I am planning to buy the new i10 Kappa engine car

does any one have this car
How is the performance and the mileage?

any review will be appreciated

i10 Kappa is good because it is a 1.2L DOHC (Dual Overhead Cam) engine - 4 cyl, 16 valve with fuel injection. It should be much more efficient than the non-Kappa i10 (1.1L - SOHC).

Wat about the mileage?

just4kix

I have no idea other than published figures. But I guess that you should get 12 km/l in congested city (but a guess only).

Dont know much about the i10, but all i can say it seems like a good car, easy to drive, its easy and good to drive in heavy traffic and the roads in India.

i10 kappa mileage is only 10 with a/c in city condition...
if ur looking for mileage dont go for it..

Go for A-Star its much cute and better...than i10
A-star has much more better features than i10 at the same price.
A-star has much much better fuel economy than i10.Thats the best thing for Indian Customer

CATCH THE STAR THAN THE EYE(I) THAT JUST SEES.

You may also consider tata indica vista. its well spacious and economy too.
but when you consider about the performance i10 lead the role.

if you travel much more in city then go for i10, else if it is a mix of often highway and city,then you should consider for vista.

But as far as safety features,i10 leads the role.the thing lacks in the i10 is the boot space,back seat comfortable and leg room, where vista plays much better.

As engine the i10 is more refined than vista.another thing i like to say is the vista is much better than old indica.

Cargrapher

indica vista still lacks the virtue from inside. i have seen the vehicle and taken ride.feature wise its ok but interior looks plastically. there are abnormal gaps in ip and doors..and stereo is worst ever in look..how can one think of that.Cabin lamp too hard to operate.its looks that it will break in pressing the buttons.Engine room has lot of rusted parts..i dont know why it can happen from Tata steel house. Fuel lid opener just comes out like anything.

i10 is better as compared to Indica.it does not look cheap.WagonR is much better..its has smart and confident which is missed in i10.i10 has boring looks.
Also in Wagon R u have Duel fuel options and its A/T variant is also a good option

prasannaganesh

yes cargraper, i openly accept your point. vista is not up to the mark, the point i like to convey is that, vista is spacious.

hey buddy i have another recommendation also.

you may also consider chevrolet aveo U-VA.
this car drops nearly in the price range of i10 kappa. More Spacious and best for family. because its maintenance is nearly zero for first three years and cheap further, when compared to i10.
i thing the basic version price is 3.8 lac. so plz take a look on this.

when you consider about performance and interior, it looks more refined and descent.I hope you will love this.
