Model - Hyundai i10 Magna O (DATE OF PURCHASE : 18 Feb 2008)
Mileage (CITY with 100% AC) - 12-13 KMPL
Mileage (Highway with 50% AC) - 15-16 KMPL

I am rather a sedate driver,prefer cruising.

Hope it helps.
Thanks Raajiv, it helps

Yep, this is another reason why i prefer the Kappa.

The extra horses you talk off make very little material difference in real driving.
Doesn't Swift give this much fuel eco in city? Extra horses would make a difference on the highways, the 145kmph top speed of the 1.1 feels a bit limited, more than the top speed it would be the acceleration offered by the 1.2 that would make a difference.

We were too The boot space is infact 0. Put a sub there and it's gone! But i'm in love with the design though!! Also the equipment!
