Buy or bye Hyundai i10?

I am considering purchasing a Hyundai i10, but the new demonstator had the audible clutch judder that is mentioned repeatedly in mesmerising large numbers on the internet. - A problem that appears to be continuing on new models.

Further research has indicated that ther was allegedly a clutch/gear modification in approx. May 2011 (after the March facelift) that hopefully might resolve these longstanding clutch issues.

Of further concern is the extraordinary large number of pre-registered i10's available for sale with very favourable finance offers. Is there a pre- May clear out of problem cars? I would value your help and guidance.

Hyundai has been shifting a lot of cars.

Some i10s have the clutch problem. Most don't.
