Quality Of Hyundai

[vikoy]

asawa ng kaibigan ng misis ko ang nagsabi,kung baga dadating daw dito part by part,which is pag inaassemble regardless kung anong part number basta importante bago yung ikakabit.wala naman pinagiba yan sa local assemble na toyota at nissan atbp.kaya di ko sya maintindihan.
madami syang sasakyan, trooper '03,crv '00,altis'06,xtrail '06, ngayon gusto nya ng hyundai naman kaso nawalan sya ng gana.so pati misis ko naconvince na wag bumili ng starex
isa pa nga pala pano yung mga madaling kinakalawang sa starex na correct na ba nila to?isa pa nga pala yung mga bushing sa ilalim mahinang klase na plastic.Pero gusto ko talaga itsura nya at yung laki nya tamang tama kumpara sa spacegear.
hirap kumbinsehin si misis.

CBU ang mga Hyundai dito dahil walang local plant ang Hyundai. You can see new shipments being driven off the ship. Just ask Hyundai when the next ship will come and go to the pier where the ships will be docked.

The rusting fender thing was solved around 6 years ago. Bushings are made of rubber and are not that hard to replace but they last pretty long unless your family driver used to be with R&E or Wallis. Your choice of bushings: OEM Hyundai, OEM Mitsubishi or replacement.

The Starex is a licensed version of the Space Gear. It's just wearing different clothes now because under Hyundai it took an evolutionary path different than that of the Space Gear. But they're pretty much the same in the parts you can't readily see. Even the A/T units of the Starex come from Aisin. The Japanse company that supplies most major Japanese automakers (e.g. Toyota and Mitsubishi).

There's a poster here in tsikot (sorry forgot his handle), he owned a L300 Versa van and a '04 Starex. I think he has owned the L300 for more than ten years and he claimed that his '04 Starex had accrued more repairs in two years time compared to number of repairs in the ten years that he owned the L300.

That was kokey, in the L300 vs Starex thread.

[OTEP]

Nagkaron na kami ng L300. Wala talagang masisira dun because there's nothing in it! Hehehe. It's just a shell with an engine.

But in my 10 years sa UST mga tatlong L300VV's ang bumigay ang front suspension. Sheared off the frame mounts! Yung gulong tumukod sa fender. I don't know kung bakit ganun. Halos lahat pareho ang mga scenario, doing slow speed maneuvers while parking then ka-blam. The vehicles were privately owned with student stickers (hindi fleet vehicles ng UST).

Yung samin napatid din prematurely yung timing belt (L300 gas po ito). Wala namang major damage. Buti na lang hindi sinubukan i-restart ng driver.

[oldblue]

there's nothing to repair sa L300. bec. it runs and it sounds like a broken vehicle naman all the time hahaha.

kapag dala ko L300FB ko, eto talaga yun feeling na nothing to lose, yun feeling na baka magasgasan, baka malubak ng malalim, wala na yun basta bahala na lang. kapag may sobrang lakas na kalampag, normal yun.

sometimes nga, I want to get rid a fairly-running business of mine just to get rid of this vehicle eh hehehe.

sobra pa kung apihin ka sa kalsada if you drive this vehicle.
sarili ko ng lane, binubusinahan pa ako na parang ba wala ako karapatan.

wish I can save enough money to replace this with the Starex negosyo van.

No repairs on an L300? Sobrang bait yata, ah...

I absolutely hate the L300. It's a great utility vehicle, yes, but as a passenger conveyance, I've dubbed it the "monoxide chamber". Fender rust and exhaust rust combine to pipe nice, noxious exhaust gases back into the cabin.

its nice to hear that many people now are beginning to accept the fact that korean vehicles, Hyundai in particular, had finally catched up with the competition. Back in 2004, nung mag post ako about my newly bought tucson, daming mga remarks na "ang pangit pangit ng harapan". mahinang klase yan Hyundai? , etc, etc. After two and a half years, napapangiti na lang ako pag may nababasa akong thread tulad nito.

[charriolkid]

may isang may ari ng franchise ng hyundai ang nagsabi na hindi daw maganda ang getz after 5 years.. yun lang daw ang lifespan nya.. sana hindi totoo..

[niky]

Hehe... how would he know? The Getz has only been out for two years... sounds like he doesn't like what he's selling... :hihihi:

[OTEP]

Si Madame Auring na ba ang nakakuha ng Franchise ng Hyundai?

Lahat naman ng sasakyan ay designed with a 5 year lifespan (kaya nga new models come out every 5 years). Otherwise, wala nang bibili ng sasakyan.

Nasa may ari na lang kung mapapahaba niya ang life ng sasakyan.

Kerek! Our '98 11-seater Starex is still up and running. 8 years, and a lot of abuse, and it still hasn't quit. Though Hyundai did something right, alot of TLC came from my Dad, too.

[vikoy]

yan ang puna ko sa L300 meron ako dati FB pero after 1 year ayaw na tuumakbo ng lagpas 100kph yung diesel engine yata ay galing korea mas matulin pa yung FB ng tiyuhin kong 88 model kesa 96 FB ko.pansin ko pa habang tumatanda parang tao yumuyuko.suspension yata mahina.kaya kung L300 kunin ng misis ko gusto ko gasoline.
tama nga kayo ito yata ang pinakalumang model na natitira ngayon sa daan na binebenta ng Mitsu.Starex pa rin gusto ko siguro naman naimprove na nila yung mga problema nila dati.HiAce magandang Van kaso sobrang haba.kung may madaming pera lang ako Caravelle sana.wait and see na lang sa December kung ano maipapalit ko sa 93gli ko.sa totoo lang gusto ko performance ng gli ko kaso panganay ko pang na 9 yo 36 na ang baywang, so tatlo sila sa likod uupo magjijeep na lang yung yaya nila.kita kita na lang sa Mcdo

[niky]

It depends a lot on the owner, actually... like in IMm29's case, inalagaan...

Nakakita na ako ng Nissan Urvan at Toyota Hiace na mabilis malaspag at ma-overhaul dahil di maganda yung pag-gamit at pangangalaga din... Kung tama lang ang pangangalaga, tatagal naman ang sasakyan.
