For The Hyundai i20 is cheap to buy, costs peanuts to run and comes stacked with luxury kit. Safety is top-drawer, and the car rides well, too.
Against It's not as much fun to drive as some other cars in the class, and the dull cabin won't set your heart racing.
What Car? says
The i20 is a cracking budget buy, because you get a lot of car for not a lot of money.

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, but we'd recommend stepping up to Comfort spec – you'll get masses of kit, including alloys, electric rear windows, steering wheel-mounted controls and a cable to hook up your MP3 player.
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.
