Price Range: £7,600 to £8,700
Well-equipped, cheap, roomy, economical, five-year warranty.
Looks dull, very slow with auto gearbox, noisy at high speeds.
Not fashionable, but a practical, cheap and usable runabout.
The Korean-built i10 shares some components, including its 1.1-litre petrol engine, with sister company Kia's little Picanto. But it's not just a rebadged Kia: most of its structure is unique.
Hyundai has a good track record for reliability, however, and consistently scores well in customer satisfaction surveys.
The Amica was dependable: a few automatic versions suffered gearbox problems, but otherwise, the only owner complaints were minor gripes over interior quality. The i10's cabin is a marked upgrade from that of the Amica, with better attention to detail and nicer plastics and materials.
