Hyundai i10 S Blue Drive 5 door for £6995.
Comes with 5 year warranty.
I got the i30 deal from Rockar about 6 months ago and have been very pleased with the car.

I use mine to demist the windscreen almost daily. Very helpful in this climate.

I have used air con in my car maybe 3 times in 10 years. Hardly essential in our crappy climate.

Cost of aircon?
Potentially ££££'s
The feeling of pulling up next to someone wearing a vest, sweating away in an old 106 in 30 degree heat, turning to them (in your thick jumper) and going "BRRRRRRR!!!"
PRICELESS!

Erm the only difference is automatic climate control keeps the cabin at a constant temp.
"Aicon is useless" total nonsense :confused:

Thought this was a lease? Says 8k miles per year on the right?

Not a lease, the car is 6,995 cash if you select the different payment type.
What you are referring to is the option to take the car on Contract Purchase where there is an optional balloon payment at the end of the finance term.

Too much for a car with no aircon. I am sure you can negotiate a better deal out there on many small cars.

Because air conditioning is useless, what you want is automatic climate control, not only it cools the air, it also removes the moisture from the cabin.

Got to agree I leave the full climate control on all year. Keeps the moisture down inside the cab.

I have an i10 - never again... you have to drive with the air con all the time in winter cos it constantly has moisture on the window, its only done 18000 miles and is on its third set of tyres (my previous car, a Corsa, did 45000 miles on two sets so its not my driving!) and it is making lots of rattles, the gear change is iffy etc. even though its only 4 yrs old. The dealer servicing is extortionate, and whilst the law may say you don't need to use dealer servicing to keep the warranty the dealer is constantly scaremongering. So, its a good price for a new car, but you get what you pay for. Buyer beware.

Hmmm, so I have a Oct 2014 i10. I'm a few miles shy of 20,000 and my second service. I'm still on the original set of tyres and they look like they have another good 20,000 miles in them yet.
Paid £599 for 5 years servicing up front, so I've no bills for another 3.5 years. The car is rock solid, no rattles, etc.
Only minor complaint is I only seem to manage approx 48mpg with a combined cycle.
Other than that, the new model i10 is a fantastic little car (but doesn't feel little to drive).

Have you owned the car from new? If not do you know the cars history?
A newish car like yours should not have problems like those you described.
Windscreens which have so much moisture like you describe is fairly common in winter but should clear and stay clear for the remainder of your journey, if the moisture fails to clear then you may have a mechanical problem, these include poorly fitted windscreen, leaking heater matrix, leaking hoses behind the dash, blocked drain points etc, if your car has previously been involved in an accident and has been poorly repaired then such symptoms can arise. also cleaning the windscreen is effective in keeping the windscreen clear.
How are your tyres wearing? Is it even across the entire tread pattern or do edges wear out first?
Economy tyres wear out faster than quality tyres, style of driving and road conditions also determine the life of a tyre. If the tyres wear out on the edges first then either the tracking is out or the car has been poorly repaired. Items such as ball joints, wheel bearings or brakes can also cause uneven tyre wear.
Main dealer servicing is very expensive but that's true which ever car manufacturer you use,
You can use other garages, just make sure you use oem or equivalent approved parts, keep all receipts ( use vat registered garages ), you can buy parts from hyundai and get someone else to fit them. In my experience, hyundai garages do not even check service records when they carry out warranty work, they check on their computer when the car was registered and as long as it's within the 5 years they carry out the repair.
Not sure if hyundai still offer it but they offer new cars with a servicing package which is very reasonable and is comparable to high street garages, so worth considering if you are buying a new car.
