The more popular iO five-door has a bigger engine and the option of an automatic transmission, which its baby brother misses out on. It has fair levels of safety and equipment for the outlay and a couple of options for those who crave more creature comforts. The package represents good value for money with low insurance costs, solid levels of equipment, lengthy warranty and 15,000 km service intervals. There also are a host of rivals with similar price tags, so buyers should be prepared to do some homework on their needs regarding this type of vehicle. Not a rocket from a standing start and somewhat underdone under 4000 rpm until the torque hits its peak, the engine performs well with a steady diet of revs and NVH levels are within acceptable levels.
