 I've driven a few and found it a great little car around town.

Bit slow building up speed on the m/way when you have to slow down and then speed up again.

I think we should (and will) get the i10 next year in Oz... :goodjob:

Better looking than Suzuki's Alto..... :goodjob:

Shame they don't put some decent size wheels on it.  :undecided:

A friend of mine likes tiny cars and had had a test drive of lots of types early last year. I'd seen a very good review of the i10 and mentioned it - and he bought one. He thinks it is great, can park in small gaps and he thinks it goes well on the motorway.

It was that which got me looking at the i30 actually.

Looks like they won't be heading to Australia though, because of the 4 star NCAP rating if this article is right -

Thanks for the link Diablo...(very interesting and some fair logic there)

I think it was my contact at the local Hyundai that gave me the impression we WERE getting the i10 sooner or later  :undecided: (probably just wishful thinking as they are missing the sales numbers of the getz)
