Cheap to buy and run, well-equipped, neat styling.
Noisy diesel engine, cheap-feeling dash, iffy ride.
Not as good to drive as a Fiesta, but impossible to rule out i20's superior value.
As a brand, Hyundai has plenty of work to do if you believe the results of the most recent JD Power survey where it finished in a dismal 17th place behind Land Rover.
The Getz (the car the i20 replaces) finished mid-table in 55th out of 100 - a very mediocre result. Reliability wasn't an issue, it was the poor interior quality and exterior styling that irked owners - both of which have been addressed with the neater styling and improved cabin quality.
That said, the all-new i20 still disappoints once your fingers actually begin poking and probing the new dash. Even with our car's range-topping metal effect centre console it feels cheap and definitely not cheerful.
