HYUNDAI i20

In the near 17,000km the i20 Turbo DCT has been part of the OD Garage, it's also been part of our road tests, comparison tests and countless other shoots, and driving styles.

Its been across the country too, on vacation, feature drives, and closer to home, on an Ikea run, ferrying a 6.5fttall bookcase inside! It's been pretty flawless through it all, and the car's completed three services with little to no complaints.

Which is a good place to start, I suppose. Sometime before the third service, a rattle coming from the rear was traced to the boot lid latch, which was simply tightened/greased to fix it. We've sometimes had issues with the TPMS reporting an error, even with correct pressures. But usually over-filling the tyres and letting them settle fixes this. The air purifier, which annoyingly takes up one cup holder, can't be fully removed either. Someone has tried though, and it's since stopped working. Also, the air flow from the climate control can prove to be a bit strong for cold days, even at its lowest fan speed setting.
