12.5km/l ? That is good compared to mine, am getting 10km/l or less. Yours is 1.25 also ?

Just done my 3rd servicing.. Btw regarding that 17km/L, what speed are they driving also we dunno. I find my tyres still ok,although i may be changing it soon to something more better. (how do one notice that the tyres roar on the road?)and is there anything wrong with NCT 5 series tyre? i though they were suppose to be good?

@gamer88, hard to say.. maybe 370-380? (i tend to drive according to speed limit, not 70-80 XD)

nope never sit in i10 before

Yup mine's 1.25 too. 12.5 km/l is for 80% highway 20% city drive. 10km/l? Did you change your rims/tyres or did any mod? That FE's quite bad IMO

Indeed, but to be very far off that value is really something to think about. What's your mileage btw?

Well haha I've been reading a lot on tyres & stuff and ppl seem to use this 'roar' term to refer to tyre noise on the road. To me they do sound like roars 
Just google it & search for feedbacks/comments from Malaysians.. IMO NCT5 seems to set benchmark for terrible tyres. When ppl wanna complain about a tyre, they compare how bad it is to NCT5

Wow it's amazing that you drive according to speed limit! That surely would save fuel+higher mileage per tank.

FC is bad when its new. same here. damn heart pain. but later things get better.

i bought it.

but the thing is it feels fragile and things get loose easily around the suspension area. and steering.

No, did not MOD or changes anything. Already running more than 3,000km now, still the same, just fill up RM59 RON95 petrol today after running 302km.

lol i get you madcow1. this car's only for those who's driven it & felt the difference.. A spot-on motto! Or something like that 

The only problem recently, I've been driving my i10 for 3-4 months, I am going for 3rd servicing this Tuesday. (exceed 12,500 km). My prob is: After 2nd servicing the fuel consumption has been dropping seriously. I use to be able to get 360-380km per tank, now only get about 300km.

Should i change service centre? I go to the AVANTEGARDE CAR CARE CENTRE in Cheras, Desa Tun Razak. or...any advise??
Other than that ...No problem so far, Still happily driving and i am glad i've chosen this car.

my i10 also facing the same problem as yours, after serviced it in Cheras service centre, then FC drop very seriously.
then i changed to another service centre in Seri Kembangan, the workshop people told me that Cheras service centre sometimes not using genuine products from Hyundai.

Hi all... this is my i10 1.25... ^^

Third service already? Nicee  Owhh I didn't know steering misalignment's common after hitting potholes.. but then I do feel it getting misaligned sometimes  That's great, I read somewhere that it's best to check them weekly. How much pressure do you use?

I'm not sure about Falken ZE.. I've read that they're good when new but eventually turn pretty bad later. Not sure though, I didn't read much on them 

imo the excellent tyres at 14" is Michelin XM2. They're very long lasting (main selling point by Michelin I think), very quiet & have excellent grip. What's special though is that ppl claimed to get a hike in mileage per tank when switching to XM2. This one guy claim he jumped from 360km to 420km. Others said their FE jumps from 13km/l to 15-16km/l.  The tyres seem to have very low rolling resistance, which means.. err easier to roll->less energy to move them->lower FC, e.g. you've released the pedal yet the car doesn't slow down as much as it would before, since the wheels doesn't lose that rolling energy easily. You'd also notice ppl would have to get used to it.. to a new style of braking haha.

The problem with XM2 is that their common size at 14" is 185/60 which is quite too wide for i10 stock rims. Not sure though, haven't consulted with tyre shops. Another option is to upsize to 15", you can get lighter rims & broader range of excellent tyres i.e. Michelin PS3, hankook v12 and a lot of others. High performance tyres like these only starts at 15" & above as far as I'm aware of. BUT, I'm really just an amateur haha, I just gather what I've read so far  Try googling for these tyres like XM2 and PS3.. mycarforum and autoworld forum has a lot of discussion on tyres, seems a lot experts are there. I couldn't find much about tyres on LYN forums....

Whoaa I also go to Cheras!  May be a good choice to change to a different center next time.. thanks for the tip!

Well i think it's coz it's Electronic powered, not the old type of power steering .. just go slow/evade/try not to go over potholes . XM2,thats pretty pricey right i don't wanna spend on rims and tyres leh.. cost even more

Haha yea I've been avoiding holes ever since I felt the slight misalignment. Lol yeaa they're pricey, almost as pricey as 15" performance tyres! Which is why I suggested upsizing. But they last longer which is good, may not need to change tyres as often.. have to read more comments on that though to prove that. But seriously I'm tempted by the higher FE.. & lower noise compared to NCT5!

New wheels! What rims & tyres are you using?Can you comment on your ride i.e handling/smoothness etc?

Yup mine's 1.25 too. 12.5 km/l is for 80% highway 20% city drive. 10km/l? Did you change your rims/tyres or did any mod? That FE's quite bad IMO

When i first got my car i just go over those potholes only well but seriously in terms of handling i really like the i10's one I feel short when i'm driving my sis's vios Now just might wanna go trade in those NCT 5 for something else =(

Hi bro, my rim spec is 15" works maister + falken Azenis 165/50/R15 tyre...!!!
handling good... cos 15" rim not so big n heavy also... so overall is ok....!!!

Hi all, mine one also 12-12.5 km/L.....!!!

Couldn't agree more, this car's fun to drive. Before I bought it, I was curious as to why so many ppl said so. I thought they're just like i10 fanboys or something lol. But then, the car really is fun to drive. To me one of the best things of going to work is 1. driving to work & 2. driving home from work  So err iklan jap hehe. To potential i10 buyers who's reading this post, make sure you test drive it first & compare to to myvi saga etc. Feel the difference first & you'll know why it's worth it 

Hmm as much as I'm annoyed by these NCT5 tyres, I don't have the budget to change them yet =( Perhaps another 3 months or so.. anyway do tell us when you've changed yours! Would love to get some feedback

Oh nice that the rims aren't heavy!   So your FC remains the same is it?

Yup things def get better! but i'm not sure about the fragile/things get loose? i haven't had any.. I think.

Holes=pain in the ***. BUT only if your tyres' under-pressured IMO. I've been toying with the amount of pressure & frequency of pumping them.. your tyres should never be below 200 psi or you'll really, terribly feel every potholes & bad road surfaces. I find 240 psi to be the sweet spot (too hard->bumpy; too low->driving not smooth). Pump them once every two weeks if possible.. I wonder why my tyres lose pressure easily though, have to pump them almost every week

Whoa.. I seriously think it should've gotten better after your 1st service. Seems like something's not right.. not that I know a lot about cars though, but you might wanna have it checked. The worse I think should be 330-340.. o maybe you just have a heavy foot? But still it doesn't seem right 

Seriously, need to check the pressure every week ? Wow, it is quite hard b'cos all those pumper at petrol station always down.

Just check the tyres pressure this week, it seem the front wheels are under pressured. Hopefully the FC will be better now. Can't wait for next service to reset the so call LOW FC button.

yes the FC more n less same...... not heavy... cos i only up 1 size...!!! (14" > 15"). In europe that also have option pakage come with original hyundai 15" rim + 175/50/r15 tyres...!!!
can also have a look on this link:- http://www.hyundai.de/pages/modelle/i10/zubehoer.html
N the i10 UEFA EURO 2012 edition also come with 15" rims... check this link:- http://www.hyundai.de/pages/modelle/i10/ue...12_edition.html

Far from compulsory; it's just advisable. If you find your tyre pressures maintaining over longer periods of time, then it's fine. I think I'll be going to the Seri Kembangan Service Center too next time.

Glad to know european version hv several options for their tyres. Would be great if we had the same choices over here

Added on May 13, 2012, 9:50 pmAnybody know what's the stock rim's width? I'm hoping it's 5.5J....

yup... it's 5.5J....!!!

Went to my usual tyre shop and they told me only GoodYear NCT 5 has the 165/60/14 size. Does anyone knows if other brands do have similar sizes? Don't wanna change rim as i like the stock one. And weirdly, my fc seems back to normal (never visited SC as i overslept) And don't mind if i know whats is 5.5j?
