My Hyundai i10 sounds like a diesel - is this normal?
Is it normal for the engine to sound more like a diesel than petrol engine?

Your Hyundai i10 has a three cylinder engine, rather than a four cylinder engine that is more commonplace in petrol cars. This may be why your engine sounds a little unusual from previous petrol cars you may have owned.
However, if the engine is making a clattering sound and is excessively noisy, it may be worth taking it to your dealer for an inspection just to be sure it is working as it should.
