I'm from India and I have used this car from 2013 - 2020. i20 has always remained one of the most popular hatchbacks here and it's even popular now with the 4th generation. I sold my 2013 i20 1.2 Manual last year during December for the latest generation i20. I was looking for a hatchback since that fits my lifestyle really well and the i20 was simply a no brainer.
I purchased one of these brand new and it is a reliable little car and it’s still going strong. Too bad the paint job was absolutely dreadful. Within 2 years the paint was fading on the roof, the mirrors and the door handles. 7 years on the paint is ruined on the front end too. I’ve seen this same problem on many other i20’s in Australia.
