I like the Green! But I still think a Yaris looks and performs better and has better storage.

Looks like a mini I30.Keen to have a look. But won't buy another car for a few years.The Yaris is terrific.

How is your Yari mate?

If nothing else, it was SO nice to hear the "Y" in Hyundai. For some reason, the Americans cannot remember it, or don't care to because it is easier the say "Hundai" than "HYundai"

I don't believe the way she says it is correct. Perhaps every country pronounces it differently but the correct way is to say it like "Sunday" with an "H". Remember last year's 1 minute Superbowl commercial that made a special point to tell people how Hyundai is pronounced? The commercial ends saying... "it's Hyundai, like Sunday". That's because so many continue to say "Honday" or "Hundeye" which is highly aggravating.

Great looking car with nicely appointed trim levels.

The i20 did a trip starting from Sydney to Bundaberg a distance of about 1269km, on one tank of fuel.UNBELIEVABLE.That's like 10 hr plus travel.I did the same trip on the Yaris and honestly had to re-fuel 2-3 times on the way.How far can the YARI go on one tank?

Point is, though, every other country in the world pronounces it like "Sunday" but with a "Hi" at the front. ...

Genius by Hyundai of Korea! What better way to market and brand a name if you have a commercial saying the "so called" proper pronunciation...

Actually, Hyundai has changed their name pronunciation to "Hunday" because it's easier to say and recognize (mass marketed). Now you can put the simple association together and then more likely buy their product. The proper way to say it in Korean is "hee-yun-day". The lady was using the correct pronunciation with the "Y". No matter what companies will tell you anything for the purpose of increasing profit even if it's not the truth.

Cheers!

Those of you that get the i20 outside of the US, do you not get the Accent that we get in the states? Kinda odd that Hyundai is building two totally different cars filling the same part of the market.

The getz and accent will be replaced.
