I like this facelift mk1 i10. I think it’s overall the best looking i10. The next gen was a bit awkwardly proportioned and the current model is too fussy in its design. This is perfect
Great car to drive and own. It was our second car as a family living out in the sticks and commuted 10 miles to the city where my partner worked. Bulletproof Toyota quality reliability and an easy car to drive. At the time I was in an MR2 then laterally a BMW 320i. I still enjoyed driving the I10. There was an immediacy from the 1.2 engine and the weight of the car being so small it always felt quite go-kart like. Quality car for next to no money. Highly recommended.
Great review. I always wondered how do older versions of the same model compare with newer ones, in terms of fuel efficiency. For example 2009 vs 2017 or 2019. Because if the difference is negligible, than it's better (more economic) to buy an older version (if it's in good condition)?
I think ours was quite an early one maybe 2010ish. It belonged to my grandparents first and they did maybe 18,000 miles in three years then we were given it with two years of warranty left. We never needed it. Amazing little car.
I just got one fast little car but bloody awful fuel economy 30 mpg in town is all im getting , so the 65mpg figure is total BS i say , may sell it in a few weeks only had it 2 weeks lol too hard to drive in the city for me as the steering is very heavy due to the little tyres.
It's never going to be fast enough to need one. I was driving an MR2 at the same time as we owned one and it didn't even have any sort of wheelspin control. The ABS was archaic and you could hear it hammering on and off. In old cars: Drive better. Luv and Peace.
It has more airbags than most cars??? Literally one of the best features about it and I own one! You can only get certain seat covers because of the airbags!
