Hyundai Eon GLX 2017

[jauwee]

ay quick question. may Airbags po ba ang Eon?sabi kase ng tropa ko meron daw, tas yung sa specs, wala.

[niky]

HAHA! i remembered fitting my friend's Eon with 8 people (kasama syang driver) XD
driver tapos isang mejo malaki sa harap. tapos sa likod tatlong nakaupo, tatlong kandong. From Tomas Morato to Brgy Pag Asa (likod ng SM north) at around 1am
medyo nakahataw pa sya sa circle nun e tas puro lalaki kame, mga 5'4" ~ 5'8" mga height

Brings new meaning to "bonding" time. Hahaha... last time we did that, it was in a 72 Corolla.

by the way, sir Niky, are you the Niky Tamayo of TopgearPH? di nawawala ang pagbabasa sa TGP sa daily routine ko, pagdating sa office yun muna bago emails hahaha!

Shhh... don't tell anyone.

I was planning to buy an Eon, too. First car, newbie driver. Pero ayaw talaga ng nanay ko kasi ang liit daw. eh, mag-ina lang naman kaming gagamit non plus si gf.
Still, hirap pa ako i-convince sya.

To be fair, the Eon still hasn't passed ASEAN NCAP crash testing. If you want to convince your Mother to allow you to buy a small car, Celerio-Mirage-Wigo are all NCAP rated. Mirage still has the best rating of the three (five stars in some markets, with the side airbags), but Celerio is the most economical 1.0 you can buy.

Most economical you can buy for city use, period, is the Alto 0.8... pero if your Mom doesn't like the Eon, no way in hell will she agree to the Alto.

website and pdf brochure make no mention of airbags so assumption is none. especially since they're known to cut corners w/ safety equipment

well, there is the perennial caveat, "specifications subject to change without prior notice".
i suppose, that means, go to the casa and see for yourself. and get it in writing... "pag wala airbags, soli nyo down payment ko!"

ang kyut lang pag nakikita mo sya sa highway na parang batang tumatakbo sa marathon kasabay ng mga batak na runners

wala dok kakabili lang ng kaibigan ko, parcel tray wala na din from 4 speakers dalawa na lang din, power lock wala na din. sobrang tinipid na ang Eon.

[kebloks]

Careful with the Eon. You might be saving money at the cost of your life.



Even with an airbag, the A-pillar is still crushed.

Compared to Wigo (called Agya in other Asian countries)

[GTcervan]

^^What do you expect? Mas magaan ang eon kaysa wigo eh.

[kenneth19]

Kung occasional driving from Manila - Pampanga, Manila - Pangasinan with total of 4 people inside, magkakaroon ba ng problema tong si Eon?

I own an Eon pero di ko pa nasubukan mag-Baguio. Madami akong ka-group sa mga clubs na occassionally ay naakyat ng Baguio, Sagada at matataas na lugar pero wala naman silang nagiging problema. Sa pag-akyat din ng Baguio ang naging review ng ************ ng nag-test drive sila ng Eon last 2012.

Ang model lang for 2017 ay GLX. No airbag. GLS lang ang may airbag nila pero phase-out na ang model na ito.

The Wigo, Mirage and Celerio are all ASEAN market products.

They must all meet ASEAN NCAP crash standards.

The Wigo and Celerio are 3-4 stars. The Mirage is 5 stars with the side airbags. 4 without. It is the only one of the three sold in the US, so it must meet very strict small front overlap standards, as well.

The Celerio is not sold in the US, but is sold in Australia and Europe, so must meet the strict crash standards there.

The Wigo, to its credit, doesn't do much worse than the other two. As it's based on a modified current Japanese Daihatsu platform, that's understandable.

-

The Eon is designed for India.

India doesn't give a flying eff about crash standards. Entry-level Indian-built cars use cheaper steel than elsewhere.

-

The Alto we have is based on an ANCIENT Japanese platform. But it is not made in Japan.

Guess where the Alto is made and sold?

Clue: Stars with an "I", ends with an "ndia"

In buendia ?
hirap naman...

Tibay ng pang-ilalim niyang Eon. dito sa Region 2 pinaglolong distance yan Baguio, Sagada, Diadi andami mong makikitang Eon diyan.

Tanong lang mga Sir kung talagang maasahan at OKs ba ang Hyundai Eon GLX? I dont see a lot of post/threads about this humble car. Since newbie ako, and a 1st time car owner, i want to know more about this dahil ito yung napupusuan kong bilin.


My considerations are:
Looks (Headturner kasi talaga to)
Affordability (I checked, Yung GLX ay 513k, GLX + AVN is 530k *One of the cheapest currently out in the market)


I want to know more about:
Maintenance
Reliability
Accessories


I also want to here your Eon Stories. Mas maraming opinyon,mas OK!

I'm glad that there's a thread for this. I'm also considering the Eon price-wise. Income not yet stable and I'm a total noob at driving. I've been hearing a lot of flak from non-Eon users ("disposable car", "flimsy", "underpowered"). They often suggest the Wigo. Pero there's something telling me to get the Eon. Lol.
