a friend of mine wants to buy a new hyundai can u guys advise on here why she SHOULD NOT buy one i have told her but she doesnt believe me how crap they are.... CHEERS.

well... its a hyundai.....

the front ends on them are really piss week, apparantly a panel beater who works with us said he could almost bend the tie rod ends with his arms

Depends on the type of person who is wanting to buy them... because on an otherwise note I'd say they're actually pretty good reliable cars.

they dont last too long, especially wen a careless chick owns one, chicks tend 2 drive a car however they want without knowing how the car takes it, eg. overrevving constantly and stuff like that, and most hyundais and daewoos dont like that kinda treatment. but apart from that a brand new stock hyundai elantra comes with 107kW flywheel and sum decent torque, i think they hav 1.8, i've been in one and they're fairly comfortable drive, im not sure about the reliability, i guess its the kinda car you'de buy new and sell 2 years old b4 n e thing ***s up

simple reason being.. they are gay!

Well if it is what she wants let her buy it. It's no doubt cheap and economical. I'd say she would be better off with a late model Corolla tho. Toyota's go FOREVER!!

my g'f bought a 96 excel for 4k with rwc. has had it serviced for 75 bux each 5000km's... hasn't missed a beat. gets 550km's per tank (35 bux) city driving....

tell her to buy a vlt - simple Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

There not as bad as people make out. The first ones were **** but they use to run mitsubishi running gear. Now hyundai builds there own engines and most of there transmissions. Also they a 5 year warrantee

there WEAK. but if you put a pod filter and 2.1/4" exhuast they go heaps hard(sarcasim)

not sure if its hyundai or daewoo but haven't one of these factorys closed and parts would be hard to get now and expensive at that

daewoo went broke, GM bought them out. they now sell new model daewoos under a chevy badge in other countries. maybe holden will sell them too, but i doubt it. about the chick buying the car, dont bother mate, its like talking to a brick wall. they dont care how it works or how reliable it is, the only thing chicks care about in a car is how ***n cute it is and how many vanity mirrors it has. let her buy the piece of sh1t and find out the hard way that they are junk when it turns into an oil burning slag heap after 5 years. tell her to buy a corolla if she wants a decent little car, at least it will take the punishment that she will most likely dish out on the poor thing!!! lol -jimmy

I don't like hyandui that much but hell if its what she wants let her go for it..5 year warranty sounds good too.. Theres a turbo excel up here, little ******* hammers.

Personally I'd buy a Mitsubishi Mirage if i had to choose any of those tiny cars... my mums excel has been through 2 auto's, the interior build quality is ****, and paint on it is **** and has corroded...oh and not that any female cares, but it handles like ****. As opposed to my girlfriends old mirage, never had a problem with it...ever. It handled better, went better (altho it was 5 speed so yeh... ) looked better, had a better interior etc etc...... But like someone else said... whatever she thinks looks the best and she's got set in her mind is what she's gonna buy... no use me even typing this Jay Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

why not to buy Hyundai? poor resale value. south korean cars are built to use and throw away like bic lighters.
