Just created an account so i can enquiry on this car.



I am seeing many promotion such as huge cash rebate until 5k++ and many more gifts. I think this car is a better car compared to Myvi except the spaces and the Engine's cc, but somehow the difference number of drivers between these cars are so huge. What is the factor that affecting this I10 Hyundai series? Is it the resale value, because korean cars have very bad resale value.

Anyway, i am interested in this car but i am worry there are other factors which affecting the sales/performance of the car. Any opinions and reviews will be thankful because i wish to hear more about this car from everyone since the i10 car club in this forum is really bad. Thanks in advance!

FYI, i also accept recommendation on cars that fell on similar specification and price.

if u can ignore abt resale value..this car definitely better than viva. in fact ride and handling better than first gen myvi.

Resale value, which usually goes hand in hand with ease of maintenance or vice versa. Personally, I have high praise for i10 as it is pretty nice to drive, very good handling for a car so small, and handles better than 1.5 Myvi, test drive experience.

Despite being a Hyundai, but the only thing it beats Myvi is the handling. No wonder the number of drivers between these two cars are so apart.

First of all, Myvi is B-segment compact while i10 is A-segment compact. Malaysians majority are more family oriented and space is always priority therefore Myvi gets to sell more.

The i10 despite being smaller, it is made heavier to pass basic EU safety standard with additional weight added to the base of the chassis for making the car higher. i10 is over 100kg heavier than Myvi, that explains why i10 is more stable when cornering.

Since i10 is assembled by InuCom, expect some minor mistakes made by the assembly plant idiots especially those goyang kaki management. Make sure you inspect everything on delivery day if you bought i10. They do correct the tiny non-technical clumsy error for you FOC.

FC wise, if you kept revving hard like mad due to heavier chassis especially if you are used to driving lightweight A/B-segment, worst you get is 12km/L city driving for the 1.25L kappa engine. If you drive normal, you can get 14km/L and if you go lightfoot without stuck in traffic much, you can still get the 16km/L. From my result, I rated i10 slightly better than Vios FC.

Myvi is nothing more than cost cutting empty shell with 1.3L engine. Reason why Myvi could beat i10 in acceleration mainly because it doesn't have to pass EU/US safety standard therefore, they don't add any weight to bottom to make sure the car stable.

Handling stability, maintenance & reliability/durability wise, i10 wins. RV, acceleration and interior space Myvi. You go test drive both then you decide. If you're a lady and you need safe city car, go for i10. Please note i10 FC in city driving is better only if you drive patiently due to acceleration 0-100km/h difference between both cars at 2s.

A very comprehend review. I am very light footed as i am driving 10 years Kenari and i usually drive on 2k-2.5k rpm. Any other weaknesses besides its size?

How are you going to use your car? Do you have children or you ferry people? Do you carry a lot of load?

I think there are better car for you to consider within your budget, but the i10 is a better car in its class

No children. Probably not gonna have children until 4-5 years later. Usually i am going to use this car in town (Penang) and go to work. I am avoiding sedan cars because the traffic in Penang is not so good. Fetching much people? hardly, usually only fetch my stead.

then i10 is a good choice for you. i've been using myvi fr 6 year (plus my mom's new myvi)..if given a chance (and money), i wont buy myvi. a good car..reliable enough..but soulless and boring.

I was going to recommend the i10 over the Myvi due to my belief that the Hyundai should have better quality, and the same reason theanswer just posted.

But then I remembered this



It's your decision to make

not sure about msian i10. but euro ncap it's 4 star. standard requirement for asean ncap to gain 4 star is, abs,ebd, 2 airbags and seat belt reminder. i think this one is 2008 model..the basic spec dont have abs and ebd.

Oh, I thought the ABS+EBD is standard across the whole i10 line? my mistake then

now yes. but i've remember that there used to be non abs model for i10. 2 spec for 1.1 and 1 premium spec 1.2 version.

The Hyundai website only states that the i10 has ABS+EBD, but doesn't state whether it is limited to the high spec only Anyway the i10 was tested in Dec 2012, so it should be a 2012 car.

I'm wit d others on d i10 1.25 over d Myvi.

Apart from RV, n space, d i10 would definately b more rewarding to drive. I managed to bring it up to 90kmh on d flyover over B.Baru roundabout (u shd noe hows d joints on tat flyover) n back thru coastal in a test unit without much concern on stability. Nicely weighted steering n above avg body control for a car of tis category.

nope. the car was tested on 2012..but look carefully, it was 2008 model.
current website is new website. i bet no more low spec.

I meant the car was manufactured in 2012 la, not the model

Anyway, the available models now is the 1.1 Colourz and 1.25 Colourz edition. lowest from RM52,888. If no ABS can kasi campak into sea dy

ya2..in fact even saga blm send 2 entries for asean ncap. first model only 1 star.

There are many offers down to 50k for the colors edition for the 1.25 cvvt variant. Yet its the 2013 car. Is this a good deal?

The crash test comparison between myvi and i10 doesn't make sense. I see less deformity on the i10 yet it only gets 2 stars compared to myvi.
