Hyundai i20 Hatchback (09 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 14 January 2009 Last Updated: 19 October 2010 The i20 is Hyundai's replacement for the Getz - previosuly its most popular model in the UK. It's a huge step forward from the car it replaces. This is a small hatchback from Hyundai that's good enough to be a realistic alternative to models like the Vauxhall Corsa and Toyota Yaris. It's neatly styled and robustly built too with a solid and well laid out interior while refinement is excellent - all the engines are smooth and the i20 cruises quietly on the motorway. Two new engines feature - a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.4-litre diesel - while the handling is impressive and the ride composed. Add in generous equipment levels, even on base-level cars, a five-year warranty plus low running costs and the i20 looks a great package. 4 out of 5 Other Hyundai reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4 out of 5 Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback (06 on) Excellent build quality, neat interior, roomy and comfortable cabin, safe handling, low emissions ecoFLEX model Lack of cabin stowage, lacklustre petrol engines Read full review 4 out of 5 Mazda 2 (07 on) Good to drive, stylish and sporty look, holds its value well, good equipment levels Awkward boot shape, noisy at speed, firm ride Read full review 4.5 out of 5 Volkswagen Polo Hatchback (09 on) Roomy interior, low running costs, beautifully built, good choice of engines, quiet on the motorway, Bluemotion version Not as exciting to drive as a Ford Fiesta Read full review Find other hatchback cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
