| Senior - BHPian  | I wonder how i missed this thread. Congrats on the car. Blue looks simply awesome on the i20. With bigger rims in golden, it'll look like the Subaru impreza hatch! Pls post some better pix.  |

Sorry for the sparse posts, I don't spend much time in Bangalore, and consequently, with the I20. Yesterday was the first time I felt the engine to be very strained. On the way to Bangalore airport (NH7) with 4 people plus luggage plus AC on, and I think a slight uphill, the acceleration was pedestrian past 60 km/h. On the way back with 2 people, and probably the slight equivalent downhill, the car still felt spirited at 100-120. Quite a contrast. We are nearing 2000km with the car. No niggles apart from that rear door. Realized the tire pressure had become pretty low, which adversely affected handling - so filled that up yesterday as well. | ||||

But what is really neat about the car is that the Power Windows,Cigarette Lighter and the ORVMs can be operated for x seconds after turning off the ignition.No more turning on the ignition again when we forget to turn up the windows As far as performance goes - this unit is trully a city car and a true Hyundai. Zippy and nimble at low speeds and extremely lathargic at 80+ Nothing a few performance mods cant fix, but dont expect it to outgun a swift ddis. Quote:
The car feels pretty agile and nible at city speeds but as the needle crosses 80 the engine runs out of breath. This is a car for cruzing not ripping but IMO it goes with the image of the car. This is a status car not a drivers car. But the CRDi power plant is really good and quite different from the DDIS. It doesnt quite have the "push you back in your seat" surge of the DDIS but the torque is available on every gear which makes it fun to drive at high speeds - no more downshifting to overtake that annoying truck Quote:

 is that ok considering the stock size is 14". I wonder what it would do to the handling and ride of this car not to mention the speedo error. But if it works, man how amazing would that look!!Quote:

The rear seats seem to be sunk in a lot more than most cars so the passengers do feel slighty detached from the world but shoulder to shoulder room is quite decent. PS: Just in case you were wondering, the rear legroom is much much better than the swift and the grande punto both of which are really cramped up at the back - especially the punto.
