Is the Hyundai Exter really an SUV or just a tall hatchback?
02 January 2025 10:30
I'd say it's an SUV. What people want in an SUV is the higher seating position and ground clearance it has. Not all SUVs need to be an enormous off roader.
What do you get for the additional cost of the Hyundai Elantra's tech package?
02 January 2025 10:24
I believe it depends upon how long you want to have the car. If it's a lease or you're looking to sell in a couple years the tech package may help with resale value. I would definitely be worried about repair costs on this thing after it's out of warrenty for long-term ownership.
How is CVT transmission in the Elantra different from automatics?
02 January 2025 10:24
I think Hyundai's IVT is definitely better than some other CVTs I've driven. In automatic mode, it simulates shift points to give you a feeling that it’s more like a regular automatic. It's a good compromise.
Is the Elantra's bold styling passé, or will it soon look dated?
02 January 2025 10:24
The Elantra’s design is going to age like fine wine, I think. It's so distinctive, it'll likely become iconic for this era of car design. Bold moves like this tend to do.
How much of a budget sports sedan is the Elantra N Line? Or is it just clever marketing?
02 January 2025 10:24
For people who want something sportier but aren’t willing to pay for or justify the impracticality of a full on performance car, it’s a good entry point. It’s a 'sports sedan lite' kinda thing.
Are people just lying about the Hyundai Elantra's reliability?
02 January 2025 10:24
I've owned both a Toyota and a Hyundai and honestly the Elantra has been as reliable as my old Corolla. A lot of it, I think, is to do with how well you maintain the car. Regular oil changes and maintaining the schedule are a long way.
Let's compare Creta N Line to other sporty compact SUVs like not even the Volkswagen Taigun GT in this regard.
02 January 2025 10:15
Pure performance belongs to the Taigun GT with its 1.5 TSI engine. It has the feel of a hot hatch in SUV clothing. The Creta N Line is more sporty than the normal Creta, but it’s still more comfortable.
Is the sporty suspension of the Creta N Line, which is aimed at the Indian roads, too stiff?
02 January 2025 10:15
That depends on what your priorities are. It's really good if you like handling and don't mind feeling more of the road. If you want to be isolated completely from the road, then the regular Creta is your best bet.
Is the premium worth for the Creta N Line?
02 January 2025 10:15
In my opinion, totally worth it. It stands out on sportier looks alone, and the tweaked suspension actually makes a noticeable difference in handling. On top of that, you get some cool N Line only features. It’s a no brainer for enthusiasts.
The Creta N Line does it really improve performance or is it just for show?
02 January 2025 10:15
It's better, but it’s not miracles. Of course, the bigger brakes are a nice thing to have, and the steering feels more direct. It’s not going to make the Creta a sports car overnight.
The Creta N Line N10 does not have wireless Android Auto, why?
02 January 2025 10:15
This is most likely because of Hyundai’s BlueLink system. I heard that it uses the same ports that would be needed for wireless Android Auto. It’s kind of a bummer, but I guess they focused on their own tech.
Is the 1.5L NA petrol engine of the Creta underpowered for highway use?
02 January 2025 07:26
The way it's underpowered is definitely not for highways. It takes planning in order to overtake, especially when fully loaded. If only Hyundai put the turbo engine in more variants.
How does the Creta stand on build quality and safety against European rivals?
02 January 2025 07:26
No comparison. Build quality and safety belong to European cars leagues ahead. Creta sounds tinny in comparison. For peace of mind I'd always go for a Skoda or VW.
Are the Creta's popularity and exclusivity affected?
02 January 2025 07:26
There’s a reason why the Creta is popular. It's not exclusive, but it keeps its value. When it's time to sell, you'll be glad you went with a popular model in a few years.
Is Hyundai Creta really that much hyped?
02 January 2025 07:26
Absolutely! I have had my Creta for two years and it has been a dream. It’s also very comfortable, especially when you’re on the road for a long time. Also, the price point is insane for the features you get. Where else would you get a panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats at this price point?
Why is this the case? Why do Creta drivers get such a bad reputation on Indian roads?
02 January 2025 07:26
It's more about the Creta buyers' demographic, I think. Most of the time it’s younger professionals or first time SUV buyers who probably went a little crazy with their new ride. They'll mellow out, give them time.
Is the Aura's frequent relay problems enough to make it unreliable for long trips?
02 January 2025 07:24
People are blowing this out of proportion, I think. All cars have issues and the relay problem with the Aura appears to only be present on a small percentage of the cars produced. But Hyundai's been pretty good about fixing it under warranty. If you’re worried, you can always keep a portable jump starter in the car for peace of mind on long trips.
Is the Aura's boot space practical or just good on paper?
02 January 2025 07:24
The boot looks good on paper, but in practice it’s a bit of a letdown. The wheel arches eat into the usable space and the opening is narrow. Larger suitcases have been difficult for me to fit. If boot space is high on your priority, you are better off with something like the Honda Amaze.
The hype surrounding the Aura's infotainment system, does it live up to it?
02 January 2025 07:24
I don’t think the Aura’s infotainment system is as bad as people make it out to be. For the price point, it’s actually pretty good. It's a bright screen that is visible even in sunlight, the touch response is quick, and wireless Android Auto is a big plus. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely one of the better systems in its segment.
Does the Aura’s ride quality make it suitable for Indian roads?
02 January 2025 07:24
If you're somebody who is frequently found behind the wheel in both city streets and highways, then you'll appreciate the fit the Aura wears in between the two. The chair is comfortable enough for daily commutes and doesn’t feel too floaty on highways. It’s not perfect, but if you’re looking for a good price, it’s a good balance.
