One more Hyundai i10 AT experience

hey Deep Blue.

Nice car and very good pics. Really like this color on i10.

Regarding your post above, does the i10 AT not come with a S mode? I thought all Auto cars had an S mode where the tranny holds the gear till u redline. I might be wrong though.

Also does the instrumentation show you the currently engaged gear? I once drove the Hyundai Sonata Transform AT in US and it had that feature. I feel its quite nifty thing to have.

Overall i would any day opt for the figo!!in terms of driving pleasure, i still love it whenever i drive my friend's figo.i have never ever got bored of it!!

Figo had to go for some dent repair, so had to take the i10. But yes I would prefer the Figo anyday.

i 10 has the regular P,R,N, D,2 and an L mode. Additionally there is a button to switch off the overdrive.
I am new to ATs, so I am not sure whether 2 and L modes correspond to the S mode you mentioned.
The instrumentation shows the mode the car is in as in P R N D 2 L

One and half years and 10000kms down the line I can only say " what a sweet little car!".
It has not given me any problems, not even a squeak. The only time I have to squirm a bit is when I fill the car up. But since the FE was known, I have sort of accepted it.
It is the perfect city hatchback.. Well, almost!

Thanks for the update. i am in the market for an Automatic Hatch and have a used i10 in mind. I drove it around a little and had some impressions which I would like to validate with you
(1) felt a little bit of a constant vibration from the accelerator pedal. I was soft on the pedal keeping in mind that it was not yet my car and i was driving an automatic after a long time.
(2) The brakes seemed very soft, i.e. it took a while before the effect of the brake was really felt on slowing the car.
I drove a few other AT sedans as well, verna old diesel and new petrol, laura, vento and corrolla. All of these I felt the Hyundai's had very soft brakes, while the others were much more responsive.
Do you feel the same in your car?

I) I haven't noticed the constant vibration in the accelerator pedal, so I am assuming it is not there. I will check again and confirm.
2) Yes, the brakes are a little slow atleast compared to my old Alto and Figo. I used to think Figo's brakes lacked "bite" but the i10 is worse. That said, for the speeds I achieve in town, it seems sufficient. Higher speeds on the highway would be a different story I guess.
