Re: Atrocious reliability on my Hyundai Creta - Head gasket failure @ 40,000 km Quote:

If you go for a Hyundai you value features and interior quality along with decent after sales support but that’s about it. |
I share similar opinion for Hyundai, AC issue is something that I have seen in 1st gen i10, 1st gen and elite i20 and 1st gen Creta in my circle. The i10 also had the air direction knob not working and coolant reservoir getting dry in few days. This made me realize why Maruti sells, simple Japanese reliability at core coupled with affordable price tag(not a fan of Maruti though).
For OP, here in Noida I once travelled in 1st gen Ertiga, odo at 84,xxx kms (original was 6,84,xxx kms). On asking I was told that entire engine was rebuild at Sec 16, Noida for 60-65k and it was silent as hell. Rishikesh is not far away and there are far better FNG garages here. |
