I have driven the Atos and of course its successor, the I10.
The I10 is a much nicer car all round. I could not even seat myself properly in the Atos, but I can adjust the seat optimally for my 6' frame in the I10 - and I can then get in the back and sit there with my knees touching each other, but not the front chair. In that aspect the I10 is roomier than even my Insight.

I have both driven the Getz and its successor, the I20 too. Same story.
The I20 is placed in the so-called B segment (subcompact) but is as large as many other makes C segment cars, and better built too.
I would have gotten a new I20 but I wanted A/C and because the A/C versions went just above a fuel tax excemption limit at the time, it was one and a half times as expensive as the base version for just the A/C.
Tax laws changed since then and I'm happy I got the Insight. But the I20 wasn't bad.

Forget the Pony. Todays Hyundais are good.
