Yes the tires are 185/65 R14. I will with a couple of tyre dealership and find out what they are offering. Do you have any idea how much can i get for the New Stock tyres?
One more thing,the Car dealer told me that there are 4 companies providing the tyres for the i20,BRIDGESTONE,JK & a couple of others.I askedthem if its possible that i get a car fitted with BRIDGESTONES & they said they cannot guarantee that & they have only ordered 1 car in Black colour so i will not even have the option of having a wide choice to choose from.

Here in Goa all the i20 Crdi come with Apollo accelere's.

Not sure about how much you will get for the stock tires, it depends on the brand- expect about 1.5k to 2.5k roughly. Anyone from Bangalore who can give a better idea?

Check out options in Michelins and Yokohama, based on your driving style/ requirements...

Hey Anup,
i20 CRDi is an amazing piece of machinery. Congratulations on the booking.
Wish you happy miles ahead.
Do give a detailed review of the delivery process along-with pictures.
Black would be stunning..

Cheers,
Abhi

One of the good looking car in Indian Market.
Love to have one if anyone is gifted it

Enjoy and Drive safe.

Congrats on the booking.
definitely one of the best hatchbacks to own in the country right now

coolbareilly · 7th August 2009, 15:21

Congrats Anup. i20 is seriously a beautiful car. Do update us all once you receive your 89 horses.
Eagerly waiting for initial ownership reviews and pics...pics...pics

kuttapan · 7th August 2009, 15:28

Congratulations. i20 in black is a good choice. i20 is plenty powerful, drive it around for a while and see if you really need Pete's.

vijaythacker · 7th August 2009, 15:58

anup, congrats on your powerhouse, black surely looks cool.Any deals finalised with dealer, freebies as other said is surely possible just negotiate before finalising.

Three already !! Guys its time to put up an ownership thread

. I have been waiting for long to see owner's review of the car. All we have so far are vague inputs from test drives.

I have booked Asta.I think the only difference between Asta & Asta(o) is additional 4 airbags & sunroof and so we dint really feel the need to pay extra for these.

Hi Guys,

God I am excited when I say, "Booked i20 Asta CRDi in Black" yesterday.

My dealers are MGF Hyundai at Padivattom, Kochi. Highlights:

1. Paid 10K booking

2. 45 days+ delivery is really excruciating but its worth the wait. White is just a week away.

3. No Offers/Goodies/discounts

. The rep said he might be able to bless me with a reverse sensor. I recently came to know that the 'Anti-corrosion' would be a better bargain and will take it on as delivery nears.

4. There is Bluetooth connectivity now coming at no extra costs (Sportz and above)which was not there when I did a TD 2.5 weeks back. NOW we are even with Punto features.

Now that I have decided its something like the forces of nature conspiring to put doubts into my head which I am not happy about. The following comments came from ppl who knew I was planning on i20 but its only now (that i have booked)they put on their thinking caps and came up with following godly suggestions:

1. 14'' alloys is too less for a 1.4 90ps

2. Punto has got FPS(fire prevention system) instilled even to their uphoolestry which means FIAT is 'safer' buy.

3. The Punto has a 1.3 producing 90ps which means assured 18-23 kmpl on an average whereas for i20 the maths is between 15-20 kmpl.

4. The footwell of Punto is deeper and the gears wont shift untill you floor the clutches which means no need to pull back you seats compromising the rear leg-room.

5. The winds are changing for FIAT. FIAT A.S.S has taken the 2nd rung of the JD Power survey ladder in customer satisfaction.(Maruti tops JD customer satisfaction study; Fiat takes second! | Indian Car and Bike Blog).

6. Punto is loaded with offers like Rs.6500 diesel voucher, 2yr extended warranty and the 'Buy Diesel @ Price of Petrol'.

7. Waiting period is a puny 4-5 days.

I wont be changing my mind but i would like to give some answers for these doubt-harvesters.
