Since appearing at the Paris Motor Show in 2008, the Hyundai i20 has been a common sight on British roads. The car is considered a credible and affordable rival to models like the Vauxhall Corsa, Mazda 2 and the Volkswagen Polo, thanks to low running costs and lots of equipment.

With a Hyundai car you know you’re always going to get excellent value for money. The i20 is no different and is a great option if you want a hatchback that’s cheap to run, packed full of kit and a pleasure to drive on a daily basis.
The i20 was introduced in 2008 and comes in 3 and 5 door hatchback models, which means it’s quite versatile and appeals to a diverse range of motorists. While it’s understated compared to other brands in its niche, the i20 is certainly not ugly and is one of the better Hyundais on sale. The interior is a world apart and is actually very stylish, with a nice solid looking trim, a lot of space and a significant amount of gear.
With the rear seats folded down there’s a comparatively large space in the boot, which is good when transporting larger objects, but even in regular mode it’s not the smallest around. Out on the road the i20 rides well and has an adequate amount of grip in the corners, but is great for everyday driving and pottering around. A whole heap of different engine options are available, and while they aren’t powerful by any stretch of the imagination, they do offer excellent economy, which keeps with the ‘value’ mentality of the car.
Shopping for a second hand Hyundai i20 at Motors.co.uk is the best way to get more bang for your buck on an car that’s already excellent value. There are no prizes for paying full price, so why not opt for a pre owned one and spend considerably less. With big discounts on thousands of used cars for sale, you’ll come up trumps when looking for a bargain every time.
The Hyundai i20 then is a good all rounder that caters to a wide audience. Ideal for families, people on a budget or city dwellers, it’s small and unremarkable to look at but delivers a driving experience akin to a premium quality auto. With a lot of space inside, low running costs and a lot of equipment, it more than holds its own and is a very attractive option to consider.
