"Hyundai brings out the all-new 2012 Eon"

[niky]

Nothing much, really.

Manufacturers choose radiator materials based on the needs for lightness or cost. Most specify plastic and aluminum for new radiators.

Old-school radiator shops prefer radiators with brass or steel end tanks because they don't have the equipment to weld aluminum and plastic can't be welded. But most modern cars go at least 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers before needing any cooling system replacement parts (mostly hoses), and replacements are usually cheap. Then there are those more modern shops that can fabricate brand new radiators for you in any size or shape you want.

Found this online Review: 2012 Hyundai Eon, Southeast Asia Spec |

The original article was translated to another language then translated back to English and posted. Good thing they still credited the original author hehehe

"The Eon is a illusory automobile for us bad people who suffer removing 60 miles per gallon of indeterminate gasoline on a unchanging invert with a atmosphere conditioning going full-blast. But attack a vast 8-0 is not in a cards. Not unless we have half-a-minute to kill and some Excedrin."

Ano daw?

Review: 2012 Hyundai Eon, Southeast Asia Spec |

[arkaye]

Just saw a white Eon with black bumpers driving along Ayala. Looks pretty good physically, just not a fan of the black bumpers.

Any more feedback from owners of this unit? I'm eyeing this model for purely city driving.

[JohnM]

I actually like the base model more with its black bumpers. Or maybe that's just me computing the savings in paint from inevitable fender benders. Pentel pen lang solb na

Saw a white base model at BGC with "Hyundai San Pablo" plates A clone of Niky's magic mushroom was parked near the dealership last Saturday. It was gone the next day.

Napansin ko lang that the Eon had good front seats, body hugging siya making it really comfortable to sit at. Maliit lang talaga loob thats why I somehow feel claustrophobic when I sat in one with doors closed.

sir renzo,

pwede malaman height nyo? re: front seats having fixed head rest, others (forums) disagree stating that the head rest should be adjustable to fit driver height. good for you sir, sakto siguro ang height nyo para sa front seat ng eon so not need to have adjustable head rest.

5'8 po. Medium built, if that would matter. Hehe.

Para nga siyang bucket seats, eh..

Why'd you pay 18k per month for such a cheap car? Save up for a bigger downpayment and get yourself a decent monthly amortization rate. Save up that 18k per month for six months and you can make a downpayment big enough to drop monthlies to well under 10k... Between 6-8k if I recall the last quote I was given. Paying 12-18k per month for a sub-500k car is insane.

Syur, usually banks can give you 25-27% interest for a 5-year term. Sa 2-3 years definitely mas mababa. I think you can get a better deal than that.

In-house quote sayo parang ang mahal eh.

Ay ganun ba. Yung quotation ng Hyundai Tuguegarao??

[renzo_d10]

Yup.

Insurance mo 25k? To give you an idea, nung nakuha ko Vios ko last month the insurance they gave me was 17k inclusive of AOG.

Yung 25k mas mataas pa yan sa insurance na in house ng Honda.

[taraki17]

sir syuryuken,
if you plan for the 50% down and 2yrs... avail mo yung promo nila sa rcbc bank.
its like less than 3% interest for the 2yrs loan (considering the freebies: compre, lto reg, chattel, and pms)

[Syuryuken]

Gulat nga din ako sa 25k sobrang taas talaga kahit inclusive na yung AOG.

Ok sir! maraming salamat ulit

[renzo_d10]

Bro, tignan mo rin baka mamaya may hidden charges bigla yan RCBC.

If clear, pwede na yun imho.

Goodluck and enjoy! Hehe
