Once Denmark was mikrobilernes stronghold. Danish consumers were wild with the small practical city car, which offered relatively much car for little money. But among other things, tax changes have helped to pull the drivers up in the larger vehicle classes, and it has given minibilerne tailwind.
But mikrobilerne is not dead and gone, and indeed you can still get quite a lot of car for the money in the A-segment.
Hyundai will with a new version of their mikrobil i10 lure buyers and prove that the class has merits. The weather is unstable, so one could for a moment believe that the test is being conducted in Denmark weather conditions.

in relation to class wise, and it costs neither collapsed teeth or fractures of the spine to run over the larger holes in the road.
Hyundai brander i10 as ’sporty’. On the winding mountain roads in Portugal, it leaves a solid impression as a well-run mikrobil with a quite precise steering. A go-kart it is not, but compared to its class running i10 good, and the five manual transmission is precise to operate.

manually Select gears
If you will not have the five manual gearbox, as the car usually is equipped with, the model can be obtained with a newly developed selvskiftende manual gearbox. It sounds a little nerdy, but this is due to there not is an ordinary automatic gearbox.
it is a manual gearbox which is automated, which means that a robot takes over the switching function.
You must not change itself, for it makes the car for one, but the system feels sluggish and weird to run with. The shifts are not quite soft, and sitting and waiting for that next gear is ready, why it only makes sense to opt in, if you can’t operate a clutch.
