Anybody interested in a new car Hyundai have got a great deals going on the Hyundai I30 series 2 and Elantra series 2 ,I mean great deals, nothing to do with the company just a happy Hyundai i30 Active X series 2 owner.
We decided to replace our faithful Getz last year. 60,000 km & only minor problems. Lousy trade in from all dealers.
The Getz had been a great basic vehicle.
Looked at the full range of Hyundai as a starting point & then went thru most of the mid priced, mid size cars.
Liked the get up & go of the VWs but were put off by their hard working tiny motors & need for premium fuel. They offered great warranties but I would be concerned about costs after warranty. Although we liked the reputation of Toyotas, to us they were 'stale'. ie. need a makeover. Not into Fords & Holdens (unreasonable bias perhaps)
All this is rather subjective of course & I'm sure that others will have quite different views.
In the end we went for a Mazda 3 and couldn't be happier. Although a bit dearer than the Getz it has a far better feel about it both in appearance & ride/comfort.
Having said that I can see how people love their Hyundais. Certainly value for money.
I bought a Hyundai i30 in 2012 after owning VW Golfs for years and it's the best car I've ever had. So much bang for your buck and it hasn't missed a beat since I got it. Their reverse camera and inbuilt GPS are great quality. The only negative I have is the quality of the AM radio. FM is fine but I listen to lots of AM. That's only a minor thing though.
