Why you would bother with a Hyundai is beyond me, give me a XR8 anyday over a cheap tin can.

Edit: spelling + wording.

i would have thought anything over 200hp in a hyundai, and you wouldnt be able to open the doors to get out from twistin the chassis

I have thought about the work that has gone into it, and appreciate that someone has done it. I just can't grasp the concept of why someone would pick a Hyundai of all cars to do these sorts of things to it. The build quality hasn't been anything to write home about, having any form of performance modification to any Hyundai is scary because you never know when the whole thing will just stop and catch fire.

The XR8 is clearly a much better car, the price tag from the factory is like that for a reason, along with a nice blue oval on the front. The Falcon's don't have the cheap shoddy build quality and don't need tens of thousands poured into them, to become 'something different'. The Tiburon has two freaking engines in it, the Ford XR6T can match it with one!

I'll help you, to get rid of it. Anyone who watched the 26 car hot hatch comparison last year in Top Gear, will know that the Elantra was one of the worst cars to drive. Hyundai should pack up and go out of Australia, even the world, their cars are absolute gutless pieces of .

Franky · 14-07-2005, 06:45 PM

In the UK 'car' mag they stated the Elantra was one of the worst cars they have ever driven and gave it half a star out of 5.

Back on topic, I'll take that Hyundai anyday but I could think of better cars to do up

FordGirl · 14-07-2005, 06:55 PM

hahah! that is absolutely wicked.

I love how people do that, you pull up next to a car that is normally a complete sh!tbox and you think "hah, what a tool" and then they absolutely own you. It's awesome.

Awesome burnout too ;)

This car is in america so getting an XR8 is not an option. And why would you when it's more fun making something thats not meant to be fast, fast.
I'm pretty sure a 10 second hyundai will attract more interest than a 10 second XR8.

Ok I do realise that the car is in America, but if you had the choice between something with a fair bit of NA power from the factory that was made by a reputable car manufacturer, you would pick it instead of any of the Hyundai offerings. The Elantra can't even make it up a slight hill from a starting start!. The cheap price surely can't be worth the amount of things you don't get. The Getz was the only car there worthy of a slight mention, but if you were looking for a car, they simply wouldn't buy any of them.

Why don't you keep your opinion to yourself and post something a little bit more constructive, I'm sure it's not that hard. Ask around about Hyundai going to leave Australia, I can tell you they are seriously considering it. Their latest campaign during Big Brother supposedly is the last straw, before they give in and ship out.

Going by your comments i assume you are still in school and don't own a car. :alien2:
I doubt the hyundai is a daily driven car. It's a toy. Something to have fun with.
It's just like saying to an owner of an 11 second xr8 to buy a porsche turbo because it's a better quality car and goes just as fast standard.

MITCHAY · 15-07-2005, 12:05 AM

I dont like Hyundais but DAMN thats awesome! Id say it would be unique aswell. I doubt many other people could claim they have a fast Hyundai. AWD burnout-i didnt even know it was possible till i saw that vid. Someone has used their imagination and come up tops.

Still in school and do own my own car. Damn more powerful and better looking than a Hyundai that's for sure. I don't see how that relates to a technical discussion.

Anyhow, I can see where you're coming from with the XR8 and Porsche example, but both cars have a certain standard of build quality and features that a Hyundai can never offer. Hyundai are one of the worst car manufacturers, whereas Ford and Porsche are reputable, and there is a reason why! If you were to buy a small hatch, like the Accent or Elantra, why not buy a Fiesta? They are such a better car in every shape and form, and would be a fun car to drive. The Hyundai would be such a terrible car, boring, ugly, and the list goes on. Top Gear calls the Accent the "Accident", and I can see why.

These 2 sentences are your problem. Still in school so you probably know SFA about cars handling, driving and capabilities. Then you go on to base your opinion of the car on its power and its looks. There is a LOT more to a car than those 2 factors.
