Sorry for the formatting, it was all lined up in the preview paneit does the job. :goodjob2: :mrgreen:
I didn't realize what a minority we're in.
How much weight does popularity & sales figures actually carry. Somebody please explain what it is, that enables a minority like us, to so much enjoy our vehicles. Could it be true that Toyota owners are that much happier.,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Dazz :question:
that's a very interesting post dazz. :confused: my father owns a Toyota landcruiser and he said his local dealers service dept is totally useless. :Shocked: on the other hand I'm extremely impressed with our local Hyundai mechanics. :mrgreen: i think its a case of service from dealer to dealer in this case. :idea:I didn't realize what a minority we're in.

I love our Hybrid and am very impressed with the Toyota service department (compared to the Hyundai one...) However, the i40 Diesel is very much on our short list as a replacement in 2013 or 14 :razz: and Trish wants to keep her CW for 10 years +
I look at it another way Phil, look where Hyundai is compared to Honda, Subaru and Mitsubishi (close to toppling Mazda too) :goodjob:
It's only a matter of time I think. This brings up one point that niggles at me, That our cars are Sth Korean origin. I realise the Sth Korean''s defend democracy fiercely, I just wish our money was going to a more stable area. Those guys up north are crazy,,,,, and dangerous. :fum:i was of the impression that the dealers bought the cars from the factory,then sold the cars to us for a profit. :confused:
If the guys up north lose the plot.. it will be more than Hyundai who would be effected :confused:i imagine your right dazz. :disapp:
I read somewhere that the 2012 i30 for Oz will be sourced from Europe (hope they lift their quality control) :whistler:
Steve.. I guess most of our money still ends up in Korea (one way or the other) :mrgreen:
If they come out of Europe, count me out. & Why would they come from there. :question:I'm fairly sure the i30 is designed in germany,i may be wrong though.
I'm fairly sure the i30 is designed in germany,i may be wrong though.
I have a 2010 european i30 which has had less problems than any of the three Audis I owned previously.Ive never owned a car built over seas until i bought 2 i30's. :winker: but i will ad that people i know that own some of your higher priced euro cars say that they are over priced and un relyable pieces of.... i better stop there. :winker: :lol:
The only problem I have had in 13000 miles is the chrome on the alloy wheel inserts blistering - they have been changed twice under warranty.
My wife's i10 has been totally faultless - as has a daughters Getz and a friend's i20.
Hence I am at a loss to understand why you Aussies see the Euro cars as unreliable. There are plenty of problems reported on the forum with Korean built cars.

Sorry for the formatting, it was all lined up in the preview paneFixed :D
Fixed Alan's as well. If you want to see how difficult it is in SMF, do a quote on either post :sweating:
Well said Keith - I'm with you all the way.
I will admit it took some doing to get me off Audis - but was persuaded by an i30 test drive and a close look at my bank balance.
