Garry…..if you’d bothered reading my previous posts you would have realised that i am a fan of Hyundai and not a fan of Toyota for too many reasons that i care to explain again BUT to claim Hyundai has caught up with the Japs is being a little one eyed and optimistic!! if you ask me if i think Hyundai will catch Toyota in quality i’d say very very soon because Hyundai is improving and the Thailand Toyota’s are nothing to wright home about! BUT let’s not bash Toyota more than they deserve (which is a lot already!!)

Carl & TP that is just rubbish I left Toyota and now buy Hyundai because there build quality is so much better then Toyota.If looked after a Hyundai can do 300000k’s plus with very little if any trouble.Open your minds and eyes a little.

TP….i agree Hyundai can’t match Toyota yet but if they continue improving at the current rate and think out side the square like the i30 diesel or a range of LPG hybrids then in ten years time they might be very close to Toyota and so will VW by then…..and that will force Toyota to lift it’s game and offer cars that use fuels that are cheaper than petrol and diesel!!

Carl Hyundai still cant match Toyota for durability and they still fail in simple things. The evidence is in the sales, despite all these “attractive” Hyundais on offer they aint selling that great

carl,
i agree mate.
but on the other hand i dont think ford should head to hybrids (which are just as much of a short termer as LPG).

they really need to get serious about their E-Gas range. i mean if you had a large car pumping out the same 195kw and banging aroung getting 10L/100k on official figures (bear in mind they can already achieve that on HWY cycle)

then why would you buy anything else if fuel bills were of the focus?

all ford need to do is offer a sequential system and offer it with something other than the 4speeder.
mine goes great on the 5sp manual box
but yep, i say pull your finger out too
