kb, I'm surprised at that. One of the things I like about mine is its willingness to cruise at motorway speeds quietly and with little effort, only slightly spoilt by the hard seat as mentioned above. It affects my butt more than my neck and shoulders, but then again being an HGV driver it might be that I'm more used to long hours "in the saddle" perhaps.
I suspect that had I gone up to the Comfort model, with height-adjustable seat, it might have been better.
In summary, I'd certainly buy another. Tried the Panda and Fiat 500 before we went for the i10, haven't regretted my choice. I did however have initial problems with the clutch, it's a little on the sharp side when new, but it's got better with use though I'm uncertain as to whether it's the clutch itself bedding in or me getting used to it.
