Went to a dealer and while he was changing the tyres, I found rust on both the front wheels.

First of all, congrats on the new car.

Please don't get worried about the rust. Its surface rust and nothing major. Its a common phenomenon with vehicles standing for long periods in yards. All hubs and knuckles are made of cast iron, and surface rust on them won't affect their life. The rust you see on brake discs will go away once pads rub on discs.

If you refer previous few pages, I had exactly the same problem. The rust is excessive, specially for steering knuckle which has 5 connections and is very critical. I was not satisfied with the answer given by Hyundai and the whole scenario unfolded was not confidence inspiring, specially the mail communication which was not congruent to what was verbally communicated.

Here is one of my post : http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/offici...ml#post3715314

Goes on to show that Hyundai clearly has poor QC, specially for casting components. In my posts, its mentioned that other cars that we have do not suffer from such rust despite being older.
Tell the Service center that you do not feel its normal, and ask them to change the steering knuckle. I was told by one authorized service center that one Xcent owner in my city had the steering knuckle painted after he observed the rust.

Standard reply from HASS and if they accept, the parts may be changed under warranty and at their costs which they may not like to do hence reply that it is normal.

One thing is clear - Rust isn't good be out surface of deep one. If HASS says it is normal then ask them to show the other cars in their stockyard and check yourself. Since your car is new, get the warranty claim raised and change the rust parts.

Hyundai is loosing it and riding high with the success of Elite i20 and Creta. Hope they too don't go to the levels where Honda has been trying to go with the Niggling City.

I agree.

I head a thud-thud sound when my grand i10 passes over small potholes at speeds of 30-40 or above. It is very smooth at lower speeds. The car has done only 1200Kms. What could be the reason? I took it to the HASS, the SA said it's normal. He wasn't able to give an explanation. Does anybody else face the same issue? What could be the cause of the sound?

for Hyundais made in India...

Grand i10 fails the Latin NCAP, scores '0'!!!

Its evident that not just the passive safety systems, but the structural strength too has been questioned from this test and this is certainly something to worry about.

Does anyone have any idea whether a face lifted version of the i10 grand is going to be launched soon? I read online that a 2015 version of the car is being launched in Indonesia. It's got DRL and a full touch screen audio system. I'm in the market to buy one and wanted some update before I finalise the current version. If it's going to be launched i can wait for it. Any news will be of great help. Thanks in advance.

There seems to be no news on this in India at least. This car should be around 3 years old now and it is possible that Hyundai will do a mid life update, though not sure when.With it selling over 10k units a month, I don't expect anything major to happen with the update. An aftermarket touchscreen can be easily added to the existing car. If you are buying I would recommend that you buy it now. At least in Bangalore they are advertising discounts up to 50k. If and when the facelift is launched the car will easily be another 35-40k costlier than the current model and without discounts. You could save atleast 70k if bought now. My experience with buying cars is that if there is a need buy now. All car prices are always heading north. My two cents.

I own a Grand i10 purchased in April 2015. I did my first servicing somewhere in month of June during which engine oil/transmission oil was not changed. The service center informed that they will change oil in second servicing. However second servicing is after 8 months/10,000 km whichever is earlier. My question is, isn't it mandatory to change the oil in first servicing itself ?

Even I had put forward the same question to the SA. He said, according to Hyundai guidelines the first oil change happens at 10K kms.

As per Hyundai and several manufacturers, changing the engine oil at the first service is not mandatory. Changing the engine oil at 10K kms is absolutely fine and will not have any major impact to the engine durability. However, it is recommended by most enthusiasts and even TBhp.

I have Grand i10 Magna which does not come with a factory fitted stereo. I bought a OEM stereo off OLX.COM from a Grand i10 Asta owner since he has upgraded. Since Magna does not have AUX and USB ports. Is there a way to install Hyundai USB and AUX ports? If not, any aftermarket alternative?

I have a Grand i10 sportz which does not come with a seat height adjuster. Now as we all know, in i10 we need to 'sit down' and drive and this has become a matter of concern since my Grandfather is not comfortable with such a driving position.
He's been driving an aged Santro currently and since that car has started throwing numerous tantrums almost every week, I am urging him to use the i10 which is standing unused for most of the days.
But coming from a Santro, he's just not ready to drive the Grand i10 due to its low slung driving position.
Also, he finds the bite of it's breaks to be too sharp for his liking.
Any solution to his problems? Or should I just sell it off and get a tall boy hatch for him?

If I may suggest, considering your Grandfather's requirements, upgrading to an i10 from the Santro makes more sense(than the Grand i10). Bear in mind though that the i10 is only available with the 1.1L iRDe2 engine now. The Grand i10's low seat position is unsuitable for the elderly.
