HI Jay Jay
I ‘m newcomer for cars review, most of my review data came from another site. I apologize if my oppinion about Hyundai car is negative comment. I write this comment from my experience my friend about 10 people, they use Hyundai and almost of them (about 8 of 10) not happy to use it for long time.
However I ever drive hyundai car, my first sight is this car is very normal nothing interest in this car. I sorry if my experience it’s less over to say that Hyundai is low quality.

Thank you.

Hey seven seater suv,

What you wrote here (and on your website) is very painful to read. But, having said that, your website would suggest that you fancy yourself as a car critic.

However, your comments above are clearly extremely biased, and is nowhere near being a fair and impartial review of the brand that a credible critic would write.

So, if you want to further your website and your reputation as a car critic, may I suggest that your try to write impartial reviews that justify your opinions in a fair manner. In addition, get someone to help you rewrite your reviews on your website, as it is incredibly painful to read and hard to understand what your are trying to convey.

Cheers

Here’s an opportunity for someone in shipping. I recently bought a Hyundai Getz 1400 Manual 5 door. First of all, the frontal view of the Getz is much more pleasing than that of the i10 or i20. I like the conservative, clean grille of the Getz. That thing in the middle looking like something ready to drip from a nose in the i10 and i20 is positively ugly. Most new cars have lost the plot when it comes to frontal appearance. The Getz has been around for seven or so years – plenty of time for Hyundai to iron out problems. I filled it up with petrol last night. The consumption was a very pleasing 5.8L/100Km. Driving tended to be more open road than city. It only has 1200Km on the clock, so this may even improve. The engine is very smooth. It doesn’t do much below 2500 revs/min, but quickly reaches highway speeds and easily maintains them. So far I’ve tried to not exceed 3000 revs/min. It has no rattles or squeaks, the doors close nicely and the seats are nice and firm and high. Ground clearance is good. At $13500 ($490 below the current special offer – search the Internet for dealers willing to do a deal) drive away, brand new, it was a very good buy. There is no reason to shun a Getz.

I agree with Marvin. I am currently in the market for a car for my daughter and have been holding back purchase waiting on the pending release of the i20 in September or October 2009. However as the release of the i20 has now been held back to sometime early in 2010 month unknown I will have to seriously consider purchasing either a Mazda 2 or a Suzuki Alto. Would of preferred to purchased the i20 however can’t wait forever.

I agree, this is a bad move for Hyundai.
Firstly, the Hyundai Getz is terribly old and not up to par with current safety standards.
Secondly, a slew of mini cars are approaching the Australian market. Delays in launching the Hyundai i20 will result in lost market share.

I just took delivery of an i30 crdi for my wife. I was blown away with the value and quality. I am a turbo diesel convert now.

Wanting to downsize but looking for something with some “go” I thought what about one of these i20s I have been reading about. I was very disappointed to here I won’t be upgrading for another 6 months. I am very hopeful that Hyundai see their way to importing a 1.6 crdi model such as is available in the UK. It would be a real gem and do lots to inspire young buyers. (Think of the effect that the original mini cooper S had on 60s car buyers. Hardly any of them could afford a cooper S but lots of them still bought a mini.)

While I’d agree with you that it’s unfortunate, there are no such issues with the cars, the problems are as stated, fixing the pricing given the complicated, but cheaper build process of India/Korea and the issue, which other companies also have, of no RORO shipping between India and Australia

Bad move from Hyundai. This could cost them. The Getz is getting seriously long in the tooth.

There has to be a manufacturing issue in Korea or a compliancy issue which is driving this delay.
