1914.1 | Korean cars built for Korea: BAD PERFORMANCE, POOR QUALITY. But for UK??? | CABU::HULLIN | Ibant obsuri sola sub nocte | Mon Oct 12 1992 13:40 | 50 |
1914.2 | Pony had good test results | EEMELI::HAUTALA | Cats In The Cradle | Mon Oct 12 1992 13:58 | 11 |

In Finland only Korean car available is Hyuandai. Hyuandai Pony
was tested properly; 100 000 kilometers in various conditions.
Result: it was like any japanese car, so it was suprisingly
reliable.
Pony is based on older Mitsubishi Lancer.

Hyundais used to have a poor reputation for longevity, but build
quality is up now and their cars are probably worthy challengers to the
likes of Nissan's Cherries and Micras.
Personally, I think the Coupe S is a very nice looking car, but, as
someone else said, performance is very dull for a supposed 'sporty'
car.

1914.4 | Hyundai build quality | DUBSWS::KANE_BF | The clot, thickens.... | Mon Oct 12 1992 14:45 | 18 |
| Don't know anything about the MVi but.........
"What Car ?" magazine [GB] in a group test, placed the new
Hyundai Lantra above the current saloon leaders - Cavalier
& Sierra.
The Lantra visually & dynamically transcends any previous
Hyundai model. It's certainly one of the best lookers in the
saloon class, and comes with a 16 valve DOHC engine (admittedly
a Mitsubishi-based engine, but far from being a dated one).
Haven't heard about the MVi, but if it's anything like
the Lantra, it's worth checking out. Also, the Lantra has
exorcised any remaining Build Quality ghosts, on the contrary
its build quality was one of the criteria that decided its
"What Car ?" group test victory.

1914.5 | MVTi?? | YUPPY::CARTER | Windows on the world... | Fri Oct 30 1992 12:27 | 12 |
| Anyone tried the S COUPE MVTi??
Anyone had a quote...
this is another one on my list to test drive as the performance
figures look good for a car <11K and it has all the extras like
power steering, lecky windows and a leather steering wheel
(something I had convinced myself I wasn't going to be able to
have any more)

1914.6 | Look at running costs | TIMMII::RDAVIES | An expert Amateur | Mon Nov 02 1992 16:10 | 6 |
| Have you looked at the MPG?. I did, the 1.6 16v comes out at about
24MPG urban (don't have the book to hand).
My Rover 1.6 16v is 30+ urban.

1914.7 | Thanks but no thanks | BRUMMY::BRACEY | There ain't no sanity clause | Sun Nov 29 1992 14:21 | 10 |
| Thanks for the info. She who must be obeyed has decided against it,
mainly on grounds of build quality (her perception) personally I
didn't think it was bad for the price. I think what realy put her off
was the comment from the salesman "People used to look on them in the
same light as Ladas but not any more" She had a Lada for 6m as
temporary transport, need I say any more?
