Cheap to run, peppy engines, enjoyable to drive, decent equipment levels, good quality interior

Automatic version underpowered, noisy at speed, ride on the firm side
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.
