I bought my first 4-wheeler Hyundai i20 - in June 2009. It is 6 Months Old now and I am enjoying the ride.
I did a lot of survey on all the Hatch_batch Cars in the Market and finally selected Hyundai i20. Resons are Good Spacious Leg Room. A plenty of Space even in the Boot. Seats are very comfortable and pleasent during the ride.
I used to Drive from Home to Office really about 50 Kms every Day on the Mumbai Traffic and Roads. It travels through all the Pot-Holes easily bcoz of good Shock absorbers.
We get the Luxury of the Big Car, like Adjustable Seats, Steering wheels, Audio Control, Automatic Climate Control etc. in a Small Car.
Though I felt it is slighlty expensive as compared to Ford Fiesta, SX4 which are available at 5 - 10% higher.
