Sorry for your loss
For the better or worse I do around 500km a week with work and social combined so it adds up quickly! I hope I don't get flamed for sharing some of the information here and not on other posts but I've been busy lately.
Fuel economy: 9.8L/100km historically over 20,000km (heavy 25 year old right foot
)
Tyres: Currently looking at Michelin PS4 or Potenza RE003. P Zeros are at the end of useful life 2 x barely legal 2 x probably 15-20% life left and considerable loss of overall grip. Not happy in the slightest with these tyres
Warranty: I reported the heat shields on the turbo / exhaust headers for rattling (Sounds like engine bay - assume some shielding has become loose from wheel hop vibration before I got powerflex bushes). At the 20km service they told me it's not the heat shields but the baffle from the rear muffler which is not covered under warranty as I have a res delete. Quoted me just over $3,000.00 AUD for SUPPLY ONLY of rear muffler... I walked away laughing... Went home and tightened all the heat shields I could find/reach for myself the next morning and rattle has significantly reduced. Not saying the res delete kills rear mufflers but it is surprising they pointed to the res delete and blamed that for the rear muffler which, in my
professional opinion, is not the issue with the rattle from engine bay. Again no noises from Sport / N / Custom it's just back in normal mode windows down you sometimes get a faint rattle / vibration.
Gearbox and steering felt like new after 20km service and all they did was adjust inspect to factory.
I've 2 maybe 3 hard starts (not for a while - assumed fuel or electrical gremlin) and I did have the temp gauge go to just below 3/4 up a bit on a hot day zooming around (yet oil below halfway) and a few other niggly things like infotainment resets but all in all nothing "wrong" to report.
Would buy this car again in a heart beat. Multiple conversations have been started and friendships driving it around and talking to car guys, especially some of the older enthusiasts who want to see what the fuss is about from Hyundai.
Also touch wood my rims are 100% untouched/no gutter rash - I guess that's the beauty of being the only driver
Any other questions are welcome!
