Car reviews

The i10 is Hyundai's small five-door hatchback that replaces the ungainly Amica. It's similarly compact and easy to drive with light steering but is a huge leap forward in terms of design and quality. The cabin is modern and easy to get on with, while the materials used are impressive for a 'budget' car. There's also decent space with enough legroom in the back for two adults to travel in comfort. Two engines are available, but it's the 1.2-litre which is our choice - it offers nippy performance but the same 57mpg economy as the 1.1-litre and similarly low emissions. Along with a five-year warranty and low insurance groups, it means the i10 is very cheap to run.
