...but my trust in Hyundai is almost gone. Right now I'm working on a letter to Hyundai Sweden to let them know how frustrated I am...
Yeah, I guess you're right Shambles. The blood is boiling but hey, it's a material thing... Thanks for cooling me down. I needed that! 8)And - spring is finally here!
How can we tell where our i30s were made?
car works well and after 5300km we are 100% happy with it
Hi Lucifer,It's a full import from Ullsan, Korea, what they call in local jargon a CBU (completely built-up unit). Most Malaysians think we are mad to pay RM95,000 for a Korean-made car. But my wife decided that most Japanese cars sold here are under-specced and over-priced. The i30 is highly underrated in Malaysia, I am afraid.We had decided to trade in our old Accent for the new generation Accent, but in Malaysia, the new Accent comes with only ONE airbag. Then she decided to try the Elantra (Avante to you guys) and was going to sign up for it. But the salesman and I insisted that she try the i30. Just 50 metres out of the dealership, and she said "this is the car for me!" The i30 is a driver's car, with solid suspension and a great balance between roadholding and handling. And then and there she changed her order from the new Accent to the i30. So far, she is still very much in love with the car, marvelling at its handling everyday! However, the 1.6L model comes with just 2 airbags and no ESP.Incidentally, the i10 comes as a CKD (complete knocked down) unit in Malaysia. In truth, the assemblers just bolt on tyres, wheels and seats. That's the way the local assembler has gotten round the prohibitive import taxes for CBUs, laregly designed to protect the local car manufacturer Proton. So the i10 is a great buy for folks looking for a small car in Malaysia - around RM40,000.Cheers,Slowyak
