I am writing to inform you of my experience with Hyundai Accent CRDi bought in 2005. It was good until I took it for my first paid service. It was like they were waiting for me. 8k was my first bill. Subsequent 10k another 7.5k bill. It is 3 years old now and the front axle broke. Imagine that? Even FIAT which are decades old don't have this problem. Replacement cost 40k. I have a Toyota qualis bought in 2001 and it has done 100k km. Total maintenance costs that I may have paid so far in 7 years is around Rs 35k. Those of you planning to buy a Hyundai car (irrespective of the model), be careful. It will last 3 years without any problem and after that it will create a BIG hole in your pocket. I was warned, but did not listen. Now I regret. Hope you don't make the same mistake again. I am putting up the car for sale.
