i10 Magna

Had a test drive this morning on this little powerhouse.




This one is already been said as a replacement to Santro and i think Hyundai might close down shutters on Santro eventually. i10 is really interesting: a little lower on RPMs and higher on torque in comparison to Santro xing and almost at par with Getz 1.1 GLE. Wheelbase and height is more than Getz and body is much lighter also. the catch in the end is lower RPMs and higher torque, and it actually showed up when i tested it. I also tried a tight U turn with it and it actually made it clean without any stop-back-stop manouver. Electronic Power steering makes it even more effortless. The mascular and sporty looks are creating quite a craze.

Overall....quite a Car and is priced interestingly too.




Only problem with this beauty is its Website. A bit too flashy i guess.



ENGINE - iRDE 1.1

Configuration
Displacement (cc) - 1086
Maximum Power (ps/rpm) - 66.7/5500

Since the day I saw it on IBN7, I always knew you wud love this one...
especially the roof thing (priced around 4.9 ex-showroom) was exciting for (non-drivers like) me :P.
I had heard that there is ample legspace for the drivers (like you)...and it is as spacious as a sedan...(made me fall for it!)

Hmmm....as far as website is concerned... I second your opinion.
