For The 1.4 gives noticeably gutsier performance than the 1.2-litre petrol unit , and Comfort trim provides some desirable extra kit over Classic.

Against Choosing this combination of engine and trim pushes the i20's price up a tad too much to make sense. Stick with the 1.2 Classic model.

What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

This version provides a generous level of equipment, but we think the 1.4 engine is an unnecessary expense. The 1.2 is cheaper to buy and run and does as good a job.
