i20 is a good buy overall. Its positioned as a premium hatch but they've sacrificed on the engine a bit by giving us the same 1.2 kappa. But keeping the average joe Indian consumer in mind, who isnt going to rev the engine much and will be used mostly for city driving with a bit of highway, the i20 should do just fine. He would be bowled over by the i20 due to its good looks, and truck load of bells and whistles and safety features that even cars in segments much above the i20 would be ashamed of.

 

I'm not criticising the engine, it might just be a good one. The old honda city had a 77bhp engine, and it was a roaring success. This one has 80

We have a lineup of good hatchbacks coming up in the near future. The Fiat GP, the Honda Jazz, Maruti Splash. Swift might just get some serious competition then, but I dont think its position at the top is going to be in danger for a long time.

 

I just hope the i20 doesn't get "Fabia'd" :D. Me wants diesel engine :P
