Thanks to your excellent advise, we bought a top of the range i10 automatic in 2009. It is still a pleasure to drive under most circumstances but we missed the climate control and cruise control of previous, larger, cars. When we saw the current model with an, allegedly, even better torque converter and engine and all the bells and whistles that we remembered, we started negotiating to buy one. There was one snag, our little car is easy to drive in our restricted cellar parking garage but the latest version is 10cm longer and 5cm wider.
We asked the salesman to demonstrate the car, in our garage. He did all we asked but was white as a sheet and left cursing the architect of the building. We left for a 3000KM touring holiday in our old model. Why do the marketing boys always dictate dimensional growth? What replacement can we hope to find new?
