Which is a better Volkswagen Polo 1.6 replacement – the Hyundai i20 N Line MT or the Citroen C3 Turbo MT? My requirements are strong performance and sporty to drive.

Autocar India says: The Hyundai i20 N Line is easily sportier to drive due to its reworked steering, sharp handling and retuned suspension. Its engine makes 120hp and offers pleasing performance, and even its 6-speed gearbox is a rather slick unit. What's more, with a larger cabin, bigger boot and a longer list of features, the Hyundai does get you more car for the money. The Citroen C3 Turbo's 110hp turbo feels far more energetic and its performance and acceleration are far superior. However, the C3 lacks the sense of occasion and the feel-good factor of the N Line, so opt for it only for its exceptional engine performance. Else the i20 N Line is far more rounded, and despite it being a bit more expensive, it is the one to go for.
