And even then, the only reason Honda didn't call us every six months was because we did 10,000 kms in just two to three months.

If you think Hyundai is being unreasonable with the 5k / 3mo interval, you've never owned a brand new car before...
Well niky i do own a brand new 2012 kia sorento, and the pm schedule is 5000km/6 months.

And prior to that a brand new 2009 hyundai santa fe gen 2, and the pm schedule was also 5000km/6 months.

And before that a brand new 2007 hyundai starex grx, and the pm schedule was also 5000km/6 months.

And a brand new 2001 mitsubishi lancer mx, the pm schedule was also 5000km/6 months.

And so too was my brand new 1997 mazda 323, also with a 5000km/6 months pm schedule.

Why, oh do please tell why, my brand new hyundai grand starex bought in 2011, with a pm schedule of 5000km/6 months in the owner's manual, would suddenly need to be serviced every 3 months? What could justify this change 4 months after i purchased the vehicle and be told that their much advertised 5 year warranty will be voided if i do not follow?
