The tall 80 profile tyres are carried over onto this car as well, and bump absorption and ride quality are pretty decent. Large craters do cause some crashing and it does get quite choppy over high speed bumps but otherwise most road irregularities are dealt with silently.

The overall stance, the positive feel from the electric steering system, and the confidence with which the i10 Kappa2 handles and corners also means that you can really have a blast driving this car. That said, the i10 does suffer from relative lack of grip due to the narrow 155 section tyres and the added performance of the Kappa2 engine means you often feel the need for extra grip.
