i10

A slab-sided pensioners special.

The ride is harsh and jerky with a lot of road noise transmitted. There is more understeer towards the right than on left hand bends and the tracking is set up properly.
Dark grey and black, mostly cheap, hard plastics present a dismal interior.
Petrol economy is good as is £20 a year road tax but it hasn't been particularly reliable even for a 12 year old car. I just wish that i could buy an updated version of my previous Daihatsu Charade which really was great fun to drive, with better gear ratios. Even with 85 BHP the i10 feels gutless with the need to seriously row the gearbox.
No, i wouldn't buy another of this year but am prepared to believe the new models are much better.
