Yes, they do. A huge improvement over the first-generation i10, which it has to be said could bounce around like an old cart! Our new one cannot compete for ride comfort with my old Citroen C5 on its Hydractive suspension but is still impressive for a little 'un. I can't offer many comparisons as I don't drive too many different types of car; all I can say is that empirically it's very good (I also find the seats very supportive for my size and shape -- 5 ft 8 in, just under 11 stones) and we make trips of 200+ miles without any problems.

I appreciate your point about being senstive to noise but I'd certainly suggest having a look at a second-generation i10 (or the new i20 if you want something a bit bigger).

To my mind the Continental tyres that came with the i10 are quite noisy - probably the main source of interior noise since the engine and wind effects are very civilized, especially for a small car - and I'll replace them with Michelin Energy or Cross Climate when the time comes, to get further noise reduction.

Nice way to spam us Freda all by adding in a link to someone else's previous post. Do you think we're that stupid and naive to fall for that?
