Kappa is better in terms of power. Mileage is almost same, maintenance of i10 is quite reasonable.
LPG depends on your need and availability of LPG in your area.
EPS breakdown is no more there in the newer models. It was there in few initial batch.

After 2 and half years of use i10 Magna iRDE EPS failed and costed me around 22,000 INR for replacement and from recent blogs it seems EPS is a major defect which Hyundai should take care of. It gave a great shock to me, if after replacement there is no guarantee that new EPS wil not give any issue going further. That would rise maintenance cost of my car.

I am owner of hundai i10 magna 1.2 kappa engine. I was purchase it on 17th june 2010. The car is very good in performence but I felt one problem in my i10 car that it’s engine makes unneccessory noise like as desele engine especially when I drive it in reverse gear. Todays technology used in i10 magna is the best it is ranked by Bs-iv improved. I was complaint it at euaity hundai motors at service time but they are not solved my problem.

Hello Gopi

This is Achal. I faced the same problem 10 days ago, the battery suddenly broke down, then we replaced it and came home smoothly. But the next day, the car didnt start, the engine didnt even react. Then we called in the Showroom guys who took it and said this is a technical fault and corrected it and brought the car back. But i didnt get time to check what the problem exactly was. They didnt take much time to do it and the problem was solved in Rs 250 only. This was the first time i got a problem in the car since Feb 2009 when i bought it.

Why not Chevvy Beat over i10? I don’t see any reason for not going for Beat over i10. I feel it is good value for money…ain’t it?

I bought IRDE in March’2010. completed more than 5000 kms now. Everything is ok, and absolutely fine, but when u hve 3 or more people behind, the car feels sluggish in 2nd gear, even in spead of 5-10 kms u feel the need of putting it up in 1st gear…. slightly underpowered…. and also the brakes are not that immediate when running with AC on.

It’s spacious, tough, easy and fresh feel to drive. gear shift placement is excellent, far more better than santro or else… I went to agra 2 times and gave 16 kmpl with AC on.. in Delhi it may be around 11-12 only with AC on…

But phir bhi I feel my choice was not bad, and am satisfied with it. It’s like a beautiful curly haired lady accompanying you. so lovely.

iam having I 10 iRDE, iam using this for nearly 9 months and covered more than 18000 km. I feel this car is a good one especially for longtrips. Iam not feeling much difference between kappa and iRDE. My friend have a kappa 1.2. So for me both Irde and Kappa almost similar in features. About i10, its suspension and braking system is excellent especially in Indian roads . Anyway i 10 is really a good car as per my experience compared to others in this segment because it has really a royal looking interiors. Its external look is also very attractive compared to swift and beat.
