Hyundai's i20 Fan Club

Vikram Gour 13 Jan 2010

Buying a Car ? Get Best Deal

The Hyundai i20 has made major inroads in the Indian car market and its inherent good looks coupled with great drivability and comfort has lead to the i20 developing somewhat of a star status.

In a bid to capitalize on this feature, Hyundai has launched the i20 Fan Club which will bring together like minded people on a single platform in order for them to share their individual experiences with the car.

The i20 Fan Club, better known as the 'Uber Trooper' Fan Club can be accessed online at www.ubertroopers.com. Apart from i20 fan followers, the website will also be a great resource to get a first hand owners view about the premium hatch. No doubt, Hyundai expects this initiative to proactively create an aura around the i20 as there is no tool more powerful than an owner's viewpoint.

Speaking about the fan club, Arvind Saxena, Director, Marketing & Sales, HMIL, said, "At Hyundai our goal is to be even more customer-focused, especially in today's challenging environment, where it is important for us to demonstrate how well we understand our customers. With this thought in mind, we proactively launched the i20 Fan club which will help us reach out to the target audience in the digital space. The online interactions of the Fan Club will lead to better bonding between the customers and the company and exchange of ideas and suggestions which should help us engage the customers in a more interesting and meaningful way".

Membership to the i20 fan club will initially be offered to all i20 customers and the initial benefits of being part of this club will include activities such as IPL parties, Drive-in Movies, free car washes and organized road trips. Hyundai promises that there will be something interesting happening throughout the year which also includes contests, discount offers and a chance to get some neat accessories as well.

    i20 petrol has the kappa engine at a higher state of tune and is under powered for a car of its size. It is not definitely value for money. | Reply

if u think it i20 with kappa is under powered, buy the other variant with 1.4cc engine. Do u complaint that as over powered? | Reply

    I have been owning an i20 CRDi for the last 5 months. I am facing several problems with the car since day one.a) The steering has become extremely stiff b) Noise inside the cabin from the rear video mirrorc) Rattling noises from the rear of the car. I am unable to predict how the steering reacts at a point of time. I have been to the service center several times and they have not been able to fix the problem. I am extremely saddened and depressed after paying a huge amount of Rs 8.2 lakhs towards the car. My car resides more in the service center than with me. I would not recommend anyone to buy i20. | Reply

Subramanya i also own i20 crdi and its around 8-9 months now but i m not facing any of such problems i think you should make complain to the company. Well i feel the is extremly good and its easily the best hatchback in the country. Well done Hyundai !! | Reply

Hi Apoorva, I have been complaining to the company since day one, but the problem is yet to be fixed. Last week I gave the car for repairs and 2nd service and the service center took 5 days but gave the car back to me in the same condition. Again yesterday I have left the car in another service center hoping they will fix the car at least this time around :(. | Reply

Subramanya, I Own i20 CRDi Asta with sunroof, So far my mileage in Highways 16kmpl and town limit 14kmpl, Well regarding the rattling Noise, Its comon with Hyndai vehicles, but most of known rattling noise produced by i20 is steering column noise, This is a manufacturing defect, Which Hyundai forwarded a circular to all Dealers stating that any cars with steering column complaints must to fixed by replacing the Bush (Dont do this coz it will tighten your steering) Instead claim for warranty replacement for your steering column. Many of my friends who own i20 has the same complaint and they got it replaced.

have been driving since last April 2009.Comfortable in good road but uncomfortable in bad road due to low ground clearance.Pick up not very powerful/fast.Otherwise its best in its segment with reasonable price tag.One of the best in style. | Reply
 Chandra (25 March 2010 20:36) Reply to Th Robert Tiba
I too agree, ground clearance is low. But that is true with almost all hatch back/sedans (except maruthi cars). True, i20 with kappa is under powered. Difficult to move the car in 2nd gear if car comes to halt near road humps | Reply
