Hyundai i20

FOR: Good kit, solid build, five-year warranty AGAINST: Firm ride, dull image and looks

HYUNDAI’S i20 probably isn’t the first car that springs to mind when you think of a high-end supermini, but this is a decent used buy. It looks smart, feels up-todate and drives fairly well, while the new 1.0-litre turbo engine injects some performance into the mix.

Top-of-the-range models come loaded with toys, too, although the i20 lacks the ride and handling balance of the Polo. A 2016 1.0 T-GDI Premium Nav with 8,000 miles can be yours for £11,995.

IN this year’s Driver Power survey, the Hyundai came an impressive 29th. Reliability was one of the highlights for owners in the poll, something that’s helped by the standard five-year warranty offered across the range.

IT may not be as lavishly trimmed as the Polo or as interestingly designed as the DS 3, but the i20’s interior is a good compromise. There’s lots of space, although you’ll need a Premium Nav model for the central touchscreen.
