For The 1.4 gives noticeably gutsier performance than the 1.2 unit, while top Style trim brings leather trim on the steering wheel and seats, front fog lights and climate control.

Against The i20 is a budget buy, and going for the biggest petrol engine with the highest trim only makes it more expensive.

If you're after a budget car, you'll want to avoid unnecessary expense - which is why you should avoid this model in favour of one of its cheaper brothers.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Of the various engines available in the i20, you're best off with the entry-level 77bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine. It feels very peppy for a small engine, and there's good flexibility, too. If you're after a gutsier petrol engine, you can also choose a 98bhp 1.4.

Entry-level Classic cars come with air-conditioning, remote central locking and electric front windows, and that’s enough for it to be our favourite Comfort spec adds alloys, electric rear windows, steering wheel-mounted controls, Bluetooth and a cable to hook up your MP3 player, while Style models get luxuries such as half-leather seats, a leather steering wheel, front foglights and climate control.

For all that, though, one of the biggest attractions must be that the i20, like all Hyundais, comes with a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty.
