Except for the price of used one, it ticks most of the boxes and one of the competent cross over available with no worries about spares.
Mod friendly too

PS: I still love the 1 Gen SXO except the price

Voted No.

After using my new i20 for 2.5 years and seeing how it’s ageing, I will not buy a used Hyundai. There are lot many rattles, and for me, the car doesn’t really feel built to last, say like a Polo. And in my friends circle there are many Hyundai cars with paint chip issues, this might have been fixed in new Hyundai cars. Also 3 star safety rating is another issue. So there is nothing aspirational in a Creta to buy a used one, unless it’s going on a dirt cheap rate - which again will not be the case with Hyundai as it has a good resale value.

I don't know if new Hyundai cars have this issue but I have 6.5 year old grand i10 whose interiors still now don't feel outdated or deteriorated. Even exteriors are quite good if you say paint quality or rubber quality. Even engine noise, gears, breaks etc all are as good as new one. Cabin sound insulation slightly reduced but still better than many brand new cars.

Also last year I was searching for an automatic hatchback for parents in Spinny and cars24. My criteria is 4-6 year old with less than 50k odo. Took test drive of ignis, grandi10s, honda jazz, celerios, balenos. Of them, grand i10s are the best in terms of interior or exterior. Only reason I chose the Honda jazz over the grandi10 was I already had the Grand i10, Now I am repenting my decision. I asked the Honda service center to fix cabin insulation& slight rattling issues and cited that my similarly old and run Hyundai car doesn't have these issues. The service guy's response is you can't compare Hyundai cars with others.

Maybe actually see 5-6-year-old Cretas and then conclude.

.

I guess the Honda asc in your locality is not interested. Having owned 3 Hondas (2008, 2010 &2017) and having 2 Hyundais (2008 & ‘18 vintage) in the extended family, there’s frankly no comparison between the ageing characteristics of the two brands. Maintenance costs of the Hondas put together are lesser than those of one Hyundai. Excepting the rubber parts of the Hondas which are aging rather poorly, the cars are absolutely trouble free while the Hyundais have had steering rack issues, paint issues and couple of other irritants. Rattling is actually dependent on the roads you drive on and your driving style. My oldest car - 1.4lac km, not a single rattle (all City driven of course).

Voted Yes, I myself own a first generation facelifted Creta 1.6 diesel 2019 top model, covered around 60000km, runs like as it was on day one, the interiors, plastics, paint etc look as good as new. The 1.6 Hyundai diesel is a gem, no worries of DPF, DEF and it is quicker than the present 1.5. Just check that regular service has been done.
Also the first generation creta scored better in latin ncap, (body shell stable), compared to the second generation creta(body shell unstable).

Voted - YES
Only as the 2nd car in my garage. This is a no nonsense car which I would use to run errands. Ferry elderly parents, kids and so on. High GC helps in bad roads that we encounter almost always in Bombay and Hyundai's overall hassle free ownership - all combined together its a good 2nd car which always would have my back incase my German sedan needs some urgent repair or I am jut not comfortable driving a low slung sedan . The 1.5 turbo petrol with DCT has enough grunt to keep me happy in case I take it to highway. I never liked the quirky looks of the 2nd gen but still wouldn't hesitate to own one for all the reasons above.

[anshu1101]

Voted No.

Reasons:
- Way overpriced in the used market
- Questionable safety
- Don't like the quirky looks

As someone who picked a used first-gen facelifted 1.6D AT model of the Creta, I will say they are exorbitantly priced. The dealers know very well that the 'Perfect SUV' tag used by Hyundai rings good for many. If you don't pick it up, someone else will. These sell without any discounts or negotiations. After picking it up, I have added auto folding mirrors with a relay.

As for the 2nd-gen, I could never digest the looks and the hence voted No for it. The features though are much better than the first-gen.

Yes, but it was not made for India. If you are enjoying the car for its practicality and reliability then that's good. But let's not mislead young members on the safety aspect of Hyundai cars. They have their own strengths.

[sanjeevs]

Voted 'NO' because the pricing of the pre-owned creta'S will be overpriced and they are simply not bang for the buck. For the same price point, there are plenty of options available including the reliable Honda's. VAG twins and many more.

Secondly the looks do matter and of course they are subjective in nature but the older 'gen 2' looks does not suit my taste and it looks more like a Chinese brand. The current model on sale actually looks more upmarket and slightly has a mature design as compared to its old avatar.

Finally the most important point would be that do Hyundai's age well ? In my opinion they are not for a multitude of reasons.

Check the Latin ncap website, the car was made in India. Attaching the screenshot of the results published by Latin ncap.

Yep, but Made In India and Made for India are two different things no ?

It's a reliable car and I don't have any issues with it's look. Rather, I like the looks of the Creta Gen 2 car. Most of the members suggested it's pricing could be on the higher side and I agree that it's priced higher in the used car market. But doesn't that show it's demand? If I get the price right, I won't mind purchasing a pre-owned Gen 2 Creta for myself.

Jithin was not doubting where it was made but made in India is not the same as sold in India. For example the screenshot you shared lists the 1st gen Creta’s weight as being a good 150 kilos more than the weight of a 1st gen top end diesel Creta sold in India. Obviously since the tested model also has just 2 airbags that deficiency in weight is likely to have come out of the structure making the version sold in India that you own probably quite unsafe.

[gsratta]

This has been discussed in a dedicated thread in this forum

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/road-...in-ncap-2.html (India-made Hyundai Creta scores 4 / 5 stars in the Latin NCAP!)

The crash test weight includes the kerb weight, the weight of the dummies, child seats, and the test equipment. The kerb weight of the car tested was same as the model sold in India at that time.
