My wiife has a 2 month old i20 manual and we both love it for it's purpose--a cheap run around. We got the 3dr as this gives you a bit more entry room for us bigger Ozzy guys and on that note I fit in it's quite well as it has reach adjustment on the steering.(I am 185cm tall) This was one of the reasons we went with the i20 over others in this bracket without reach adjustment. The 6 speed manual is another reason over a 5 speed and the 5 year unlimited k warrenty. I don't like the 4 speed autos in these small cars under 1.8L as it makes em quiet guttless. The manual goes up the Toowoomba range in 4th gear OK. Fuel economy so far is running at 5.8l/100klm overall and about 4.8l/100klm on the highway. On a negitive note check the door alignments our passenger door was wonkey but fixed at first service.
These cars are made in either India or Mexico so I was told. We paid $13900 (QLD) with a $750 voucher to Myers. Hope this helps
