11,000 on mine and I'd agree with you, in fact so would the trade magazines:-
https://www.whatcar.com/hyundai/i10/hatchback/review/on-the-road/The 1.0-litre engine is exceptionally hushed for a three-cylinder. In fact, it’s actually quieter than the four-cylinder 1.2 much of the time.
Even Top Gear liked it:-
https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/hyundai/i10/drivingIt’s all about quality here - the overriding impression you get from the i10 is one of refinement. This is a city car with a big car feel – wind noise is well-suppressed, the engine note is muted and there’s minimal tyre roar. It’s so good that you wouldn’t think twice about doing a long motorway journey in it. We really mean that.
There isn’t a diesel available in the i10, but the two petrols have got just about enough torque to make decent progress. Our choice would be the 1.0-litre, because the three-cylinder has got more character and feels no slower.0
