Buying Tips for the Hyundai i10 (Gen 2)

  • Pay close attention to the clutch biting point; judder or a very high bite suggests city-life wear.
  • Test the 1st and Reverse gear engagement while cold, as these can be stiff or difficult.
  • Check for a full service history to ensure the 5-year warranty was maintained (critical for late models).
  • Check that the air conditioning actually blows cold, as condensers are prone to stone damage.
