This is the 2010 Hyundai i20 1.2 Classic—a car so sensible it could probably do your taxes for you. It’s small enough to park in a space the size of a shoebox, cheap to run, and reliable enough that you could probably drive it to the moon and back before it complained. Under the bonnet is a plucky 1.2-litre petrol engine with 77 bhp. It’s not fast—0–60 takes a leisurely 12.9 seconds—but it will return a wallet-friendly 55 mpg combined and will happily run on little more than a whiff of unleaded. Insurance? Group 5. In other words, about as cheap as it gets without buying a bicycle. And here’s the kicker—it’s driven by a timing chain, not a belt, so there’s no big scary cambelt change lurking in your future. ULEZ? Yes—it’s Euro 5 petrol, so it’ll breeze past London’s cameras without the Mayor dipping into your pocket. Being the Classic model, it’s got the basics nailed: air conditioning, electric windows, remote locking, and a radio/CD player for those of us who remember what CDs are. It’s light to steer, easy to drive, and forgiving enough that even the most nervous learner will feel at home within five minutes. If you’re a first-time driver—or buying for one—this is pretty much perfect. Cheap insurance, cheap fuel, cheap tax, and no nasty surprises. You can ding it, scrape it, and still sleep at night. And because it’s a Hyundai with a timing chain, it’ll just keep going, year after year, without that dreaded “cambelt service” bill.
