A mechanic urged those who want to buy a car with little money to turn their attention to the Hyundai I20, when they are undecided about the car they want. The price of this vehicle varies between 16,000 and 23,000 euros.
Many believe that Dacia Sandero is the best car a regular citizen can buy.

However, an expert-mechanic believes that the Hyundai I20 is a higher choice. He claims that it is a vehicle capable of combining modernity and complete features without losing the specific simplicity of analog elements.
The expert states that “it is a classic car, which reaches the service only for routine revisions.” Its opinion is based, according to defensacetral.com, on the experience that the more mechanically simpler, the lower the risks of the appearance of costly failures.
The specifications of the I20
The 1.2 -liter, naturally aspirated gasoline engine is one of the big qualities of this car. It develops 97 hp and has four cylinders. It also does not use complex belts or a three -cylinder system that could generate doubts and, implicitly, service problems.
An important aspect is the chain distribution, which extends the lifespan of the engine and reduces maintenance costs. Its weight is reduced, and consumption, according to the official site, is 5.3 liters per 100 km.
In the most recent reliability survey of OCU (Consumer and Users Organization) in 2025, the I20 (generation 2014-2020) is ranked among the three most reliable gasoline cars in his segment in Spain. The cost of revisions in service is around 200 euros.
The mechanic also emphasizes details such as manually conditioned air, classic hand brake and 15 -inch wheels. He believes that this type of elements reduces maintenance and tire costs.
Its maneuverability does not go unnoticed, because the six -speed manual gearbox makes it accessible and very easy to drive for any driver. Hyundai supports this model with a five -year warranty, without a kilometer limit.
