) and looks way better. If anything, it seems the i10 is trying to become more like the Picanto. (see its review link at the end)
I don't see how the new i10 is better.
Well done little i10.
Matt from carbuyer reminds me of a less cocky version of my chemistry teacher
With the new PSA, Toyota cars and the new Renualt Twingo this year I would hold off on getting the Hyundai atm.
Today my daughter is buying this car, the 2014 model .🎉
You are seriously gorgeous!! thank you for the reviews.. xx
Nineties Chick I agree, he's a hottie! 😍
fantastic review.
thank you
Is the fuel consumtion good?
how does this stack up against suzuki swift 1.2 petrol?
Check out our website for all the info!
Carbuyer thanks
stobi mains
Good build quality for a cheap city car,nice looks and the price is amazing the top spec model is the same price as a base model vw up!
He did a review of the older i10, 1.0 ltre model where he says the 1.0 litre was useless on a motorway and recomended the 1.2. Yet here with the new model he says the opposite... 1.0 litre is good enough for the motorway, So which is it? I don't think they remodelled the engines; or did they? Why would he change views if indeed they didn't?
Why are all the reviews for this car only by uk people? Is it only available in Europe?
carbuyer: now featuring CONSTANT adverts for our website, and less car review :)
This is fantastic small car! I'm impressed.
Awesome car!!! I will buy one!
It's too early for it to be awarded "Car of The Year".
4:20 Typical BMW driver... Lol
Vladislav Velizanin that’s just cause u can’t afford one lmao
@@Whiponized oh yes he can afford one. He just chose the i10 and with the rest of the money bought a house
@@Whiponized this is what BMW drivers actually think 😂 BMW's aren't even that expensive or exclusive anymore
@@CalinFR you can’t buy any good house with that money lol but he could invest it
Honestly no steering wheel reach adjustment is a major deal-breaker. Such a shame.
I test drove one of these the other day and it definitely had a steering wheel adjustment lever.
im not sure if Carbuyer does list when they first produced this car and when did they stop making this model i mean is say for example they made this newer shape in 2013 and they made it untill 2015. this would be usefull if your looking through internet to see prices for what year the car you want.
Is this good for first drivers ?
I have the 1.2 litre 2012 reg and it’s surprisingly bad on fuel economy. I achieve 31 mpg in city driving and around 40 in highway .
is it better than its big sister i20 in term of handling and steering feel ?
Interesting to see how much it will sell in the UK now that you've also got the Dacias :)
Great review!
Mii/Up!/Citigo owners will hate this i10 :)
5:17 hahahahahha omg, just me or he did he get that from jeremy clarkson?
xBuzz996 lololol
Nice review. Makes me want one.
it's soooo good .i can't believe i said that to a hyundai but it is .
All the excitement of a tin of magnolia paint.
Do u look forward to the new Mondeo this year??
Look better then ever
Hi i have this car, are those 2 lights on the front meant to be on constantly, i thought they were the fog lights but they only seem to turn off when you have low beam on ? Any help would be great
Hi. These are also daytime running light which means yes, they're meant to be on continuously unless your headlights are turned on.
Please give me advise if I should buy the Chevy Spark or Hyundai i10?
I'm kind of like the look of the new i10 but don't really know much about Hyundai.
Thank you guys.
chevy spark man it;s amazing car :)
i have the same problem, but i actually like this one more
Don't buy Garbage Motors man..
Tung Nguyen They're both built in South Korea so quality should be around the same, I would go with i10 but look at reviews of both.
Is a toyota yaris 2012 with a parking camera better
picking mine up on thursday! :D
This new i10 makes other city cars look cheap in equipment and execution e.g. proper windows, 5 seats, decent leg room back and front, airbags
Good. With the new i10 the benchmark for this class of cars has been raised yet again. The PSA/Toyota triplets are really getting old now; hopefully they'll get their new models out soon.
on the basic model without remote central locking how do you lock the car?
The key, like in 1912
How the hell can it be the car of the year 2014 when the year has just started?
TheCapedCoconut just that good
It looks. Way To Go. hungry dapper !!
hoping this will be my first car when i pass my test!
Swag
i hope you do review also the genesis coupe 3.8 r spec..
As per looks ,i10 indian module looks good, but here are more features like 6 airbags ....
I thought Hyundai parts were expensive???
These are good cars. I really like mine.
hi is he got timing chain or belt?
Very nice video, can be believed
Less CO2 is not just good for economical reasons but, more importantly, for ecological/environmental reasons as well.
I don´t know if the cars are different in the UK Vs Denmark, but i´ve had a drive in the i10 with the 1.0 engine and i don´t agree on a few points.
Firstly the steering is quite numb and it´s hard to feel what the front wheels are doing. Secondly the seats are quite uncomfortable, compared to a Citigo..
Yes, it¨s very quiet in the cabin and the engine is not as noisy as a Citigo, but i´m quite dissapointed with the i10. It has it´s plus sides, but i would rather take my Citigo, than the i10 on a long journey, because of the better ride and handling.
Michael Pagh Your comment kinda fell down when you said "MY Citigo". So there is obviously a lot of Bias in there.
benanderson89 Yeah? I have a car and i drive the one i find best. Wouldn´t it be stupid to drive the worst?
That doesn´t mean i can´t say bad things about the Citigo, because i can, but i am just comparing them.
Michael Pagh Because its not a fair comparison. Its "here is a product I have purchased" vs "here is one I have only briefly looked at".
Picking mine up on fri 👍
Its a bit early to make it car of the year 2014 when its only January when it was reviewed
Will this be sold in the USA?
for 100 years maybe
Mat Watson before Carwow!
Isn't it a bit premature to give a car of the year award in January 2014, what if something better comes out later on in the year?
Annoyed by the fact that Hyundai doesn't sell this car in their homeland and I live there and I want one!
What I learned from this review
1) some cars can be so perfect they hurt the credibility and reliability of your reviews.
2) some people with bad eyes, such as this guy, think this Hyundai looks good.
3) anyone who gives a car the car-of-the-year-award in January is clearly fucking paid for advertising.
agree this review is hilarious, now im expecting new rear engine twingo to get 'car of the decade' when they test it... oh and i drove i10s base version, that 'expensive looking' plastic isnt that good made at all and i hated no feedback steering. yet another dull korean honda
And wasn't the i30 car of the year last year? hmmm. Let's check Matts bank account!! Korean deposit me thinks!!!
ax1911 I agree,,, to many modern cars have really weird steering feel or lack of it.. Also the brakes are rather hard on this car..
I do not think the new twingo will get car of the decade award but it is refreshing to see an alternate drivetrain in a cheaper car than all the fwd out there combined with some funky looks... Get some personality back into cars.. They all start to look the same...
1 - Depends on point of view
2 - I think she is a pretty car too in that category, just new Aygo 2014 is better
3 - Prebably because you did not see is a Car of the year for 2013... not 2014...
It's an ugly car whatever else it has going for it.
I'm getting a 2009 1.2 comfort with 30 odd thousand miles on it for a tad under 4,000.
Love my i10 😊
Well it seams KIA got that thing just right, does not look to bad either for such a small and affordable car.
that a look at the paint around the "hyundai" at 1:48
That's dirt! We're not very good as washing cars, sorry...

haha, my bad) nice review by the way..cheers mate
Lovely car. I welcome our Korean overlords.
Why do these cars have such poor speedometers with most of the important numbers missing for the UK; 30, 50, 70?
