Viva ABS (Petrol) / Aveo 1.4 / Fiesta 1.4 Hi people!,
I am a newbie to this community, but have been simply floored by the quality of feedback and interactivity that I've seen by members on TBHP.
I am currently evaluating options between purchasing a Viva 1.6 Petrol with ABS / Aveo 1.4 / Fiesta 1.4 and would value your experiences with any of these cars that you may have!
I drive about 20k KM a year, value performance ( I will be driving this car myself) and interior space (family of 3) more than anything else. My thoughts on these cars are:
Viva:
Likes: - Still looks stunning
- Drives well, punchy engine and decent gearbox
- A.S.S. for Hyundai is proven
- Resale value may be better than the US brands (Chevy / Ford)
- ABS at same OTR price is standard
- Seems Roomy
Dislikes: - Maintenance costs higher than Aveo (compared parts list and service costs from dealer)
- Interior seems spartan compared to the newer cars
Aveo:
Likes: - Looks good, interior is plush
- High ground clearance and decent suspension
- Rear Seat comfort is best in class
- Silent
Dislikes: - Engine and gearbox combination :-(
Fiesta: (Yet to test drive)
Likes: - A good drivers car
- The interior is more focussed on the driver
Dislikes: - Interior
- Low on Space and small knick-knacks storage
Any experiences / views that you guys can share here?
Thanks in advance! |
