    Hi, my Wife and I bought the I20 Comfort 3 door under the government scrappage scheme Oct 23 2009. Felt this car was perfect for my wife to drive. Feb 25 2010, 2000 miles on clock, I was washing the car and noticed RUST yes RUST on the back door under the window, I then discovered more RUST under the side rear window and also under the drivers side window. Either quality control has failed here or simply have been sold a bad car. So have a good look at the paint work and check for any defects

    I have owned the I20 1.2 petrol model for 6 weeks and am regreting the purchase. the car has all the bells and whistles but is very bad on the road it is like driving without any springs every blemish and there are many in our roads hammers through the car and seats making even the shortest journey most unpleasant. I shall get rid of it at the first oportunity be warned

    My car

    Car purchased march 09, as with the lady with the 1.2 comfort with vibrating brakes, I also have this same problsm. I do 60 miles per day minimum. have returned to dealership twice, had new pads and discs first time and returned 4 months later and had discs skimmed. Problem returning and will worsen so will be having to return to dealership for third time in 11 months. This is a shame because the inconvenience of being without my car spoils my enjoyment of what is otherwise a very nice car.

    My car

    Hi I Purchased an i20 in June 2009. I drive a high milage of 100 miles per day on motorways and dual carrageways. After 5000 miles I realised there was vibration when breaking. I though I was imagining it until my partner drove it at approximatly 6000 miles and said there was a deffinite vibration when breaking felt through the peddle and steering wheel. The garage I bought it from was very understanding and changed the brake discs as they had warped (ie were no longer flat but wavy). By 9000 miles the vibration was back and I had another set of disks put on as a good will gesture. Apparently Hyundai have to realise there is a problem before they admit to it. There are theories to why this is happening but no deffinitive answer yet. i will have to wait to see if I am back at the garage in another 3000 miles! Just though i would let others know incase they feel they are alone with this problem. But beside this I have had no problems and find all the little accessories such as USB port and steering wheel control very nice. The "stiff" suspension also means it handles well around corners.
