Automated single-clutch manuals in general simply suck. They all seem programmed with an overly cautious algorithm that seeks to preserve the gearbox.

We tested one of those things (on a BYD F0) last year. Took almost thirty seconds to hit highway speeds, where the manual took half the time. It wasn't even about the lack of power... the gearbox simply refused to shift in less than two seconds.

Hyundai makes some fantastic small cars. And good news is, seems like they're going to sell the Grand i10 in Australia next year.
