![RM 50 千的 Myvi 价钱买到一辆 Hyundai Sonata ?! [马来西亚车评节目]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EVJl4JKjiN8/mqdefault.jpg)
i have a Hyundai i10 that is entering its 11th year now and is really reliable. The only problem with the car is the engine mounting after driving for 200k km
I owned the Elantra 2013. Here are the things I encountered after 7 years of driving:
The first few years I had the brake pad issue where it make funny noise when u brake, common issue with Elantra manufactured in 2013. Replace with an OEM part and it worked brilliantly after that.
On the 6th year, the airbag sign turned on. Bring it into SC and got it changed due to malfunction. Around RM4xx include labour.
On the 6th year, the front suspension also making funny noise when going thru speed bump and plastic bump. Spent RM2k to replace the entire suspension system, original part.
On the 7th year, I noticed the alternator seems to produce at half capacity. Not a big issue as it only deplete the battery at a faster pace. I haven't replace the part yet. Stockist sell OEM part around RM600, original RM900. SC charged RM1200 include labour.
I use fully synthetic oil that last 10K interval but I changed it after 8-9K interval. Changed my gb oil every 20K and brake fluid every time I changed brake pad. Engine and gb worked perfectly until today. But felt vibration after 5th year when engine idle due to harden engine mounting.
All in all, I am very satisfied with the car. Checked on carlist.my, valuation around 28K while same year Honda City around 35K. Does it worth it? Hell yes! Elantra cruise better at high speed than Honda City with longer wheelbase and wider tyres. Wider tyres make a lot difference under wet condition.
@Alif Haiqal i used 5-40 fully Syn oil depending on what brand u use but I felt Mobil is the best for Elantra. That cost around 3xx per 4L bottle. Normal service just within 400. I changed gearbox oil every 40K. The rest are wear and tear. Insurance yearly rm3xx with NCD 55%
My i10 10 yrs no major issue whatsoever and now with ioniq 3 yrs also ok. Service every 9 months/15000km and with 3 yrs free service. Basically my previous 3 yrs servicing i didn't pay any. My KIA Rio and Forte also ok. Korean car superbly reliable and easy to maintain.
Nice one Kon! Just a suggestion, can you compare Kia's reliability and maintenance costs on a separate video as well? It would be interesting to compare both Korean makes.
glad you made this video! I own a 2012 elantra..8 years and 150k later, yet to face any issue other than the usual wear and tear...spare parts are nothing higher than a myvi or the usual japanese suspects..super reliable.
owhh..plus plenty of oem parts in the marketplace if you're looking to save some money ;-)
Nice! Good to know!
My wife's 18 year old Atoz is still running perfectly till this day and maintenance is peanuts. Super reliable until she doesn't even want a new car.
But the FC is poor for a 1.0
I stay in Penang and her furthest destination is 15km away. Fuel consumption is not an issue and she only drives once or twice a week lol
Ahh, in that case any car just fit the usage. Under utilised. In KL, my 1 trip from home to office took me 46km. My 1.6 sedan is cheaper to run than Atos. My brother owned it many years back. He pumped more than 4 times for a trip to Terengganu while his senior pumped only once using a 1.6 Corrolla. My bro sold it after 2 years. Beh tahan... Lol
Finally i can tune in to a video yang bukan berkisar pada politik..good topic aswell👍👍
We have an Inokom Getz (essentially a Hyundai in a different name)
Clocking in 310k km (Still counting) in about 14 years . (Engine Overhaul once)
The ride quality and performance is still superb.
Maintenance on parts is annual affairs (The most frequent replacement is Engine Mounts and lower arm)
but for a car that crossed the 300k mark and still coming in a piece. Its pretty impressive.
More videos on korean cars please..to create awareness to Malaysians about how good and reliable they are now unlike the old days.. Subscribe done!
Hyundai cars are actually pretty ok in terms of maintenance costs. My family is now having the old sonata NF and the new LF. The NF is year 2008 and have been very reliable since new and recently overhauled the suspension system due to wear and tear. To my surprise, the price for replacement parts are way cheaper than Toyota in the same segment (Camry). The engine have been smooth n quiet so far until today.
As for the 2016 LF, the car still have warranty covered and claimed a number of parts like sidemirrors noisy, headunit player, rear light, rear speed sensor unit. The car is fine but ordering parts for claim take a long time as the parts are direct from Korea.
The mechanical parts of both the cars are quite reliable and no problems so far.
khguan ya bro.. korean is very generous.. my kia forte change many things in warranty period.. not because it broke.. some make wired noise also they change new.. my steering leather peel off also got new steering.. twice..
That's weird because my friend almost broke repairing his Sonata NF, until he sold it off and vowed never buy a Korean car again.
@@hinrei1986 probably he bought the car from a person who didnt take good care of the car before? My NF the engine only changed the aircon compressor, FEAD belt and power steering pressure hose due to wear n tear other than engine oil changes. Nothing else and the engine is still running smooth with almost 180000km on the clock. The most expensive ever spent on the car was the aircon compressor which was about RM1.8K, and the tyres RM1200 for 4pcs. Nothing much..
My mum's 2001 Hyundai Matrix 1.8 GLS still running well..even after 500k KM. So far it has been good...well of course after using for 2 decades..the gearbox did go down once and replaced...and air cond did go down as well got em fixed...the engine still running good...I guess other than that is just tear and wear....that car is quite a memorable one...I grew up with it since I was 7years old and now I'm already in the 20s and its still running...tough car...just like my mother T.T and 5 years ago she bought the 2014 santa fe...been running it for 160k KM. Thank God no major issue...just got to deal with major service cost + tear&wear...they're very reliable...granted if you're discipline with the servicing and all...you're good to go!
Shit…500k mileage. Same as my dad matrix,being drive for 15years and still going.
@@coltrain7 no surprise bro! Glad to hear that as well.
A toyota can have that mileage with original gear box
Ofcoz of you can buy , provided you can tahan the 2nd hand value....no problem ! jgn nak bising klu nk jual kete 2-3 yrs later...sakit coz of the price ok
Been using a Kia Forte for 8.5 years and totally happy with it. Very reliable and not expensive to maintain if you get parts from any trusted korean car parts suppliers. The car still runs like new.
May i know which shop u sent your car to for the maintenance work? Tq
@@afiqarman990 Korean car mates, shah alam
I using Elantra XD, Trajet old car.
Normal service cost is normal.
Spare parts is expensive but the good thing is those spare parts once u changed.
It really can last for years.
My cars more than 10years. Those air con, engine mounting...etc
So far replace once only.. still running good until now
Bang, saya bercadang nak beli hyundai elantra 1.8 antara tahun 2001 ke 2005,apa pendapat abg berkaitan dengan parts, reliability?
Good body structure , p.s. Need Check the bumpers , headlight , driveshaft , arm link., lower arm , windscreen , cooling coil , air con blower., alternator. side mirror ..price difference and availability at non dealer spare parts shops for after warranty maintenance .
I think its not the service, but the spare parts should you need it. Minor accident spare parts
My Hyundai Sonata used to be with Hyundai for service until year 8
What do think of the hyundai sonata lf? Is it a good buy? 2nd hand price is attractive
@@joe700700 I think the Sonata is a safe and reliable platform. The engines are detuned for increased reliability but in the same context not the most exciting as a new car comparatively until you look at prices. At the price point... if you love the looks, it's a great car for the money. The looks and the branding is the only thing you have for answer yourself if you are ok with. I was fine with a Hyundai badge and loved the way my EF looked
Hyundai really reliable and durable car ... quality better than yoda ...
I take the trouble to go all the way to thailand to service my honda civic, it cost less at least 40% lesser than in malaysia and I get 6 months warranty from honda Thailand everytime I bring my car there for servicing.
And your journey to N fro cost you?
@@racingsword6617 after factoring in toll and petrol still cheaper, when I service with HM my car has never ending problems and HM can't solve any it. 3 months into the ownership my engine oil seal leaking, technicians say its over spilling when pouring engine oil, after that my power steering motor gave way and technicians say its wear and tear hence unable to claim. When car system error and all the lights came up, sc told me to drive my car home and make a booking first then drive back later. Since day 1 honda Thailand services my car there has been 0 problems till this very day. Mine is a 2017 1.5tc btw mileage already 110k
In small towns, please don't buy hyundai car, as my car dealer was closed last year in Miri. So in big city may ok.
Korea cars are usually good condition for long time, maintenance is low
I own an Ioniq recently. All the parts replacement price is reasonable except for AC service. I sincerely don’t believe AC which is closed loop system needs frequent servicing every 18 months. But for comparison sake, Honda’s service pricing is much cheaper. A quick glance of Civic maintenance table will tell a lot.
no matter what car u should always service your aircond gas atleast 2 years. over time the oil degrades due to heat expansion and contraction in the system. servicing meaning flushing the old fluid out and put new fluid in. saves the aircond compressor unless u are the type of people who switch cars like switching handphone. then forget it.
Somehow my CBU Getz 1.3 have never serviced my AC. Not that I don't want but my mechanics says no need. So I sold the car after 8 years, 1 time GB overhauled(no good workmanship, as it jerks) and have done 185k km on it. AC still from factory. Only replace the cabin filter timely.
James Wang it’s a closed loop system. The Gas won’t degrade over time. You only need to flush out if there’s leakage that needs to be fixed. I agree the oil needed to service but that’s it. The gas that stays in the loop for compression and de-compression doesn’t need to flushed.
Owned 3 Korean cars.
i10 - since 2009
K5 - since 2012
Sorento (UM) - since 2019
Just the usual (10k km) servicing and change of wear and tear parts after 5 years (>120,000 km). Maintenance is still way cheaper than my previous Camry, reliability is second to none as there were no breakdowns, or any parts that somewhat broke.
In other words, how much more reliable can a car be? Those that have yet to try a Korean make are really missing the experience here.
Kimchi cars model after 2008 pretty much having better reliability than model before it. My dad own Naza Citra II Rondo 2010, just usual wear and tear parts replacement and used to own Singapore plate 2008 Hyundai Avante 1.6 A, it is a reliable car too. Just that due to he didn't take care of engine cooling system, engine went bad and overhaul needed. Besides than that, everything is good, total mileage of Avante is 300k km until 2018, scrap due to COE expired.
My sonata nf 2008 no major problem except abs brake unit need replacement and dash prone to crack.
Now retire difficult to sell as not as popular as camry.
Please do for kia too!!
Please do a similar video about VW to quashed the myth because there are too many VW haters in Malaysia
Surely better than Peugeot though is it? (A few Peugeot owning friends had a lot of troubles with their cars. And also the piss poor resale value of these Peugeots.)
I haven't heard too many woes about VW's.
Malaysian not only want reliable car, but good service too. My nephew buy entry level vw vento in ipoh. He said he has to go to taiping for each service as ipoh branch have to wait for so long
@@jijisuka2708 taiping already closed for business
Kon.. good topic, should go some more car brand n compare.. clear the myth out.. me owning KIA fr 10years now, 3 different model..
owning forte for 8year, but still go to SC for mejor servis, if only engine oil change, go out side la, since they cannot use ‘minyak beli luar’.. 2019 i sold my forte..
Other example picanto.. 5year servis price ( compare bezza n saga ) only differ rm500 for 5year at rm4800.. (semi oil), bezza use mineral oil, if im not mistaken..
N honda also still using mineral oil as basic engine schedule.. but can upgrade la..
Do a Ford pls...Focus and Fiesta
my dad bought his i40 from ncs sdn bhd
Ioniq is a cool car
Kon, maybe out of topic, I'm planning to buy 2nd generation of Kia Picanto, what is your thought or someone out there shared experience owning this vehicle? Is it unreliable and costly to maintain?
I rather have malaysians keep having that perception so that used Hyundais are cheap to buy. I love collecting them knowing that they are as reliable as Toyotas.
hahahaha... interesting. what Hyundai's have you collected"?
The maintenance priced seems alright and more detail. Shows both semi n fully sync oil price unlike some didn't not. Haha
Hey there, I'm getting a 2nd handed hyundai accent 1.5 manual 2006 , was wondering if the service cost the same in the video? Or cheaper? Since it is showing Santa Fe details 😂
Hi, how about the Veloster, can you shed some light?
I would expect it to cost the same to upkeep as an Elantra.
Sent my ioniq yesterday for 2nd service. Drove in and out of the sc without having to touch my wallet
Cheaper then myvi
Hi kon noted that the newer korean cars are reasonable to maintain..it is just that after 10 years when the electronics start throwing issues...thats when it becomes super expensive.....coupled to the fact that hyundai Malaysia's model lineup is just so under whelming....would rather stay away from hyundai
The underwhelming part I fully agree. No wow factor.
@@KonWaiLuen yup agreed kon...on the electronics..i had a bad experience on my 2001 hyundai santa fe v6..it had about 200k mileage..in my 2.5 years of ownership..i had to practically rewire the whole car and replace all sensors on the trans and engine...lets just the mechanic who fixed my car...was doing so well that he got himself a BMW motorrad....
It's not unreliable. Some of their spare parts and BP repair are expensive. On top of that, good luck with their legendary services.
Is it okay to buy a starex in second hand and service in hyundai, anyone pls do give me suggestion
Yes not an issue at all.
@@racingsword6617 ouhh okay
Anyone can give any comment about hyundai getz, im a student and planning to get a getz. Please help me evoMalaysia team🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I previously owned the very 1st batch CBU. Its a compact hatch but very comfortable compare to myvi if you often do highway. Just a bit sluggish for city traffic. For a student is very decent as the boot space is ok for bags, racquets. Maintenance wise I guess is slightly higher compart to Myvi as many parts(at least my time I only buy originals at Hyundai Parts Centre is Glenmarie). Now in used car they have 2 variant, CBU 1.3 or CKD 1.4. CKD is a bit cost down in trims but engine upgraded for Malaysia climate i guess. But nowadays may aftermarket options so could be affordable to run. Fuel consumption is not too bad if you regularly service on time. I actually like it because the size is easy parking but good enough boot space. Quiter drive for crusing, not a sport car.
I'll go with Perodua Kelisa if I were you.
@@Zim___ agree, as a student best is not get huge car. You be doing many charity drive for your peers. Lol.
Hyundai current line up of Cars honestly sucks.. Ugly..
you loose through your pants.on this car.GO ahead and buy one and sell it after one year.See what happen. You need to keep it until kingdom come and sell as scrap.
Buying a new car just to sell it after a year sounds like not an ideal financial choice.
If you're that type of person, why not consider getting a used car instead?
Haha. Germaine, you spoke my mind.
It is like planning to get married and divorce 1 year later
It seems like Malaysian car buyers are way too particular about resale value. If it's a car that you're planning to keep for a long time, I doubt resale value matters all that much (Although some argued that resale value also coincides with insurance payouts if involved in an accident. But let's not talk about that point.)
I think things that matters more for long term car buyers, mainly the maintenance cost and overall reliability. I find that as a valid aspect to consider when buying a car, new and used.
Why bother about RV if u rich enuf changing car every year??
