If you're having to drop back to 3rd on a freeway incline then I think you should take the car back to Hyundai and take the service manager for a drive to show him, somethings definitely not right there.
Seems a bit lacking from your description. Your expectations seem to be right.How many km's? Has it been since new or is it something you have noticed recently? Could you have gotten a bad tank of fuel and fouled up the plugs or something? Some dipstick hasn't left a rag in the air filter after service?Hopefully its nothing major.

I think his concern is G.O.N.Z. = All Black Rugby supporter or Racist Aussie.
If that turns out to be the problem, I'll make sure Firty's around for a long time to come.
*her That is the case, when i change down the revs jump and it picks up majority of the time, but I still shouldn't have to be in 3rd gear to maintain 100kms up a small hill in a 6 speed car but even the engine doesnt sound right. Even on bulli im in 2nd with my foor flat to the floor. I hit the beginning of a hill, drop a gear and it still labours. Same goes with normal hills I shouldn't need to go down 2 gears from 5th to 3rd to maintain speed on a normal incline. Or go from 6th to 4th to overtake on m7, that road is relatively flat.The car tells you with its whole eco thing on the dash to change at around 2.5k, I usually run it up to at least 3k because it backs right off otherwise and its annoying af!The engine should be run in by now and I shouldn't need to rev the guts out of a new car to avoid a line up of cars behind me. I dunno, ive been driving manual for 10+ years and haven't experienced a loss of power on an incline like this before so it just doesn't seem right... it's making me second guess because otherwise its all fine so I dont understand why its happening. Its being a 'rolls cant hardly'... and its supposed to be the upgraded engine with the 10k extra price tag so its leaving a sour taste
