Its a good family car but i always thought Hyundai only made slow cars like the Getz,I30,120 etc. But it suprised me when i found out about this.

Judging by your comments I bet that you have never sat in an ix35. I am 190 cm tall and have plenty of head- and legroom in this car. Try the highlander model for size and fitout….you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Folks, Folks, folks,

It is not just the government import duty but also the manufacturer’s and dealer’s ego. Do you want an example? BMW’s 335i & Nissan 370 Z in the US cost more or less the same with the Nissan being approx 10 or so percent cheaper. In OZ?? the bimmer is roughly 30 – 40 grand more expensive? Why??

BMW’s arrogance and snobs for pricing their cars way above their Asian rivals and the same applies to Audi, Merc and soem European brands.

Yes I can afford to buy the E63 AMG or BMW M5 but decide to boycott their products. Screw you Bimmer, merc, Audi

What happens after traveling 100,000klms,would the sealed gearbox need fresh oil.

How long does synthetic oil last?

What does “for the life of the vehicle mean?”

Fitting an outside oil cooler is a must for towing and extended life, but what is life to a sealed unit?

Most of our cars are imported and they are still cheaper then the ix35 what’s your point… we are not talking about the car being bad we are talking about it costing too much! .. its an Awesome car.. engine alone wins it the best in class.. but the fit and finish especially interior is just poor! .. go sit inside a CX7 then an ix35… its like buying a $10,000 lounge from a high priced furniture store compared $900 one from Fantastic Furniture lol and that’s a fact!

“The CRV has come down $3k just yesterday”

The current CR-V is already outdated, old vehicle.
However, Tucson is still cheaper than CR-V.

@mr.trith
Korean cars are NOT as well engineered as Japanese, maybe a decade/generation behind????

————–
Typical 1980s fashion.

They already outperforms Japanese.
Check, Their r-engine techonogy, chassis, safety, design.
Best in its class.
They ALREADY surpass them.

I don’t know how much price in aus.
Just ask your goverment’s stupid import tax policy.

the prices are just stupid! …i know i’ll be one of those people who will be waiting a few years for them to get back to earth!… I just checked out the car last weekend and even though its a great car its still not to the QTY of a Jap so it should be priced less! Cheap HARD Plastic’s everywhere! ” base Model”
for $32k .. get a clue Hyundai this is not a Mazda or Toyota its a step up from a Tucson that could be had for $22,900 drive away!

That my friend is SILLY money, what happened to the Hyn. Tucson $22,990 driveaway price?

The CRV has come down $3k just yesterday, the best of the lot is the X Trail, RAV and Forester [in that order] all are around this coin.

Rather alarmed your now paying MORE than Japanese prices for Korean…WTF?

Korean cars are NOT as well engineered as Japanese, maybe a decade/generation behind, and they where buying market share with low low prices [still can with the baser Getz.Ed] but now they are on drugs for mine.

Still have poor resale and reputation.

For mine hyundai should be priced the same [or a bit LESS] than GreatWall vehicles!
