As I was going to buy my first vehicle and not even knowing driving, with lot of feedback collected from various sources, I opted for i10 Asta, top end model, Oyster Grey color and bought it in Feb 2009.I learned driving on that car. In the last 13 months I drove 22, 000 kilometers and 70% of it I covered on highways. Its excellent vehicle and no complaints. I drove nonstop 6 hours many times and not even once I felt that I am strained. Based on roads I drive between 100-120 kms/hr speed and unless you see Speedo meter, you wont even feel that vehicle is moving so fast.
Amazing music system and maintenance cost is to the minimum.ABS is at its best. As far as space is concerned, five people can accommodate comfortably and even you can make another one sit on lap of passenger in front seat (I am not talking about girl friend but about a child.)
Cons - Headrest is horrible and you cant adjust it..I always carry pain balm so that I can apply to my neck if require. (I am not joking and I carry it really).Though boot space is small, you need to sacrifice it as it to accommodate more people. Also, as ours is a small family, we fold back seats if we are travelling with more luggage.
