Got one last month, absolutely love it. I love how quiet it is and how easy it is to drive. Love the (almost) flat floor between back seats and massive boot.
nice video. I found you yesterday and ive been watching 15ish videos. Like your style of reviewing. Will you be looking at a peugeot 208? I saw that you had a gti version up but will you look at the normal one?
Klas Lilja Thanks. Yes, I have a 208 FL lined up some time in autumn. I can only do one review per week, so with all the new stuff coming out a facelift is not at the top of my list.
Marek Drives ah ok. Yeah I can imagine that there a lot of cars on the schedule before. Thanks for the reply though and I will have to wait until autumn then ;).
I recently discovered you. You are very good in what you do. Congratulations! One small thing I noticed. When you start the engine by turning the key, shouldn't you wait for one second? For the so called check engine? Keep up the good work! Greetings from Greece!
Thanks :) Back in the day with old diesel engines you had to wait for the glow plugs to heat up (the little yellow coil light had to disappear, before you could turn the engine one). In petrol engines you just start the car, although it is recommended you give the car 10-20 second idle time for the oil to start circulating (especially on cold days). Just remember you're not supposed to keep a cold engine running for longer periods, because once the oil is circulating, you need to get it up to temperature, and the only way of doing it is through driving. That being said, for videos you just show a sequence of shows: doors shut, key in the ignition, start, gear, drive off, and all that takes seconds, rather than tens of seconds.
Like your reviews very much but please tell me if you have to chose between new Mazda 2 (75hp) or Hyundai i20 (82hp), what would it be - I,m just curious.
Such a great review!! Really enjoyed it! I still find it strange though that Hyundai would allow you to pick options such as heated seats, a heated steering wheel, lane departure, etcetera, but not actually give you the choice for a built-in sat-nav. Some manufacturers like Renault offer some of their cars with the Medianav as standard, and the premium R-Link at an extra cost, so I find it odd that Hyundai would only allow buyers to use a mobile phone with a much smaller screen for navigation, rather than giving the option to buy a proper integrated system. For potential buyers who are considering this car but had an integrated sat-nav in their previous vehicle, I think it would put them off.
DRiVEandRiDE TV I suppose it may depend on the local market preferences. In this segment in Poland sat nav is probably the last option people would choose.
Marek Drives Yeah, the i20 seems the logical choice. It's roomier, quieter, more reliable and with a longer warranty. But damn that Clio is a looker, especially in red.
hi marek, you mentioned the diesel version of the i20. was it the 1.4 90hp engine? if so, what was your impression in terms of "performance", sound level etc.? rather smooth or does it feel like a tractor? thanks in advance!
LLawliet182 Yes, it was a 1.4 90 hp. Very civilised at cruising speed. Not too bad around town, but there's no denying an oil burner is sitting under the bonnet.
+Marek Drives is the i20 fun to drive, can u race it around town, my friend rented the Peugeot and it was fun. what would you recommend? and is the fiesta really that fun?
Purplefabian When I was young and foolish, I though Fiat 126 with tinted windows and "sport" sticker was relatively sporty. From this perspective 208, i20, etc. are great cars that you can hoon about in. Even better if they are your parents' cars, because then you don't have to pay for damages. However if you'd like to feel a bit of sportiness, Fiesta is the one to go for. And to make it really fun, you want the ST version.
I'd go for the Mazda 2 or Fiesta. We don't get the i20 in Canada. The closet thing is the Hyundai Accent hatchback. The rear visibility isn't that good in the Accent.
I have an iphone 6 which doesnt fit into the adapter on the smartphone dock. Could you please give me some indication of what i need to do or buy in order to fix this? I cant seem to find an answer for this anywhere!
Your ''problem'' at 6:10 only happens, because the seat is positioned too much forward, compared to the length of your legs. Two reasons your knee hurt. Great video though.
+CounterNic It's the closest I can get to a correct and comfortable driving position. The problem doesn't concern everyone, but it's something to look out for, when choosing a car.
CounterNic This one was particularly bad, because of the way the lower part of the centre console was shaped. That's why I pointed it out. In many cars the footwell wall is just flat all the way down. Here there's a tip/corner sticking out. I know it's rounded, but it touched my kneecap, so I think concerns about (at least my) safety are legitimate.
yep, that's why im having difficulties choosing the car. I can get the i20 1.2 premium (2016) for less than 10K€ and the polo 1.4 SE (2015) also for less than 10K. I like the looks of the i20 more, but the polo offers sat nav. I don't know what to choose =(

I really like your expression: "It's one of those cars you buy with your head, not your heart". I think this will be a good first car for me.
I really want one, seems like it has everything I'd want from a car.

@@MarekDrives Thanks for your time!👍😉💪🇬🇷

4tom2u I haven't driven Mazda2 yet. I will in late summer/early autumn. Check back for a review.
Marek Drives sure will
Great review. Are you going to review also the 2015 Hyundai i30?
Screaming Eagle Not if I can help it ;) But I am going to the KIA cee'd facelift launch event in a couple of weeks, so that should be similar.
Great review. Keep up the good work!
Great video Marek many thanks

Great review Marek. If you had to choose between this and the facelifted Clio as a daily driver, which one would you go for?
Probably i20.
Marek Drives Yeah, the i20 seems the logical choice. It's roomier, quieter, more reliable and with a longer warranty. But damn that Clio is a looker, especially in red.
But interior is cheap and impractical.
hi marek, you mentioned the diesel version of the i20. was it the 1.4 90hp engine? if so, what was your impression in terms of "performance", sound level etc.? rather smooth or does it feel like a tractor?
thanks in advance!
LLawliet182 Yes, it was a 1.4 90 hp. Very civilised at cruising speed. Not too bad around town, but there's no denying an oil burner is sitting under the bonnet.
Nice review. I would still want a Fiesta or Fabia over this, but I can't quite work out why. Any chance of a facelifted A6 review? :)
Not in the near future.
+A.R.K Dean fabia is crap... ugly and noisy car...
Its a great review. Greetings from Turkey! Are you planning of reviewing the new face lifted 208?
mersiboku Yes, I've got it lined up, but in autumn.
Very nice and valid car!
Jyundaii202015
Petrol or diesel ?
Hi marek I wondered when u are driving the Hyundai i20 does it tells you when you increase and decrease gearshift when driving, so its economical
+Courtney Price It does.
+Marek Drives is the i20 fun to drive, can u race it around town, my friend rented the Peugeot and it was fun. what would you recommend? and is the fiesta really that fun?

However if you'd like to feel a bit of sportiness, Fiesta is the one to go for. And to make it really fun, you want the ST version.
Marek Drives
thank you very much for answering! st is my dream but it also costs double as much as the i20 so I will probably buy the i20.
Super car!
What about i20 Active version (with 1.4 petrol engine)? Is it worth buying too?
No clue. I haven't seen it, I haven't driven it.
I'd go for the Mazda 2 or Fiesta. We don't get the i20 in Canada. The closet thing is the Hyundai Accent hatchback. The rear visibility isn't that good in the Accent.
I have an iphone 6 which doesnt fit into the adapter on the smartphone dock. Could you please give me some indication of what i need to do or buy in order to fix this? I cant seem to find an answer for this anywhere!
nice car. I really love it :)
How good are Hyundai engines???
Like i20 1.2l

+Marek Drives Sure is something to look out for. But won't you have a similar problem in other smaller cars?

What would you recommend : i20, polo or rio?
Honestly? For me there is no prefect car in the B segment at the moment.
yep, that's why im having difficulties choosing the car. I can get the i20 1.2 premium (2016) for less than 10K€ and the polo 1.4 SE (2015) also for less than 10K. I like the looks of the i20 more, but the polo offers sat nav. I don't know what to choose =(
arabayı kötülemek için taraflı yapılmış bir test araba gerçekte mükemmel hangi firmanın adamı bunlar ?
Looks like honda civic
Like a very old Civic maybe. The color definitely gives
that 70s vibe :)
Take off your sunglasses. Youre an adult and not an maffioso or youngster. Great review thuogh.
Thanks. They are called sunglasses for a reason. It's that or me squinting into the camera.
You know zero
