    Investigate carefully the car before you purchase or else you will end up cursing yourself. Better to buy a Japanese car by adding a few thousands and you will have peace of mind.


    Don't generalize by having a donut spare make a car cheap.. Paano na yung BMW, some variants doesn't have any spare tire at all.. .. Seriously, my previous ride was a japanese brand, it also had a donut spare.. I think this is the trend now in other countries..

    as i have expected, mini cars like this one would really blow tires up. kaso tanong ko lang, sinadya ba ng hyundai na maninipis mga gulong nila kaya madali silang masira? i've read somewhere here kasi about the carens naman na pumutok yung gulong dahil din sa manipis yung ewan ko sa loob niya. im just wondering. wops teka di ako nagbasa, dami pala nagrereklamo sa post ni johntad

    manipis yung sidewall ng mga tires ngayon.. yung sa carens naman eh bumangketa yata yung kaya sumabog.. any tire that will be severed on the sidewall will surely explode if not damaged badly and irrepairable..

    kaya siguro manipis ang sidewall is for comfort nung tire also to lessen road noise...

    yung carens naka donut spare tire din... as for the term spare tire eh pamalit lang incase masira yung orig but not for permanent use.. anyway mas ok na yung may spare tire kesa wala.. also donut tires are lighter, smaller and easy to install

    hindi ba ginagawang permanent tire yung extra ones? i see. hmm..
    dun sa post nga pala ni johntad, baka naman sir natest drive niyo muna yung unit bago niyo kinuha. kasi kung oo, sa simulang simula pa lang po kasi makikita niyo nang plasticky yung interior niya at di kasing ganda as its exterior. and i think yung service naman nila is mahaba na, i think 5 years na rin sila just like chery. if it's true then that's matagal na rin po

    we'll be getting an i10 tomorrow, and i just read the thread today..hehehe..i'll be honest i had doubts..dahil sa nabasa ko...

    pero will still buy the i10 bukas..hehehe, anyway...i read something about tires blowing up...i think it has something to d with the tires itself..since sa korea malamig...yun standard tires nila..pang weather nila..so kung gagamitin satin which is hot as hell...talagang allambot yun and eventually pop..kaya yun ibang dealers replace the tires with local ones..para made for our climate

    sa fuel consumption naman...may friend ako na agent ng hyundai..and so far nasa 14-16km/l lowest ang sabi nya...i din't think joke yun...hehehe sa fuel consumption naman kasi depende sa driving habit yun e..if you hift too early kulang power..the result press harder ka sa higher gear..kapos makina..hence sayang na gas...kung sobra ka naman sa diin..hehehe...nagsusunog ka din ng gas...i think advisable is shifting around 2.5-3k rpm

    pag nakuha ko na ...and nadrive na...i'll post a review...

    i10's FC is around 14 to 16 kms per liter sa Manual Transmission, pero sa automatic tranny bagsak sa 8kms per liter so sayang talaga

    Donut spare tires arent really an issue. Our TOYOTA Echo verso use to have one and gamit na gamit ko din. Are you surprise that you have a donut spare tyre?

    Downside ng donut tyre is
    Not for front use
    80kph lang

    good side
    Magaang
    Space saving

    a friend is considering the i10.. don sa kakabili lang.. magkano discount nakuha nyo?? at anong freebies ang binigay?? anong dealer??

    we looked at Hyundai Fort.. 10T discount lang plus free LTO.. then pag nag inhouse daw.. they can throw in 3M tint and backup sensor.. pag cash.. wala.. standard tint, seat cover and floor mats lang.. insurance is at 16T, 0% participation for over 10T claims.

    Try other dealers mate. Try Hyundai E. Rod or Hyundai Quezon Ave. (kung taga south ka alam ko malayo but it might be worthwhile). I think for i10 P10K discount seems fair kasi sa low naman yung price nya eh so they can't give you a big discount. But I think you could make them pay for the insurance at least for the 1st year. When we bought our Santa Fe sa Hyundai Quezon Ave I was able to negotiate for that free insurance but normally they don't give it away. More pressure might be needed!

    Getz 1.1L engine, I thought I would be saving more on gasoline. I bought one thinking the smaller the engine the less it will consume fuel. I noticed this by comparing with my 1.3L Toyota Vios. Weekly we are travelling to our relative who is 80 km away where we sometimes use our 1.1L Getz, I realized that Getz is consuming more gasoline than our 1.3L Vios. Toyota is really fuel efficient, the same for Honda.

    I suggest, before deciding to buy a car, to visit internet sites that reviews and compare cars. Hyundai is not fuel efficient and its dashboard is made of cheap material that for a few years becomes brittle and cracks. Its tires also is not durable and the spare tire, beware, for Getz, the size is smaller in diameter.
