Hi,

Just wondered, has anyone had any faults with their i10 yet, and how did you resolve them?

Cheers!

While on holiday my fuel gauge stayed on full even after 100 miles. Couple of fill ups the problem went.

Apart from that I am still really pleased.

No problems to report here, but then I've only had my Comfort model for two weeks.

It's a cracking little motor, and "Tardis-like" with the space inside. Yesterday I transported the entire contents from the back of a Corsa, plus a passenger in the back. Amazing machine!

I keep finding little unexpected things about it:

When we picked it up, it had just had the battery swapped, as someone had left the interior light on overnight. The clock was showing 1:39am. Within ten minutes, it was showing the correct time. How did it do that?

The radio tracks the station you are listening to, and retunes itself to the strongest signal for that station. I wasn't expecting that level of sophistication.

The handbook makes no mention of an alarm, but there is one, as I found out when I opened the boot using the key instead of the central locking remote.

The two trip meters on the dash are handy - I use one to track mileage between fill ups, and the other for when I'm doing a business trip and claiming the miles back.

Also, I think they listened to some of the criticism from the early road tests, as I'm sure mine has got a softer-feeling steering wheel than the one I test drove back in April. That one was a Classic, so it may be that the Comfort has a better wheel anyway. Does anyone know?

The interior light works off all four doors - a lot of more expensive cars don't do that, and there's a boot-open warning light.

So far, mine's averaging about 47mpg with a mixture of low and high speed driving - that's not bad considering the engine's still tight, having only done about 700 miles to date.


I'm a happy Hyundai owner! :)

well I never just tried opening my boot with the key and an alarm went off. People just keep finding hidden extras on this great little car.

Hi TJ63 saw your post on the honest john site I also put my views across as well. People are so blinkered.

I cannot wait to see what other things come to light.

I know that Mazysteve is runboy over there. Are you busman, Mick?


I tend to stick to the same ID everywhere - it saves confusion (mine!).



TJ

Same this end TJ63 I stick to the same name.

Oh yes, I see now. You replied on the "Dealer wants to cancel" thread. Busman (whoever he is) was on another one.

Some interesting reading on Honest John at times, but some strong opinions and sweeping generalisations as well! :thumbsup:

Yep, I'm runboy over there as over here the i10 will be mainly used by my wife. I was a bit miffed by some of the comments on the thread on Honest John.

We'll, I've just tested my i10 Comfort (had since April) and it definitely doesn't have this feature!

Anyway, why exactly would you want an alarm to go off just because you've opened the boot with the key instead of the central locking remote? I assume there's a benefit of this feature that I'm missing?

I don't particularly want the alarm to go off when I open the boot - this was just how I found out that it had got an alarm. I didn't think it had one. Immobilser yes, but not an alarm.

I wonder if it was just fitted to later editions? Seems a bit strange.

Anybody had gearbox problems yet?.

Not me. But only done 1000 miles so far.

Looking on the abundance of web forums (esp India), it doesn't seem that gearbox problems are that common. What makes you ask?
