The Hyundai i10 is a small five-door hatchback that's compact and easy to drive. It was launched in 2008 and came with an aggressive list price and compact dimensions.

Buying new

Hyundai’s marketing tactic use low prices to increase brand awareness means even the most expensive i10 costs less than the least costly model offered by most alternatives. Add in generous specification levels and a five-year warranty and it's a great value car. However, this does mean that haggling for a decent discount may prove difficult.

The Comfort grade is the most popular i10, but even the entry-level Classic comes well equipped with features such as electric windows and air con which are often optional extras on other base-spec small cars. The 1.2-litre engine is the best choice - it was introduced in September 2008 so look for cars on a 58-plate or later.

Selling

The i10 is a new name in the Hyundai line-up and the company has previously had a baffling line-up of small cars. This may mean some buyers aren't aware of what kind of car it is. However, emphasise the fact it is affordable to run, economical and qualifies for low road tax and you'll soon generate plenty of interest.
