Uncontrolled acceleration while starting the car

Whats Good

Driving, display,

What Can Improve

Pick up, software, map,

Only significant disturbing factor I have noticed when I start the car after a long gap, say overnight the car is difficult to control for the first 5 minutes, it accelerates too fast without pressing the accelerator pedal. I asked about this in the service center, the engineer explained that this is normal as during the time it takes to reach a certain Temperature the car behaves like this. Though I find this explanation a little hard to digest, I am now driving in first gear only for the first 5 minutes as it becomes very frightening to shift the gear to 2 or 3rd. Is anybody else facing the same problem, this is the new i20 Asta O.

I use to change cars every 2 years. I nearly changed 7 cars in last 10 years. SANTRO xing - 2007 i10 - 2009 SUZUKI Swift - 2011 FLUIDIC Verna - 2011 SUZUKI Wagon r -2014 ELITE i20 - 2014 When i went to hyundai showroom for exchanging my elite with creta, no one respond to me when i went in, i go and asked for the details of creta the sales rep laughed at me and said you are coming here often (he thinks am not capable of buying a car), then he just gave me the quotation and not even told anything about the car's spec and not even told about the offers that hyundai provide for exchange, and he dont even offer me a testdrive. last time i went to service that time the mixed the normal servo oil with the shell synthetic oil that i bought(50-50 ratio), and the gear shift became harder after the service, when i asked them they said that they will recover the problem but till now no steps have taken(nearly 4 months passed) i complained about this to hyundai customer care, and i got a call from hyundai saying that steps will be taken in next 24 hours, after that no calls from hyundai. i nearly sent 10-15 mails to hyundai cus ser and to the service manager of the showroom but no response. before 3 months when i went to that showroom to book i20 active for my friend, the sales person told there is no testdrive car, then after 15 minutes he offer a testdrive for another customer in the testdrive car parked in front of the showroom. my hyundai car exchange rate has been valuated only 50% cost of the new car(from ex-showroom rate) but my maruti cars i have exchanged it for nearly 75% cost of the new car(on road rate) and the customer support from maruti cus care center is good when compared to hyundai.

Beautiful car and very comfortable driving & Poor Mileage
6 years ago | Vinay Gupta

Whats Good
Exterior & Ride Quality.
What Can Improve
improvement Providing HIDs, leather seats for the top variant.
Beautiful car and very comfortable driving in Bangalore city & highway too. I have purchased in Mar 2017 new Asta O petrol & itâ€™s very good car is too much better then swift and Baleno. its look is very attractive in this price there is no one car for compare with it accept Honda Jazz. I am enjoining too much my i20 elite and this car is so smooth in driving. Looks like sporting car, catchy look. As far as exterior goes itâ€™s a subject of one's view. Well for me the exterior is really amazing from the side profile and back the front profile is good but I preferred the front drl of the Baleno Interior (Features, Space) Interior hands down its Hyundai all the way. Very pleasant look at and quite good for its class. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Ya its true that the engine is not so an eager one to rev u up fast but it will do very good at the higher rev ranges. Only way to get the most out of this engine is to shift it down and the floor it, then it sure will put a smile on your face. Gear box no problems there its at par with its rivals. fuel economy (now i have seen many b**** about it but the truth is u know it gives less economy than its rival prior to your purchase right so donâ€™t just say that the economy is not good) I gets around 10.5 km in Bangalore city & highway 13.5 km till now 1290 km drive. It just delivers proportionate to what its rivals accomplish based on their ARAI figures. I might get some improvement in mileage after first service but need to say mileage is always concern of Hyundai car. Ride Quality & Handling are good in the city and even low speeds too but on the highway once u cross the triple digit speed there may be a bit of body roll. Final Words a very good product from Hyundai if not an amazing one. Areas of improvement Providing HIDs, leather seats for the top variant like Asta O 1.2 petrol model at least as an accessories and providing turbo petrol with sportier suspension and ride quality may make the package interesting.
