I never had a bad opinion about Hyundai.
They have always been better than the rest of the crowd.
Case in point, Santro. These guys came with MPFI in India when Maruti was still passing carburettor as the pinnacle in tech.
The introduced new variants, new models even for cars which did well.
Santro V1 was selling well. But they upgraded the engine to 1.1L so that performance is better. Look at the Wagon Rs, Zens and Esteems.
Then they introduced the Xing, and then Xing erlx. These were not introduced because santro was not selling well. They just upgrade whenever possible.

The only thing bad about Hyundai is their advert where they try to potray owners of other cars as illiterate or backward. Apart from this they make great cars which are value for money,
Even the elantra which is not selling at all is a great value for money. Infact its the largest selling car in the US, sells more than accords and corollas etc.,
Skoda may boast of amazing quality, but hyundai has more faith in themselves as they offer 4 years/80000 kms warranty.
Look at their spare part costs, they dont charge the sky, and service is also cheap. They have everything to go forward and hyundai is one company which will definately survive.
